Hello, do I still need to run a ground cable for this to work or can I put the whole phone charger cable in the fuse?

I am not an electrician. All this unit does is provide the + side of power. The existing ground contact should be sufficient. I wired a car radio with this and it worked great.

The wire that comes from the fuse holder is a positive + connection only and should be connected to the positive wire on your charger. You should have a negitive wire coming the charger that should be connected to a ground source near the fuse box.

You would still need to ground it separately. Usually you can find a suitable ground very close to the fuse box.

Any metal part on your car (as long as it makes contact with the negative terminal) is your ground.

You still need to run a ground. This product just taps into an existing hot (positive +) fuse location on your fuse block. Your red positive hot wire will connect to this product.

This is a power pick-up one line only, solution. Any item needing grounding can be grounded nearby it's location if you do not want to run two wires to the fuse block.. If its for a phone you may want to find a fuse location that is powered even when engine is off. Good Luck!

Don't think it would hurt the charger but may hurt the phone. Could be too much amp for the phone.

Hi frank !! If your adapter has a small USB port , you just plug your regular cell phone sync / charge cable on it . Otherwise , I doesn't know another way to give a charge power to your phone. Just give it a full charge or try to get an adapter with the small USB port , like I got . I hope that was helpful . Ok ?? Have a great day !!!

Go to a Video service shop and they will run the cable for you. As for USB goes, you cannot.The video shop run my camera cable straight to the accessories fuse box, this way I don't need to use my 12V outlet.Also great camera.

This is the cable only. The other piece of the equation is a unit that is plugged into an electric outlet to accept the usb end of this cable. The other end of third lightening cable gets plugged into the phone, of course. So I would say no to your question. Usually new iPhones include both the cable and the charger. Maybe he lost his. There are "generic" usb chargers (not specifically made by Apple) but you have to watch the specs as they may not charge the phone as rapidly as the Apple spec'd chargers. Just search on Amazon for iphone chargers. He may want the cable too, not sure from your question, so I would get both. The are not expensive.

Grounding in not necessary. If no dedicated phone inputs, just connect to any vacant input (game, aux, etc)

You have to buy that separate. I have an old phone charger that you can plug the USB half of the cord into and then plug that into the wall. Cheap and works great!

I lost mine for the first one of these I had and just use an old phone charger with the correct size connector.Works perfectly.If you do not have one go to Goodwill or someplace similar, I am sure they have bins full of them.

You have to use the USB cord that came with your phone to connect to this charger. The cord that comes with it is just to charge the charger itself.

Phone charger will do the job, I use LG G2 phone charger, I purchased this driver as bare tool floor model so it came with no accessories,,,,, hope this will help

The radio has a USB port. Your phone charger cord should be equipped with a USB on one end and you phone plug on the other. If your phone cord is not so equipped you can get the needed cord from your carrier.

I have an iPhone 5 and I have to remove the case in order for the Fuse to work. I assume that would be the case for you as well.

Go to a place like radio shack, get a charger with the same voltage and amperage.... you're only working with 2 wires.... cut the end off the new charger and splice you old connector on the end....... almost anybody can do it and they should do it for free..... If you do not have the old charger, email me at mairajtjr at aol and I'll call you !!

Yes you will need a cord with usb just like your phone charger has. It will plug into holder and then into your phone.

We install the fuse on the positive cable (red) of the battery. We utilize a charger/inverter combination so only 1 cable connecting to battery and use a fuse that must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse rating in your inverter/Charger's nameplate as recommended by the manufacturer of the inverter/charger which in our case since we use a 1500 W Inverter is 200A

Drew. There are two outputs with different amperages. 1 and 2.1 amps. Look at the picture above. If your phone charger is lower than 1.75 amps, I would use the 1 amp, just to be safe. If it is above that, it will charge faster on the 2.1 amp output.

The Charger I received did have the grounding prong on the cord. I understand your reluctance, with four (4) strikes.
