I’m on my last legs after trying all kinds of troubleshooting and I’m finally at a loss.
I’ve got a Sony XAV-AX3200 in a 2013 Hyundai Sonata SE and an iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Sony head unit is USB-A. I’ve tried running my phone through both the direct connection into the stereo and through the circuit board that replaced the usb port in the car and then connects to the stereo from there. Here’s my issue: in both cases, the phone will connect for about 30 seconds and then disconnect. It will not reconnect at all. My wife’s 15 pro does not have the issue.
Running a wireless adapter through the stereo out there port does work fine however. At this point, I’m completely lost. I’m running iOS 26.5 RC after thinking “what could hurt if 26.4.2 doesn’t at this point” to no avail.
At this point, I’m completely lost on what to try next. I’ve tried adjusting battery charging settings thinking that maybe that could be killing the connection, but the battery continues to charge. Changing cables doesn’t resolve the issue either. Any other ideas?
