Can I use a USB hub in the single USB port in the center console?

Can I use a USB hub in the single usb port in the center console so that I can run both a tablet and my iPhone off the one port? Will the radio then see the iPhone as an Ipod and the tablet as a mass storage device? Yukon xl 2500 slt with the navi-radio.

nope, for two reasons: the USB does not supply enough power to distribute and the nav radio will never have the mass USB storage drivers for the interface to work properly.

Many usb hubs are self powered so that negates drawing power from the stock USB. As for using the tablet as a mass storage device, that could easily be tested with the current stock system. If it works like you want it to now, it should work with the hub.

The tablet works as mass storage just fine using the single usb port in the console. I have a power inverter so maybe I will try a powered hub and see what happens.
