Is it possible to play audio through my iPhone speaker when I’m connected to my vehicle usb charger port? I haven’t checked if I’m using a certified apple cable. Does the charger cable variable matter in this scenario? When connected my iphone only shows “dock connector” but doesn’t allow me to select any other options. Normally I have other options available.
Hello wil137,
For difficulties when your iPhone is connected to your vehicle via USB, you'll want to take the steps below:
1. Restart your device and your car.
2. Make sure your device is unlocked and on the Home screen.
3. If possible, try to connect using another cable or USB port. Check the manual that came with your car to find out how to connect an Apple device.
4. Check your charging port for any debris or damage. Make sure your charging cable is inserted correctly into the port.
5. Update your device.
6. Make sure your stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.

Should that behavior still persist, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Contact - Official Apple Support They'd be in the best position to look into this behavior further.
Take care.
