I'm a delivery specialist
I'm a delivery specialist with Subaru and we've seen this issue with certain specific phones. The best solution we've found actually involves a setting on your phone.
Make sure the phone is NOT connected via USB to the car. On the phone, go to "Settings>Connections>More connection settings" and click on "Mirrorlink" in the list. Next, plug the phone into a direct USB port in the car. You should now be able to click "OFF" under "Connect to vehicle via USB" and that should solve the issue.
Mirrorlink is an outdated application originally intended to function like Android AutoPlay or Apple's CarPlay to sync device content to the vehicle's screen. It never really caught on here in the U.S., probably due to the rapid update rate on cell phones; the operating system changes (not to mention the firmware updates) on the Android alone far outpaced the ability of the more static system in the vehicle to keep up. The only device I know of at this point that can sync and use Mirrorlink is Galaxy 3 running Ice Cream Sandwich OS, which puts it roughly pre-2012 and ancient in terms of technology!
As far as the power ports go, that can be a mixed blessing. I can't count how many times I've seen people run their battery dead just simply forgetting they had that electric cooler plugged in the back!
