He did mention a new cable in the OP. That, and a bad port on the phone were some of my initial thoughts, but the devices work in the other vehicle. I *think* USB does some type of low power listening to determine when a device is connected, then ramps up the power for charging and communication. I think this is what he is seeing with the initial connection / charging notification. When things are firing up something is going wrong so the USB is shutting down (either from the phone or the head unit) to prevent damage to anything connected. That's why, having eliminated the phone ports and the cable, I think it could be debris or other problems with the usb port in the car.Also try different cables as well
