    Quick question. I have a 2010, Prius III. Whenever I plug my blackberry storm into the usb slot, my phone says "there is not sufficient power to charge the phone". I've tried charging with the Storm 1 and Storm 2 but neither seem to work. I have plugged in my ipod and it seems to charge just fine. Is it just the phone that won't allow it to charge or is it the fact that it's a micro usb that the car may not be able to handle? Or maybe the usb port is faulty. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I would first try another cord. If other items are charging then it could be the cord.
    Hope this helps, I charge my Droid all the time with it.
