Hey all,
I'm configuring my radio setup on my new Ascent today.
I created one profile for myself, and got my Android Galaxy S8 hooked up no problem, bluetooth is good, Android Auto is good. Me happy.
I created another profile for my wife, and got her Iphone hooked up no problem, bluetooth is good, Apple Carplay is good. Again, happy.
The problem is, if BOTH of us are plugged in to the front USB ports, for some reason, Android Auto gets disconnected, and Apple Carplay immediately takes over. This won't be a problem on short trips where my wife doesn't need to charge, or on long trips if she's not with me... but on long trips together, I prefer to be running Android Auto off my phone.
Has anyone else experienced this? Surely someone else is in a mixed Android/IOS household like me, right? I'm hoping its a configuration issue someplace.
I know that there are workarounds (IE have her use a USB port from the 2nd row, or use the cigarette lighter adapter, etc)... but I'm thinking there has to be a way to make this work.
Thanks.
