Garmin 590 LM Bike mount USB socket question.

I have plugged a I Pod in to it, and controlled it from the screen of the 590. I'm pretty sure I tried to use it to charge my phone and it powered up just fine.

If you are trying to charge your phone, make sure you use the lead that came with your phone.
 
As above, both power and great for plugging in music via Iphone/pod/mp3 player.

Something odd if there is no power to it with the bike on, is the mount definitely powering up ?

RBW.
 
Just got the chance to get the one I have mounted on my ZX12 tested and it works fine. Is there an inline fuse for this? I don't really want to pull all the panels off for nothing. Does it draw its power from a circuit board inside the mount? The mount has some torx screws, maybe it could be re soldered or something inside.
 
There is only one fuse which is in the + feed to the GPS mount. If your GPS is powering up in the mount then the fuse is OK. Yes the USB is powered from the cradle/mount and moisture can get in there and cause problems. Open it up and have a look.
