Hi

I have a 2016 Audi A6 with a geniune Audi USB connection cable in the center armrest. The USB connection and the cigarette lighter point are not seen when I plug my phone in to charge and won't charge the Iphone. I have tried another Iphone and it is the same. A Samsung phone and other items all work fine and charge OK form both points. FYI, the Iphone charges fine everywhere else. I can only think it is something to do with the Audi voltage. Has anybody got the same issue? Do I need a dedicated cable with the Iphone connection?

Thanks
Andy
 
If this is an Audi AMI cable, then you need a specific iPhone one with the lightening connector. Depending on the model year, the new lightening connector cable may work, otherwise I found I had to use the old apple cable and buy an adaptor from Apple.
 
if you have USB from the AMI port it wont work, my dealer gave me a USB connector when i bought the car and i went back and swopped it for a lightening connector
 
Thanks for the replies, I will try a new connector. Typical Audi, my phone charges in every other car from the USB or power socket. I guess their cars are sooo cheap they need to make their money somewhere... :grin:
