So I plugged in a car charger for my phone and the radio quit working. It's just all static and the display doesn't work either. All I can do is control the volume. Any ideas? Maybe it blew a fuse?

 

I plugged in my radar detector like I have done everyday for over a year and now cruise control stopped, voice command on steering wheel lags, none of the buttons on the dash respond and the GPS map displays the wrong position and lags. I am sure more isn't working but what could be wrong? I plugged in my iPhone to the USB as well. It worked great yesterday. Any suggestions? 2010 F150 Platinum with 45k miles. I would bet you and I have the same issue. Hopefully someone replies to your thread that helps us both.

 

Start checking fuses!!!! Read the manual.

Just a thought

did it do it after you unplugged it? sounds like the charger is putting out rf interference.

 

It ended up that the phone charger shorted and blew a fuse

 

I shut everything down for 10 minutes and when I restarted the truck, all was fine. Must have just needed a reset. I plan to do an update with my Sync to see if that will correct future issues. Thanks.
