Hi there, I have been using the Maps app on my iPhone 5S for nav as I got my R on lease before Nav was standard (and i was too cheap to pay for options). When the phone is connected via bluetooth it works fine with the instructions coming through the car audio system. However, if I connect the charging lead it seems to think it's an iPod and displays an error (because it's not). This stops the audio instructions coming through, once I unplug and go back to bluetooth it works again.

The problem is that on long journeys, which is when i use the nav on my phone, it kills the battery so i need to charge it. I could get an alternate 12v charging cable, but am i missing a setting somewhere? Anybody got any ideas?

Yeah I've got it working on Bluetooth, the problem is when I plug it in.
