I have my iPod touch plugged in to access my extensive music collection, but it doesn’t retain a charge. Does the USB only connect data, or is my cable faulty and fails to charge?

I don't know that answer but my question is why not put your music on your phone and kill two birds with one stone? I haven't used an iPod in years.

Both USB’s provide power only when ignition is on.

my USB charges my iPhone. I use SD chip for my music library.

Habit I guess. I like to keep the phone uncluttered, the ipod is in reality a phone w/o the phone and a much larger music library. My E92 BMW is a simpler issue. Its phone link is rather primitive so the ipod makes sense.

I recommend copying your music onto a USB-C thumb drive and keep that in your 992. It will be more reliable and simpler than the legacy iPod. You can just copy your iTunes folder over to it: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1223...l#post17077580

I used to use a ipod connected to my BMW X5. Eventually that method of leaving in car will kill the ipod's battery.

Aha! Thanks for the insight.

Some are data ports and some have the correct amperage to run radar and/or phones. I tested the ports on my 2022 Macon GTS. The USB C in my arm rest is data only, the rear passengers plugs are power USB C. Plus in the Macan they hide the 12v plug under a rubber mat. I had the first GTS and the dealership never knew anything about that plug. Plus it's not in the manual.
