Apple CarPlay with GTS Using a USB Splitter?
Hey all,
This thread seems to be the closest subject to the situation I'm dealing with.
I currently have a 2019 Ultra Classic and I am trying to run a USB A splitter from the GTS headunit to both the fairing cubby and to the tourpak (via 16' USB cable). In this desired USB configuration, I am able to hard-connect my iPhone 13 Pro Max in to both the cubby and the tourpak and it will play audio. But here's the problem....I want to use Apple CarPlay.
So far, It seems that I can only utilize Apple CarPlay when the iPhone is directly connected to the GTS headhunt without the splitter inline.
I am wondering if anyone has had any luck to get either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to work on their GTS head unit while ALSO using a USB splitter?
The original goal was to primarily use Apple CarPlay while my HUGEA$$ iPhone was hard-connected in the touringpak, while leaving the fairing cubby open for USB sticks and or pushing data updates for the head unit.
Please advise. Thanks in advance!!!

I just dealt w the same issue. 21 Limited. Would not work w the spitter looked up. Actually thought I had a bad spitter cable. Works perfectly w/o the splitter. I gave up and just keep my phone in the tour pak (where I kept it behore). Works great now. Good luck.

FWIW I use one of these on my HDHU14 (appreciate you are running the stock HU)
...Your Mileage May Vary
*OEM HDHU14 says NO splitters allowed but the above works great

- OEM H-D usb connector into the joke {sic} box compartment
- port 1 (the furthest away from the door) I have a UGREEN 6ft usb extension lead USB 3.0 Male A to Female A to saddle bag (ORZLY USB C cable to droid jacked into it)
- port 4 (the one right at the door) I have a 32GB SanDisk Ultra filled with mp3s
- middle 2 remaining hub slots empty

I haven't tried a splitter, but just spitballing here. Has the splitter been tried with only 1 device at a time? Phone plugged in with no usb inserted in the other port? If so, what about a hub instead of a splitter?

Yes, i have yet to try sticking two devices on the splitter. Maybe its just that particular splitter, but when placed inline between the GTS and the phone, CarPlay will not activate
but any playing audio is routed
