    HDS 12 Live USB port use

    I have a HDS 12 Live. What do you use the USB port on the back for? Can I run my camera off of it? What is it really used for?

    I use a Microsoft wireless adapter with the USB and HDMI to mirror my phone. Sometimes it’s for the weather, other times it’s for seeing highlights of whatever background game is on.

    Yup, use mine every trip for charging my phone, camera, and other items. I also use my HDMI port for my underwater camera which I display on my HDS Screen.
    ciao,
    Marc

    As long as I can use it to power my camera, I'm happy for now.

    Thank you, I tried to charge my camera the other day and when I plugged it in the camera stopped recording, maybe I have a camera issue instead of a charging issue

    Do you have a link for that MS wireless adapter? I searched on Amazon and couldn't find. TIA.
