2015 Toyota Tacoma USB Charger Not Charging

[NashvilleTNGuy]

I have an iPhone X and when I plug a USB cable into the truck's USB port it doesn't connect the phone from a changing standpoint or a media standpoint. Anyone else running into this issue? Is it a USB port issue or a firmware issue? I know it isn't the cable because I use the same cable at work and it works fine.

Not joking or anything..... The key is on right?

I'm not following... What do you mean?

What jangles is asking is the key on or are you driving. My 12 volt doesn’t work if the key isn’t on or the truck isn’t running

 

[Lil G]

That’s on a 17 Tacoma and a 2008 4 runner

I had a rough day yesterday, only a single cup of coffee. [emoji23] I will check to see if driving fixes the issue.

Ya don't have to drive, just turn the key to on without starting the car and it will work.

I've heard that Apple designed their phones/chargers to be incompatible with other 'blocks' for wall plugs.
I know that a charger from the dollar store doesn't work with my iPhone SE, so my question for you is; Are you using an iPhone charger cord?

No, it is an aftermarket charging cord. It works fine in my house though. I have USB outlets in my wall.

I’ve always had this problem on my ‘15 with the USB. It’s not just with the iPhone, any powered USB device will either not always recognize or cut in and out.
Because of that, I have always relied on Bluetooth and a decent USB 3.0 adapter for the outlets, but the USB interface is nice because it picks up cover art and tends to have better sound and volume (in my truck at least).

Is it just the’15s? Anybody else having problems?

Hmm, well if it works at home I can't see why it wouldn't work in your truck. Have another other USB powered devices? Do they work in your truck? I would think it could be a fuse.

I’ve had vehicles where you had to turn the head unit onto read the USB for the USB to get power. Otherwise it wouldn't charge the phone. SMH

I have a 2015 double cab 4x4 v6 with the regular entune stereo/navigation. My iPhone 8 plugged into the USB port with the ignition key turned to on charges just fine. You don't need to start the truck, just make sure the key is in the on position and your stereo will be lit. (don't turn the stereo on).

Is it the usb/aux slot below the radio and climate control that you are using? This wont charge a phone.
