iPhone 15 with Anker usb to usb c cable works great. Zero issues in the past 2 weeks while I would have had to reset radio 2x in this time due to older iPhone not being recognized

People really need to stop paying for inferior hardware with 5 year old technology that's just being implemented. I never understood overpaying for an inferior product... Then again there are Taco drivers everywhere.
Like the damper I got for the tailgate? :)

Is there a new high tech damper I missed? What's the new technology? I use mine to keep the tailgate quiet when hunting while my hands are full.

10-4 You need a cable that is MFI Certified. Thy have a chip in the connector that enables faster charging and data transfer, and won't throw devce not compatible messages. The $4.99 ones on the stand by the cash register usually aren't MFI.

Lots of reports surfacing about people having problems connecting the new iPhone 15 Pro to CarPlay using various USB A to C cables in different vehicle makes. Anyone here have that issue in their Ranger?
I had issues with a cheap crappy USB-A to USB-C I had laying around. Wouldn’t connect to CarPlay at all.
I’m guessing the cheap crappy cable was power-only.

bought this cable from Amazon and it works just fine now:

USB Type C Cable, (2-Pack 3FT)... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FQJZQSY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I didn’t re-pair via Bluetooth, just plugged in and the questions about allowing to connect came up and it works ??
