Hi,1st post, so here goes...

Car is a 2015 Toyota 86. It is fantastic except for plugging my iPhone in via USB to listen to podcasts while I drive.

The head unit recognizes the iPhone, I can select iPod and it begins playing where it left off. Except one problem.

50% of the time there is no volume. The podcast plays, but no sound comes out of the speakers.

To fix this I have tried

Restarting the car
Reconnecting the iPhone
Turning the iPhone off and on
Trying a different iPhone
Turning off the Bluetooth on the car and phone
Changing the order I connect it so that it's plugged in before I start the car
The iPhones I have tried are both brand new latest versions

Then I will leave the car for a while and when I leave work it works perfectly. The issue is completely random.

Thoughts?

Maybe I should ignore the USB cable and try connecting with Bluetooth?
