Longer USB cable on my 2018 spyder

[Johndeeredoo]

Hello All fellow spyder riders.
I got a good one.
I have a 2018 spyder RT Limited
The USB plug is in the frunk, but I want my iphone on the handle bars.
I was able to bring a lighting and a USB coupler cable from the frunk to the handle bars, but it will only connect to the BRP connect when the iphone battery is almost fully charged.
If I use a short lighting cable from the frunk, it works fine.
It also does not charge very fast too.
No matter what combination of cables I use, it just wont connect with a long USB cable when the Iphone is discharged.
Has any one used a powered USB hub on there spyder?
Thank you
JD

I use the LaMonster extension cable set and have the phone mounted to the dash with the RT dash bracket. I believe the USB power is just enough to keep the phone powered and I've noticed that with my phone at even 30%, after a few hours of riding it is almost 100%. I've also noticed that an almost dead battery will die if it's used while charging. I have a USB power outlet in the switch area that puts out more and charges better but doesn't connect to the dash system. I carry a solar portable charger so I can keep it charged so it doesn't die while riding.
