Hey 'bird, @ws6firebirdta00 I see you have an '18 as well.
I've had issues where it connects and then disconnects the phone when plugged into the console (Android). Enough that I won't use it until it works better. I really wanted to use the Android interface. I bought a new cable yesterday and haven't tried it. What is your indication of failure?
I will try it again and make note if the phone shows charging or not, which would indicate a power fail. I also have a USB light thingy that I could use to check if DC power is present on the 2nd port at the same time.
