A device and method for dispensing air and/or sealant to a tire of a vehicle. Power supply for the air compressor is obtained via powered USB instead of the typical 12 V cigarette lighter connector. The position of the tire which is being inflated can also be determined via the data interface of the USB port. By communication between a compressor control module and the vehicle systems interface, the compressor can automatically switch off when the recommended tire pressure has been reached. The control module can be located in the USB power cord plug, and can provide for changes in voltage to the compressor to maximize power and inflation rate and/or efficiency.
