Hi guys, anyone tried plugging a USB hub to get more than 2 USB ports for data?

I have 2 game pads and 1 flash drive with emulator games and I want to plug them all in at the same time.

I tried a couple of USB hubs, and neither seems to work on the Honda Android head unit, and the Honda unit does not seem to recognize a HUB and know what to do with it ???

From what I have read, this may well be an Android limitation - but I am still not 100% sure it cannot be done.
Also cannot run a Hub on my "China" Android Eonon Head Unit :(

I would love to add an Hub, if only it worked !!!

It's almost certainly a limitation of the power output of the port. It's only what, 1 amp?

You should try it with a 12V powered hub.
Not that -- tried a 12v powered hub .. still did not work. I seem to remember some sort of error message that specifically said that the unit did NOT support a USB Hub.
