Hello!


I believe I know what it is. Some older cars have the ability to use an iPod in the car via the usb port. We have a 2015 Nissan Murano and the same issue happens. If you go into control center, and click the Airplay icon and it says "Dock Connecter" then that is what it is. One way to get around this is to use the 12V port on your car. Here's a good adapter. mophie Dual (USB-C/USB-A) 32W PD Car Charger - Apple

Be sure to look for one that's MFI certified.
