Connecting Smart Phones

[norfolkRX]

I've been trying to connect my 2025 smartphone to my 2019 Impreza. It needs both a Bluetooth and USB connection to display Googe Maps' quantity of data. Occasionally I can get it to connect to the car but it doesn't last long and fails with a message something like "Connection failed - remove cable and re-connect". The cable is brand new so I'm suspecting the USB x2 sockets on the car. I quite like Google Maps aerial view as a SatNav on the car's main screen.

Has anyone else tried this or got a fix for it?

Thanks
