Hey mcmer10,


If you're having issues with your iPhone not being recognized by your car through USB, we'd suggest cleaning out any debris from the USB port and cable, and if issues persist to try another cable altogether to isolate further.


If the issue persists with another cable, we'd recommend getting in contact with your car manufacturer for next steps to get that fixed as the issue likely lies within the USB port itself on the car. If you have other ports you can use, you should also test them as well.


Lastly, if this is related to using your iPhone for CarPlay, you'll also find more help here: If you need help with CarPlay



Take care!
