Default USB C port won't stream music

Hello,
2024 Street Glide, when i connect my iPhone 15 pro max to the USB C connector it only charges the phone, i can't stream music from any apps. When connected the connection icon stays grayed out as well. I've used several cords including an Apple cord. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there something in the bikes software system that needs to be switched on?

CarPlay won’t enable without a dongle. Tim’s Stereo Systems dongle fixes it.

do you have a headset synced? if not , it should be saying a message that you need a headset to enable car play (rider). there is a dongle , as mentioned, you can get, or make one. there are a few threads on that. if you go to device manager, click on the phone and try and connect carplay, what does it say?

You should be able to stream music from an app, via Bluetooth, without a headset. However carplay, needs the headset connected to work.

So I went out and tried to get my phone to stream through the usb port. It will not. I do use blue tooth and stream all my music with different platforms (XM, Itunes, Spotify, Youtube music...) Works fine with Car play or just blue tooth. I also have a flash drive full of mp3's plugged into the usb-c cord and play music from there too.

OK, my bad. I assumed he meant the “C” icon wasn’t lit. He must’ve meant the BT or USB icons.

Yup my 23 CVO is the same, if I plug in with an Apple cord it only charges, Bluetooth works fine. Every once in a while it will charge and play but most times it won’t even after updating.

Is there any way to have a shuffle option when using a flash drive like on the older Harleys?
