    My daily driver is a Poco F2 Pro which has the jack port.

    My car is old and I still wire it to the speakers for using Spotify and such, my gf has to use the adapter thingy for her iPhone and she can’t charge and play music at the same time, I can do that without an issue.

    Too bad companies keep getting rid of ports.

      A fellow F2 Pro owner here. I don’t have use for the aux port that often, but whenever I do, it’s great! Older cars, mixers, etc, everything is just plug and play like it should be.

      However the notorious charging port ribbon cable seems to have broken again and this might be some of the last things I write with the phone :(

        Yeah, that is one annoying issue for sure.

        It happened to mine as well, what I did year (years?) ago, was to use a tiny piece of electric tape in the flex to make pressure and make it to recognize the charger as well…

        Still working fine after that.

        If your device stops recognizing data I think it is game over though.

      There are adapters with charger throughput. Or else a car phone holder with wireless charging capability that’s connected to the cigarette lighter port will do the trick.
