So, looks like I'm going to have to install a separate charging cable in the rear bags for my phone. Apparently, apple is the only phone having this issue. Maybe if there is a software update for the boom audio in the future it will address this issue.

When your phone is plugged into the USB port, you have 2 choices of media at that point. 1)what's stored on your phone or 2) over Bluetooth from your phone. After you choose "media", you should see 2 choices. If you don't use the menu to choose, it defaults to the media that is stored on your phone, and in your case, there is none.

Do this: after you plug it in, hit the " home" button on your head unit, then choose "media" and you should see two choices. Change the selection from what's highlighted, that should be bluetooth.

This is the biggest reason I never use the USB port. I charge my phone with a USB car adapter in the cig lighter, phone is mounted on the left side. The only choice therefore is Bluetooth
