iPhone 5 and USB issue

[av8rdave]

Like many people, I use my iPhone 5 as my media player. I plug it into the USB port in the left saddlebag in order to listen to music.

After 10 miles or so of play, t goes silent and I get a "check USB" message on my screen. If I shut off the bike and disconnect/reconnect my iPhone, I get another 10 miles of play.

I still have the stock saddle, so my range may be a little butt limited, but I'd like to get more than 10 miles of music. I never had this issue with my iPhone 4.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm wondering if you have some kind of sleep setting on your 5 that you didn't have on your 4? Unfortunately, I still have the iPhone 4s, so I can't be off too much more help. If you think it's a reception problem, (I'm assuming you're streaming -- like Pandora or Spotify or something?) I'd say to try streaming from the app in the same general area of town without touching the screen or any buttons. See if it too dies after 10 miles worth of time/songs.

In any case, I think it has more to do with the phone or app. It could possibly be lightning v 30 pin connector, but I'd think that less likely.

I've been wondering about the lightning connector. Think I'll try a different one and see what happens.

Thanks for the thoughts!

I would try doing a hard reset on your phone. To do this press and hold both the home and top buttons at the same time till the phone powers off.
