They work great. It's easy to be skeptical about something this tiny starting your car, but I can 100% vouch they'll start your car up from a dead battery.
A quality set of 4 gauge copper jumper cables are going to run you $50.00, so this isn't too much of a stretch, I think.

I had a bunch of issues with the USB aswell. The oem cable didn't fit and when I got one that did I got messages like yours did saying it wasn't compatible. What fixed it for me was going into the USB settings on my phone and enabling tethering. Have to do it whenever you get in the car but it's worth it for AA. Not sure if it'll fix it for you but worth a shot.

Just an update I got home today and used a portable battery pack to jump my car off. I left my car running in the front yard for about half an hour and then I went to Chick-fil-A and came back. I parked my car turned it off and immediately tried to start it again and nothing worked. While driving my car my Android auto Port still doesn't work, any button on the left side of my steering wheel doesn't work and my automatic headlights no longer turn on I have to manually switch them to on. Attached are two pictures from my battery tester. The lower one is before I got it started and the higher one is after I got it started. I'm going to the dealership tomorrow but does anyone have any advice on this?

Also nothing happens at all when I put a load on the tester using the load button

Update! The battery oriellys sold me wasn't good. Honda replaced it and it works fine. My USB port still doesn't work, but everything else is back to normal. Now I have to return my o'Reilly battery

Your saying the bottom pic that's reading 15 volts is before it started and it was just under 11 once started? Cause if that's the case, it should be higher once the car is running due to the alternator charging it.
