No USB power in MY15 V12....any ideas?

[larger]

I cannot charge an iPhone from the USB. I’ve used original and 3rd party cables with no joy. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks

Does anything work on the USB in the car ?

Try checking the fuse for the outlet - it could have blown (fuse location should be in manual)

Only tried an iPhone XS and can’t get the music to play although I’m not sure this would work anyway.

I looked for the fuse and the most relevant looking fuse description is Power Outlet Cubby Box (F20). I tested the power outlet in the cubby box (and the trinket box) and both are working. I can’t work out if the USB is on different circuit.

Don’t think you will get iPhone to work through the USB. Have you tried it with an adapter on the iPod cable?

Also as already said, check fuse and check with another USB item.

In the My15 car I had a phone would charge off the USB cable. In this MY15.5 it won’t. I checked what the article suggests every way and no difference. Thanks anyway.

As far as I know the USB port will only allow charging, no playback. The phone needs to be connected to the iPod cable connector (with a 30pin to lightning adapter for a later iPhone model) to play music and should also charge. All sounds strange though. If it’s not the fuse, perhaps there is a fault with the USB port itself, possibly a loose connection?

Have tried 2 other devices and no charging of either (watch and go pro)

There’s no fuse in between and tested various devices/cables and nothing so looks it’s the port and or the related wiring. 😕

Hi,

I had a similar problem in my V12VS 2018 and after much head scratching I discovered that you have to enter the phone's password for it to start charging. Don't ask me why. It seems strange but it works in mine.

Cheers
