    If you're referring to the usb port on the car charger, then yes. I haven't tried it with my SGS 3, but it never worked with my DX. I think it is a defective usb port on the charger. It never concerned me since the micro usb charger worked.

    I am referring to USB cable that comes with my Galaxy SIII phone, that I plug into a USB port adopter that is plug into the cigarette lighter, I am not having any luck, in charging my phone in my car using my USB port adopter, and I dont want to buy an additional car charger.

    It could be that the USB adapter you're using in your car isn't providing the amperage required to charge the S3.

    I use it with my Droid X2 and of a few days ago I used it with a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, before moving over to this Samsung Galaxy SIII, it works perfectly well with these other phones, why it don't works with the Samsung Galaxy SIII, I dont know.

    The answer is right in your picture - I am in the same boat with trying to better understand amperage requirements in these new phones (I have a Galaxy SIII and my wife has the iPhone 5) but one thing I can tell you is that if my 1.2A USB car charger won't work, then your USB car charger that says it is only outputting 700 milliamps DEFINITELY won't work...
