    Greetings all!

    2013 Prius Four w/ Deluxe Solar Package. First time plugging my iPhone 5 into USB port since getting the car. Phone charges but is not showing as available via USB. It does connect via Bluetooth with no issues.

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I WOULD TRY WITH THE ORIGINAL USB IPHONE CABLE OR TRY A SECONDARY WELL KNOWN WORKING CABLE

    Push AUDIO button> touch Source on screen> touch ALL on screen> this should show all sources. There is a USB window with all source Windows. Then plug in your phone to the USB cable. This should highlight the USB window to indicate connect. If the USB window doesn't highlight, then I would suspect a bad cable. If it does highlight then you need to fiddle with your iPhone settings.
