Anyone else having trouble keeping their iPod charged in a 2021 Q5 PHEV? My iPhone charges fine, and I even saw a flicker of charging with an iPod Touch, but the iPod itself just keeps draining. Tried a different cable, no dice. Is there something funky about the way the system handles older iPods? Hoping someone else has a fix!

I don't think the issue is on the Audi system. I think you iPod's battery is the problem. Since your phone works fine, the issue likely lies with the iPod. Try using another cable for the meantime.
Have you checked the battery health of your Ipod? @octaneonmymind might be right, your Ipod battery might be the problem here and not the system itself.

It seems like the 2021 Q5 PHEV might have trouble recognizing older iPods. Try checking the USB port to make sure you're using the right one for charging, as some are just for data. If that doesn't help, a powered USB hub might do the trick for more consistent charging. Also, make sure your Q5's infotainment system is up-to-date, as updates could improve compatibility with older devices.
