Accessory Power Goes Out mid Drive

[KennyCaphill]

So, twice in the past two weeks it appears my accessory and other power reset mid drive.

My 15" display screen would go dark -appears to power down as evidenced by the Ford symbol showing up- and then my dashcam would power off.

A few minutes later into the drive everything would power back up.

Only similarity between both drives was that I was listening to a YouTube video on both trips.

Anyone else run into th is?

First thing I'd suggest is disconnect the dashcam and see if it still happens.

How do you listen to YouTube videos? It's it a third party app or something? Perhaps it overwhelms the UI and reboots?

That sounds more like Sync rebooting then an accessory power issue.

keep in mind that when Sync reboots it turns off the two USB ports by the charging tray.

That’s a sync reboot, are you using wireless CarPlay by chance? I’ve seen this a couple times when the screen will lock up and then it restarts, but I think it’s something to do with iOS as it hasn’t done it since I updated the phone.
