USB charging ports

[blacksheep37]

When my girlfriend plugs her phone in, it automatically tries to connect to Android Auto. Is there a way to make at least one of these ports "charge only"?

I have a satellite radio subscription. I prefer to use Google Maps on my phone and keep my 12 inch screen on the music screen. I also have a Bullet Point mount for my phone with a magsafe charger. I just want to be able to charge a phone.

There isn't a way to do it through the truck. If you have the center console that one is a charge only port. Or do like I did and buy data blockers. I was tired of the kids plugging in their phones and it starting up Android auto. With the data blockers it just allows them to charge only. You can pick them up on Amazon.

In my truck, I have the bench seat, the front two are charge/data and in the back I believe the left one is charge/data and the right one is charge only. I have a 2019 Big horn. Hope this helps.

Could always just update the auto launch setting on the phone.

Good point, but then it won't auto launch in her car when she plugs it in. My convenience definitely doesn't outweigh hers. I'd never hear the end of it!

AFAIK, you can select if AA auto starts on the truck menu as well. There is a toggle on your phone to set it to vehicle default setting.

If you have the center console with flip up arm rest, you have a charge only usb in the top clamshell. I keep a iPhone cord in there for my wife. The clam shell even has a small cut out with cable holder for this reason.
