Sync 3 charge iphone without Carplay
Hi Guys,
Is there a way to charge my iPhone with the front USB ports without launching Carplay?
I know you can turn off Carplay in the phone, but looking for another solution if there is one.
I would like to use the nav without Carplay since it uses data on the phone and I really dislike Apple maps.
My apologies if this is a repeat post, couldn't find anything about it with the search.
Thanks,

You can also go into the sync settings tab and scroll over to CarPlay and disable it, or you can disable it on only your phone so if your wife plugs her phone in she can use it if desired.
I disable car play and use the Ford Alexa app. It’s GREAT! I posted a thread on it and it’s benefits over apple... especially if you have factory navigation.

When I tried this I could go back to the default Sync screen but the Navigation remained grayed out only allowing me to use Apple maps. I have to physically turn CarPlay off to use the factory navigation.

I keep a cable plugged into each front USB port: a regular Apple cable in one for running CarPlay and a data blocking cable in the other for charging only. I bought this one from Amazon:
