Hi everyone. Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or shed some light on this situation.

 

my phone will connect to Apple play through my phone. But will only charge for a second or so and then it won’t charge. Will still remain connected to Apple play 

 

it does the same in the cigarette lighter port too. I have no idea and this is my first truck!! 
 

thanks everyone

Welcome to the site.

 

These are just guesses, unpair the phone from the truck, then pair it back up, or try a different USB cable, they do wear out.

The Apple lightning connector is a pos. Make sure you blow out the connector on your phone. A spec of dust or pocket lint will cause the exact problem day after day.

The cables also wear out quickly. Try a new one.

Then thank Apple for making this crappy proprietary design so they can reap an incremental 25 cents every time someone orders a replacement iPhone certified cable.
