I’m sitting on about 7200-7500 miles and my car has already eaten two usb cables. Is this normal?

Both of my cables were usb a to usb c. One was a belkin with the made for iPhone program logo on the packaging. It was purchased at a Verizon store. The other was an actual Apple cable, also bought at that same vzw store

I would love to use wireless CarPlay but I’ve read it’s too unreliable on the type s. I don’t want it to decide to stop working when I need gps. Hence why I’d rather use the cable.

this happening to anyone else?

Been using the wireless since day 1, not one issue... (mine is a early 2024 model)
Shiiiiit I have read the complete opposite when it comes to the fl5 de5 and other Honda products that use our infotainment.

I have read the 2026 infotainment has zero issues it seems. Not sure what they changed there

Aw man. The wireless CarPlay has that slight delay. I thought it would be as responsive as my wife’s car. Dang

went to Best Buy. Got another cable. It’s definitely MFI too. Works fine now

Wireless android auto has been good for me overall, but yeah I find all the electronics a bit laggy and it seems to come and go in spurts. Occasionally my touch to unlock is super slow, and when it is, the rest of the electronics will be slow too. If I restart the car it goes away for a drive or two. The only major issues I've had with wireless AA is that after a period of time it will stop recognizing the phone entirely and you can connect, disconnect, reconnect, restart or anything else and it still won't work. Then the only option is to factory reset the head unit and it suddenly works fine again for 6-12mo or so.

I've noticed Android phones suffer from different issues with Android Auto (wired and wireless). I haven't found any consistent and related concerns yet from owners but I will say that what since changing phones a few months ago, all of my issues I had previously are non existent. I had a OnePlus 8t and it would randomly drop connection even when wired. Sometimes it would happen a few times during a 30 minute drive and sometimes I could make it for hours without issues. I'm using a OnePlus 15 now and it's been flawless.
