I have the same issues can someone tell us more information about it?
...Ok, I've got no clue what ya'll are talking about. Are you talking about the ability to plug a Captivate into a car stereo via USB, and have the stereo play the music files off the phone? Because otherwise I have no clue what "CD player" you're talking about. Sorry, any chance you could clarify?

Are you on a stock rom? My understanding is the newer kernels can do this. I believe there its a thread in dev about usb out.
I may be way off base though. Only one cup of coffee.

Do you need to arrange the files on your phone in a specific folder? Maybe your radio has some documentation about that. Once you set your phone to USB storage, it should look no different to your radio than a flash thumb drive.
Then again it could be a driver issue, on a computer you need drivers to make the USB storage work, at least I did.

But plugging a cappy into a linux machine, it will read the SD card all day long if it's mounted. Give this a shot and post results!
~Gemuse
it may depend on the car stereo. do you want the phone to control playback or the stereo? you may be able to mount storage and browse with the stereo but may need to find out if there is something special you need to do with the folders. also there is a way to output audi over usb, if the stero supports it you may be able to make a usb cable with a resistor to put it in dock mode. also some kernel such as xcaliburhands 2.3.3 kernel can force dockmode if paired with an app. look in his kernel thread.
I have the same issue. Its not related to mounting the drive. To me, its either a driver issue, or a problem with where the car deck looks for music first. With my previous nokia, I had no problems getting the deck to recognize the phone as a storage device. still trying to figure it out
Has anyone gotten this to work? Really sucks not having access to my phone's music library while driving.
I do this every day with my cheap jvc CD player. I actually can connect two seperate way. The car CD player has a USB Jack and a input headphone style Jack on it. When I plug in the USB from phone to CD player USB I just pull down the notification bar and mount the SD card, the stereo then will upload/view any of my files and music and show it on the screen and start to play the music. I can even control skipping/next song wwith the remote.
Secondly I plug in a headphone Jack from the phone to the input headphone type Jack and can then also use voodoo sound app to control the amplification (which makes it sound so much better). This way I have to hit the buttons on the CD player to skip to next song or use my Bluetooth headphones to skip the songs. To do this I start the music with it plugged in via the male/male headphone cable, then turn on my Bluetooth headphones, then when music starts playing in the Bluetooth headphones I open the music app and switch it to the headphone output. So I can listen via the stereo speakers and control it via the Bluetooth headphones. Hope this helps or gives some thoughts for you to get it working.

I've looking at a few head units to replace my existing stereo. I tried a few units with built in bluetooth at the local big box store.
I set up my phone to play both bluetooth audio and attempted to make a phone call, but the 'helpful' store employee asked me to put my phone away (evidently they're afraid I was amazoning the price). I told the guy I was pairing the bluetooth, but he didn't care. Too bad, because making a phone call would've sealed my sale. I guess I'll amazon it.
I was deciding between a Kenwood & Sony... sorry I didn't get a chance to record the model numbers, but they were ~$175.

Actually, they can, inside their store. It's private property and they can ask you to either turn off your phone or leave. If you refuse to turn it off, they can tell you to leave. If you refuse to leave, you're legally trespassing and they can have you arrested.
In any case, they clearly didn't want your money.

Yeah but they can't physically touch you without getting sued. I have two sales / retail jobs.
I have a Kenwood in my car with BT. It auto connects to my Incredible but only if I have the "phone" option under advanced BT settings set to connect. If I just have media set to connect it wont auto connect. But if you use the hands free BT then you'll be fine. It'll auto connect to both phone and media audio.

Well sure, but where did he say they touched him?
The guy didn't threaten me, he just kind of shrugged and pointed towards the spy camera. I ended up with a Clarion _Z500 (I forget the first letter) for $50 off since it was missing the remote. I didn't need the remote since I sit 2' away. Thankfully everything can be accessed via the panel.
It's nice (though not as good as the one in my acura). Via bluetooth it pauses music, answers calls, accesses my phone book and makes a decent call with the included mic.

Yeah, but the problem with FM transmitters in my experience is that if you drive between counties you usually have to change stations and the sound quality is meh.
It also doesn't work well anywhere that FM radio signals have trouble getting to.

Sonos S5 Media Player
LG Multimedia Stand
Samba App for Android
Sonos Controller App
As long as both the Media player and the phone are connected to the same network, the player should be able to see the Samba share on the phone and play the music stored on it. You can control what gets played using the Sonos app on your phone.
If the media player is not on the same network as the phone, then you can connect the phone direct using a 3.5mm male/male cable.
my friend has one of these on loan, he controlls it via his iphone and WM HD2. problem is its expensive

the lg multimedia stand is it just a charge stand? without any special function?
Correct, the stand is just a stand. As the phone really needs to be on charge, I just thought it looked better that way.
The setup works really well, the player connects to the phone without any trouble and the sound quality is excellent. It was expensive, but if you like your music it is worth it.
BT sounds great in my car.... think what i need is a BT capable, mini/hifisystem thing... nit much cheap there also. Is there a BT connector you can add to an aux in. would rather do this than via FM transmitter
I use a BT device on my hi-fi system and I just have to connect the phone to it and start playing the music (works with all the phone I have tested so far: iPhone 3GS, HTC Magic, Google Nexus One and SE X10).
The device uses RCA cables to transmit the sound to the hi-fi system and it works great !

I have used music on the same ROM, it was fine. My guess is your sd card is wonky. Try a different one and see if it persists. Try a different music app too. Good luck.

Alternative music apps to try to fix the problem:
- Mixzing
- PowerAmp
They have lots of settings for you to play with that I'm sure will solve your problem. It could also be your aux cable but try the mediaplayer first. If the player or the aux cable isn't the problem, then try another rom and repeat the process with your new mp3 player, and aux cable and new rom's bluetooth
I'm sure you'll fix it by repeating that process.
I'll give the alternate music players a try as well as trying a new memory card, it worked before but this just started in the last month, if that doesn't work I'll just reflash the rom, I'm actually upgrading to an Evo or WP 7 Pro(Arrive) next week so I might just Ruu the phone and put it up on craigslist, but I want to try and fix the issue incase I sell it to a friend who wants to keep it rooted, thx for the suggestions

I just got a new car and it has a spiffy usb hook up where you can plug in an ipod/flash drive/phone and it will play music off of it. The ipod works amazingly with the stereo system, displaying titles and artist as well as making navigation really easy. The display/navigation is **** when hooking up a flash drive/phone.
It would be amazing for my phone to work the same way as the ipod.
Right now there doesn't seem to be anything like that out. I know that I probably can't change anything with the way the car's stereo system recognizes and plays devices, so that means the hack would have to be on the phone. The only way I can think it would work is the make the phone spoof as an ipod when connected to the car's usb hook up.
I'd like to know if anyone has tried doing this before, maybe on a different phone or device? Is this possible at all, and if so, where would I start?
The phone I have now is a Captivate running Serendipity rom and the car is a 2010 Honda Civic.
This would be an excellent idea for an app. I hope this can be made possible
Have you tried putting the phone in USB storage mode? Either through the standard menu items, or enable USB debugging, and enable it after you plug it in.
Sent from my Captivate running Continuum 5.5
The mass storage thing works for just playing music but it displays songs terribly, usually just by track number and the number (not the name) of the folder, sorted by creation date. It's basically impossible to use if you have more than a small amount of songs.
I just connect the phone to my car stereo via BT, plug the phone into a car charger, set the display to always on, place it in my dash mount to the right of my steering wheel and use the phone to see the Now Playing info. My steering wheel controls work the phone just fine so I can skip foward/back and raise/lower volume. When I shut the car off the music automatically pauses until I come back and it automatically reconnects to the radio and I just hit Play again.

My car doesn't have blue tooth so this isn't really an option right now.
I'm actually willing to write an app for this, but I'm not sure entirely where to start. The biggest unknown is how the stereo system recognizes ithe ipod and what it sends/receives to/from the ipod.
If I had some starter code where someone did something similar or documentation on how the ipod works of usb I should be able to at least start writing an app for this.

The car is a 2010 Honda Civic Ex. I don't know what the stereo system is, it's what ever comes stock.
Welcome to proprietary apple exclusive deals. Do you think the ipod integration and lack of android integration is accidental?
By all means if you can write an app that will make android phones work with iphone docks and compatible stereos more power to you.
It would definitely involve reverse engineering closed source apple code.
Hi All,
I have an AT&T Nexus 6 and I am trying to stream USB audio out to my car stereo. When doing so I am hearing clicking and popping in the audio. I thought it was possibly a ROM/kernel issue but I am fully back to stock & locked and the problem still exists. Audio via mini stereo jack (aux) works fine of course, as does sound coming out of the phone's speakers, headphones, etc. I have tested 2 other android devices (Nexus 4 and Samsung Nexus 10) and USB audio is working perfectly fine in my car.
If anyone has any guidance on how to troubleshoot this it would be great. This is strange to me as USB audio out was added as a software update, so I find it very odd that it works on my older devices and but not the N6. If I can't get this figured out I will have to schedule an appointment at an AT&T warranty center to likely exchange my 35-day-old phone for a fecking refurb
Thanks for any help guys, cheers!
I RMA'd my Nexus 6 and the replacement behaves the exact same way. Other non-Nexus 6 devices tested work just fine.
Has anyone actually used streaming USB audio other than me?

The idea behind USB audio streaming is that you don't need to use an app. The device streams any and all audio out of the phone via USB rather than out of the speakers. This means that you can use Spotify, Youtube, Pandora, PlayerPro, etc. while connected to your car stereo via USB and have the audio in your phone played through your car speakers in lossless digital. This is a feature that was introduced in Android 4.4 but seemingly is saught out by nobody but me.
Prior to USB audio out, these were common options/solutions, all with drawbacks:
1. Plug into the headphone jack which is an analog signal prone to noise, interference, and muddy EQ.
2. Plug into USB and Android will automatically mount your phones sdcard partition the same way as USB thumb drive. This only works for playing media files that are saved directly to the phone. All other sounds/apps do not work through as the phone's audio hardware is not being used. This means no Pandora, Spotify, etc. and no controlling music from the phone. Casper, your radio is probably trying to mount your N6 this way – most car stereos do and are not expecting have a device connected that is outputting its own hardware-driven digital audio stream.
3. Bluetooth. This was the best solution as it uses the phones audio hardware and thus all audio is output the same way as the new USB out feature. The drawback to this is that bluetooth uses lossy-compression and so is lower fidelity than option #2, though A2DP has made quality far better than it once was.
If you can't already tell, I'm sort of a fidelity nazi and this is why I'm so desperate to find a solution to this issue at hand with the Nexus 6 USB audio out that noone seems to know exists.
Any update on this? I just got my Project Fi Nexus 6 and I am regretting not doing more research on the USB streaming in the car. The iPhone 6 worked flawlessly and I could change songs with my car (I just lacked good service). The car usb won't even recognize my google play albums downloaded to my phone BUT it will pull up my zedge ringtones. Every time I try to fool around with it, it just keeps looping my Mario ringtone through my car speakers lol. But seriously, any suggestions. I am so desperate.
