My Camry has one too, unfortunately it's too weak to work though my phone case.
Luckily my phone still holds a charge so I only ever really needed it on a roadtrip when I was taking tons of pictures.

My parents test drove an early Caravan in winter. They were impressed with how well it handled the icy ruts on the roads, as few vehicles at the time were Front Wheel Drive (And AWD or 4WD was limited to work vehicles). They also liked the practicality, being able to haul lots of whatever. So they got one.
Then they found out they were having their first kid.
Kept the Caravan for 14 years, upgraded to a '98 Grand Caravan, kept that until it got totaled out by a Hit and Run 17 years later, and are now running the wheels off their Sienna.
