Hi,
I really hope someone can help me!
I've recently switched from iPhone to Android. Previously with my iPhone when plugging the phone in via USB it'd basically turn into an iPod and allowed me to play music through the speakers of the car. But with my Android (Huawei P20 Pro) I just get an error message on the car's screen saying "No supported data found". My car does not support Android Auto so that's a no go.
Does any one know any settings can be changed to allow me to play music via the car speakers using USB?
Cheers
Chris
Make sure the phone USB settings are set for Audio source or MTP. When plugged in the phone should show a pop up showing USB options you need to choose MTP or Mass Storage Mode. Another option is enable developer options and set it to default to MTP, to enable developer options goto settings, about phone, and keep tapping build number 7 times. You will get a new option called developer options. In there scroll to "select USB options" about half way down and there you can change the USB options. But im not sure if this will affect charging etc so take a note of what it is before changing so you can change back if it dont work. To be honest you should just get the notification on the phone when plugged into the USB, make sure you check the notifications area as its sometimes hidden there.
If you don't see a pop-up menu, just swipe from the VERY top of the screen, you should see USB options as described by marshyrob

I went into menu -> settings -> connectivity, and set the USB connection to "Always Ask" when connecting to a computer so that it would ask me if I want to use Charging/Mass Storage/Media Sync/etc. Even with that box checked, no matter what I do, when I connect the phone to my computer, it does NOT ask me what USB connection mode to use. Can anyone else confirm whether or not they experience this problem?
Thanks!
SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc.
call Verizon or LG for that support..OR try your control panel windows settings..devices

Is the little USB symbol showing up in the notification bar?
If not...try a different USB port on the computer.
Sounds dumb, i know...but it worked for me today when I had the same problem. And I think I recall it working on my old Incredible.

SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc, between mass storage mode and whatnot. When I switch the LG from charge to mass storage and back on the fly, it's doing something to the samsung drivers. When i reconnected my samsung, then the LG again, things went cuckoo for cocoa puffs until I rebooted.
I can't post a new topic as I have less then ten posts but I have an issue with my connectivity as well. When unplugged the phone still shows the USB icon in the top left corner like it is plugged in. However when plugged in the phone will charge but when connected to a computer mass storage mode will not work or show up. I have tried it in windows xp/ osx on my MacBook. Windows 7 on my desktop and nothing. The drivers are good as it was working before. I have done a wipe/data, restored back to cubed 1.1 mod and it is still doing it. It doesn't bug me that bad as I use andftp to move my apostle back and forth from my NAS to sdcard. But I would like it fixed as trying to put music or ISO's for my psx emulator can take a minute over the wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

Why am i getting a Factory data cable connected and i cannot switch between usb modes?
I had the Sony XAV-AX100 and everything worked great. I just switched to the AX5000 and now AA drops out all the time. It will either freeze up, or it will come up with a warning that there is no connection to USB. I have tried a different usb cable. Same problem. I am using the same phone Galaxy S8 and the same high end USB cable. I uninstalled AA from phone and re downloaded it. Same thing. It is very random. It will boot up AA just fine then go to Pandora play a song or two then drop all connections. If I unplug and wait and plug phone back in it will work for a short time then drop out again.
Anyone have any thoughts on what to try here?
I have talked to Sony chat session not much help here.
Thanks
I talked to Sony a little bit (from what I could understand) They think it is a MSC "Mass Storage Connection" connection with USB. But Android has not had a MSC connection since maybe 2015. So why would this be happening now with this firmware? Anyone have any suggestions on how to get phone to a MSC USB connection instead of MTP? Or the radio to use the standard MTP connection on every Android out there.
I got the AX5000 on Monday and have been fighting the same issue. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 running Oreo (8.0) and have tried everything from a physical perspective (cables, flash, factory resets) but no luck. When I spoke with Sony today, they tried to tell me that AA was not supported on my car (2012 Jeep Wrangler) which ignores the fact that this is an after-market upgrade. I agree that it's likely an issue with how the head unit communicates with the phone. The only place I have found to change USB settings is under the Developer Options. The available options are Charge this phone, MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol), RNDIS (USB Ethernet), Audio Source, and MIDI. I'll try each of them and resort back on the results.
Yes with talking to Sony they said that the phone USB has to be set to MSC for USB1 to work. Well you would think that they would know that has not been used on android run phone for years. I tried developer mode and setting debugging to on. and even tried different USB configurations in debugging. like Switching it to Audio Source. As soon as plug my phone in it kicks it back to MTP. This is a easy fix for Sony they have the MTP setting on the USB 2 wire. But we will see how long it takes them to do an update on this since they just did one last week. Very frustrating I have the AX5000 on my Harley. So it is not very convenient to mess with it.
Please do post if you find some kind of solution: As I am sure Sony will be awhile.
I had the same result with attempting to switch the USB mode. It switches back when the phone is plugged in. A firmware update may be our only hope.
Well not sure if I found a possible fix. I put my phone in developer mode. Then switched the USB to debugged. and used my original USB cord that came with the S8. For the limited time that I have been able to check it out it has worked. Keep in mind this is on a Motorcycle. So time to work on this is limited. The problem I have is that the original cord is 4' long and I have no where to tuck it in. I have tried several different short cords (amazon) and they all will work for a bit but AA stops randomly.
I still think it is funny When I talked to SONY they said that this radio would not work with my phone USB protocol. But I have talked to several people that say they have no problems with same phone & same radio.
Anyone know where to get a 1' USB cord that would be the same as stock Samsung S8 cord? Yes I check with US cellular. Phone carrier..
Thanks
Does anyone know if Sony has fixed this issue yet? This is really the only deck I want. The 2330 was another I was looking at but the screen is resistive.
Still an issue for me. No firmware update beyond 1.01 and no settings or application conflicts that I've found.

connection to AA should automatically set your USB to MIDI.
if it doesn't, try setting MIDI manually before connecting the cable (and double check it after connecting).
Yeah, tried that with my Galaxy S7 and it auto-switches it back.
I have it working using a Pixel 3 XL.
First, enable developer options
Settings > About phone > tap Build number 7 times
Go back to Settings, then System > Advanced > Developer Options > Default USB Configuration > Set to MIDI
I've managed to get Android Auto operational with my S10 and 2018 Civic. Initially I had trouble with it but some info on Google that suggested it was related to the USB connection mode and it was suggested to switch to developer mode, enable USB Debugging, and then USB Tethering as the default connection style. This worked initially but for whatever reason is does not remember the setting. Even if I select it as default. Every time I remove the phone from the USB or turn the car off and reconnect I am required to pull down the notification screen, select, USB options, and reselect USB tethering.
For whatever reason my selection of making the USB tethering the default connection type is not sticking. It's a pain in the butt to have to reset it every time I hook the phone up in my car.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Hey guys, I'm a new owner and have a question. Whenever I connect to USB, by device prompts for the device connection mode. I've tried setting the default in Developer Options, but there appears to be some duplication in there with "Default USB Configuration" (which seems to get ignored) and "Select USB configuration". I use Android Auto a lot and I find this annoying when I connect to my car. Anyone else noticed this?
this as always the case with the phones I've had, same as override force-dark mode (developer settings) resets after a reboot
My S21 Ultra when connect to PC via USB cable, it only shows "Charging ..", not pop-up noti ask about Data transfer. And i cant find "USB Option" in Settings. I guess thats the reason i cant use Android Auto anymore. My device updated to One UI 5.1. How to fix this problem guys?
I followed video on youtube about setting data transfer in Development option but it didnt work.
Change cable
