2006 Odyssey and phone charger
For some reason, neither my cell phone adapter/charger nor my laptop
charger work in my 2006 Odyssey. The only adapter that seems to work is the one for my PDA. All of these chargers worked (and still do) in other cars, but not in the Odyssey. The outlets being used are located on the front of the dashboard in the middle. This is extremely disappointing. Anyone know of a solution? Is this a known problem? Roger |

Re: 2006 Odyssey and phone charger
You do know the power to the outlets is only there when the ignition is on
don't you. So nothing will charge with ignition off....

I will check that out later. The car is actually my wife's, and she is out somewhere at the moment. Although, when I have been in the car with her, she has been trying to charge while driving, and not with the engine turned off. Roger |
