I upgraded my iPhone to an 8 and was excited to plug it into my vehicle and get carplay functioning. No, nope nadda.
Here is the perplexing spot. The phone charges when I plug it into the USB ports, but when I go to "Source" to play music, it does not allow a "USB 1" or "USB 2" as a source for playback. Android phones work in the car, so is it possible a channel on the lightning connector is shorted not allowing data to transfer but does allow charging?
"Projection" never changes to Carplay and it is as though no USB is plugged in.

BRAND new i8, cord that came with the phone. Bluetooth works with phone.
