Using the phone 'normally' e.g. to make calls, I use bluetooth. To get other things like Goggle Maps and BBC Sounds working, the MMI asks that the phone is plugged into a USB port.

I have an iPhone X

Soooo looks like it was my aftermarket cable. I bought an Apple Certified one and now have access to Car Play 
Thanks again
