IS300h USB Query

[Lexus 66]

I have a 2016 IS300h F sport and connect my Iphone using a standard Iphone connector / charger. I can play music but the phone doesn't charge. Is this right won't the USB cable charge the phone? 

Any help would be appreciated

Charges in both of our is300 f-sports, is it the oem apple cable when you say standard connector / charger?

USB in the car only supplies 0.5A output, so charges my phone very slowly and not at all if I'm using it with screen on for something like Nav or music. Better to use a 2A adapter from the 12v socket.

Iphone and iPod recharging-as-you-drive via, respectively, 30-pin-to-USB and Lightning-to-USB cables is something I take for granted

and not really thought about until I read this thread.   Although I nowadays almost always prefer my iPod (6th Gen Touch) to the Iphone

(ancient but trusty 4S model) for playing music on long or longish drives, I thought I'd try, out of interest, to see how quickly the latter

charges with a normal (for me) volume setting of 30 and the Bluetooth turned on for the phone function as it always is.  Starting out with

a 62% charge, I drove 15km and saw it increase to 73% and then to 85% by the end of the return journey over the same distance, no

calls having been made or received.  Not having any points of comparison with other brands of phones or car systems, I don't know if

this rate of recharging is good or bad but would conclude that it is more than adequate for any practical need I may ever have.

But it at least stops the Battery draining.

At the very least the phone should be showing the charge indicator if everything is working correctly.
