Is it possible to route the audio on the Tilt to play through the PC's speakers when synced via USB? I know I can just copy the music files on my Tilt to the computer itself, but I would like to skip tracks, pause, etc. on the Tilt docked on my desk instead of controlling the computer's media player...
i think this is only possible via bluetooth (A2DP).
u could always get a Y_splitter with a 3.5mm output and connect an audio cable directly to the computer.. but then again, thats another cable- Not USB.
i dont think that syncing and transmitting audio could be done even theoretically, because The USB host can only read a client at a time, unless the phone were to act like a HUB
Just Q it up in VLC thats what i do... :\
Hello all,
A family member has recently bought a Philips dvd/media player (mcd122) that supports input via a USB device. USB drives formatted to FAT32 work fine with MP3 files, however I can't get my Galaxy S (with CM7) to work, even when turning on USB mass storage. It does read the USB device, but then reports "NO USB".
Is this problem related to the Galaxy, or to the media player itself?
Regards,
Quipeace
I guess that is because the phone is a composite USB device which the player cannot read...
It's a composite USB device even when having mass storage enabled? I've tried going into Clockwork and selecting mount USB from there, but still the same thing.
According to the manual it's supposed to work with USB cardreaders as well, I don't see why the galaxy wouldn't work.
Is there a way to ony share the SDcard and nothing else in case it really is a composite device?
Hi
I am unable to play music in my car stereo via the USB cable. It says that mass storage mode will onlly work with memory card
All the reasons why Android was so much better than iOS seem to be fading away one by one. I miss GingerBread.
Other than using the headphone jack RCA to RCA cable, is there any way I can use the USB to play music? What is this MTP and who supports it??
Oh, and my car stereo doesn't have Bluetooth capability, hence the question.
Thanks.
Farhad.

The MTP USB protocol was designed to solve the problem of allowing both the device and the USB host to have access to the file system at the same time. Unlike USB Mass Storage (where the support comes from drivers in the OS), MTP typically has to be integrated into the applications that communicate with the device. Since widespread MTP use parallels KitKat adoption, you're unlikely to see support in any automotive head unit that's more than a year old. And given the time needed to develop, test, and certify automotive electronics, it may still be a year or more before it becomes a common head unit feature.
Using the headphone jack and controlling playback from the phone is one viable work-around. The other is to just throw all your tunes on a cheap USB stick. It's a little bit of a hassle to keep two devices synced with your music library if it changes often, but your options are pretty limited.
I'm wondering if it's possible to play music on a car radio (or any usb input) thru the usb port on the note 4?
Any app, mod, hack, tweak to mount a certain folder (music) as a thumb drive?
I have several usb input audio devices, but I can't access anything when I attach the note.
I feel you, I tried to do the same with no success ended up buying a 3.5mm headphone jack to rca for my car stereo ?
Yeah that sucks

So you're trying to MOUNT a USB DRIVE filled with music and play it to your car stereo? You using a 3.5mm cable or Bluetooth here?
I have some USB OTG cables (really cheap, ebay) and play the music from my SD card using PowerAmp (FLAC Playback, also allows folder choosing; your USB drive?) through the OTG cable, to my Fiio E07k, then to my headphones/speakers. Works FLAWLESSLY, and if I plug anything to the headphone jack simultaneously, it will re-route the audio.
Hope this helps.
I want to use a usb cable from my phone into my car radio usb port and play the music that is in my phone thru the car radio using the usb cable and not the 3.5mm head phone jack.
i believe this is a feature in lollipop to enable audio through usb. gonna have to wait
"Android 5.0 has added official support for USB audio devices (both input and output) along with lower-latency audio input and the ability to mix up to eight audio channels. All of which means one, amazing, thing: "
I want my phone to act like a usb thumb drive when I connect it to my car radio thru the usb port.

I can't remember, I set it up a long time ago. It's a 64gb uhs1 card. I remember I had to format it with a pc app to get it to be recognized in my (then) Galaxy S3, and I simply moved it in to my note 4.

OK, with that being said, what stereo you using? Display style or single din?
Is it linix based or android?
Brand and model number?
I've got a pioneer single din in the wife's car (can't remember the #) and I've got a Kenwood dnx5120 double din, which has a usb port that will read a usb thumb drive or a hdd (or iPod / iPhone) but will not "see" my phone when connected usb.
I figure if it can read a usb thumb drive or even a hdd, why can't the note 4 mount itself as a thumb drive (external sd card) and allow my radio to read it's content and play it's mp3's?
Ever found a way?
Im in the same situation.
Ive tried the apps that enable usb mass storage mode on my sgh-1337m galaxy s4 and while it works and my computer recognizes my sd card as an usb drive, my car stereo still does not.
Any other way or USM enabler that works?

I have never found a way ? sad to say. If anyone can point us in the right direction if that direction even exists, that would be great.
Sent from my Samsung Note 6
I just bought a Kenwood KDC x701 and I had a very unusual set of circumstances. When I plug in my HTC 10 to either USB cable one or two nothing happens other than charging the phone. The Kenwood radio does not recognize the HTC 10 at all. I thought this was completely normal as I was not trying to mount the HTC 10 internal storage to play music files as I have no music files on my phone except audio recordings I make myself a phone calls and such. I am able to stream music via Bluetooth from the phone to the radio just fine and that's what I've been doing this entire time. The only thing I listen to is tidal music streaming service. So the other day I went to plug in my lgv10 to charge while I was driving and a funny thing happened. The radio display indicated it was reading and then went into a hand mode, it is literally called hand mode LOL. The next thing that happened was a message popped up on my phone asking me if I wanted to download a Kenwood app from the Play Store I hit cancel. Then all of the sudden it started playing music from the Tidal music streaming app. Although no information was displayed on the radio I was able to use the buttons to skip forward and Skip ahead of the different tracks but I am not sure I am able to pause or play music on the radio controls. I am not sure how it is possible to stream digital audio through the USB cable directly into the radio. I have no audio files stored on my phone on either phone and I'm not even sure how to mount internal or external storage on the phone if I wanted to use the head unit to access any audio files. So I called Kenwood and they said what I described is not possible with any of their head units. They did say that I should be able to mount my internal or external storage on my phone and use the Kenwood app two act as a music player and play the files on the phone and have them information sent to the radio. What it sounds to me like is I have a USB OTG situation with the LG V10 and no one knows why. Also of note I am unable to stream music from the lgv10 to the Kenwood stereo and no one knows why Kenwood does not know why. All of the track information is displayed on the radio I can control the songs going backwards and forwards the timer countdown xcetera but there's just no music. I will say streaming music from Tidal music service streaming app sounds much much better through the USB cable versus Bluetooth. I can't believe how much better it sounds over the USB cable it's like adding an amplifier to your system. I will try to make some videos and if this helps anyone that's going to be awesome. Also of note when I select source to USB when I have my lgv10 plugged in it calls the source Android1. This totally sounds to me like USB OTG. What do you all think and has anything like this happened to anyone else? And this does not work with my HTC 10.
I don't believe that this is possible any longer. It was possible under older versions of android (pre kit kat i believe) where the "internal sd" was seen as a physically separate storage device instead of being mounted under /data/media. Once they made this change, they had to swap from USB Mass Storage mode to the annoying Media Transfer Protocol. The reason Mass Storage had to be dropped is because of how it functioned. When you allowed access to your "internal sd" it would have to dismount it from the OS to give the host device plugged into the USB port exclusive access to the file system. Since they made the move to mounting it as /data/media there is no way to give that exclusive access any longer. Trying to dismount that /data/media to give that exclusive control would yank away all of the writable media away from the OS. Android would likely crash, or at least nothing would function any longer.
Just wondering whether anyone using Android Auto Wireless has had any luck in getting music to play through the phone's USB port?
Specific issue here is wanting music to be played through the phone's USB port, in order to make use of a USB DAC attached to the phone.
So still using the AA interface on the headunit to control the media app (e.g. UAPP), but for media playback to go via USB.
Thanks :good:

phone > developer mode > usb audio routing (i believe debugging needs to be off)
or
headunit > usb
you may need a new cable due to not having compatible connections for audio output.
(my oneplus will only open aa with its original red power cable)
currently trying to get it to connect to wireless but seems to be having a metal breakdown
