Anyone had any issues with the USB's for Car Play just go unresponsive, glitchy audio, can't change tracks via steering wheel controls, etc? This has been an ongoing issue that was just the main dash one but the one in the center council was usually fine. Multiple cables, yes Apple Certified, multiple phones, same issue. Of course dealer found no issue, blamed cable, phone, firmware version.

It does not happen all the time, very sporadic. I can go weeks with no issues then it just shows up. The only regular thing to happen is music sometimes gets glitchy in the sound. Like a bad RCA connection or bad volume control pot that needs to be cleaned. Always a great song when it happens.

Case in point, yesterday went to multiple places, no problems, then went to leave the 3rd stop no connection. Meaning no charging connection or music connection. Tried 3 different phones, 2 different cables. Only the rear seat USB would show charging, but that does not connect Apple Play. The dash and center one, nothing. Drove for about 20 minutes, left that stop and everything was back to normal. Like the USB hub went duh.

The part that I hate is I cannot play music via the cars bluetooth, I get the control part but at least let me play music. Music apps are primaraly Apple and Pandora. This has been like this since April 2021 when I bought the truck new, so multiple software and app updates.
