Line in works (so I have music from my iPod music player), but all facilities accessed by the USB (principally downloading play lists to my 2014 Kuga) no longer work. Can anyone tell me, is there a fuse associated with the auxiliary USB port in the glove box, or can anyone suggest another fix?
Thanks so much, in advance.
I don't think there is a specific fuse for USB ports in any car, of any car maker. So it is either a h/w issue (i.e. USB port malfunction, cable pinched or damaged etc) or a s/w issue of either SYNC or -most likely, like Guzzilazz said- an iOS update.
Checked IOS update and its up to date (easy option never applies to me!). Cant see anything wrong with cable. S/W issue? Thanks for your suggestion both.
Does the USB provide power ? Maybe there is something wrong with the connector and/or cable between USB port and SYNC. By s/w I meant if there is some option/setting that was altered in either SYNC or phone, and by iOS update I meant if this started happening right after an iOS update....
Mm? I am worried that the USB may not be charging the iPod now? (if that is one of its functions?).
Don't think an IOS update is the issue.
Could it be a problem with the USB port itself or the SYNC software (although given neither have been touched, I don't know how?).
You can still buy new iPods at John Lewis but, for what they are, they are obscenely expensive. The 'flex point' where the cable meets the connector is a common failure point on all Apple devices.
Oh, err... You're right - iPod Touch still made but for between £199 and £399 as you say... They use iOS 13, which has given a couple of issues with it's latest update
So, I have replaced the connector cable (between the USB and jack plug and the base of the iPod) with anew one, and still the USB is not found by SYNC and is non-operational. I have also done a Master Reset on SYNC, to no avail. I guess next thing is to try and determine whether the USB plug in the car, actually works? Frustrating problem though, not only because I have no control over the iPod via SYNC. Thanks to everyone for their considerable help though
Thanks for all your suggestions. I have taken much of your advice and perhaps, belatedly, tested the USB plug itself to see if it works (by taking @tezerex advice above-thank you).....and it doesn't. So seems it's a hardware problem and I need to have the USB replaced? Is this possible?
I've mentioned that you should first test the USB port and if there's no power, that it would probably be a problem between port and SYNC
You need to dismantle console and SYNC and check, I think it is available as a stand-alone part
I have a similar issue, my USB ports charge my phone but aren’t recognised through the Conan’s button on the steering wheel. This means CarPlay won’t work either. Any suggestions? TIA
