OK, it charges it a little, but not enough to maintain the phone at 100% while connected and in use with Android Auto. It discharges slower than if it wasn't connected at all. That's pretty disappointing. What did they think people were going to do with a USB connection? People generally expect USB jacks to charge things these days.
I don't know if it's just mine, but I'm guessing all of the cars have wimpy USB jacks. If your device isn't getting enough juice, I have the answer. I ordered one of these and it's all good now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NIGO4NM/. Put a real USB charger in the power port and you're all set.
