There is an application that may work from No2chem, nueMassStorage, Search here and at ppcgeeks.com. I use this to connect my 6800 as a USB storage device. This means that the music must reside on the memory card, but that may be what you want anyway.

well i have a pioneer radio with an mp3 jack for ipods or any other mp3 player, i use this adapter from a mini usb jack(mogul) to head set jack and connect the mp3 wire to radio and the other end to the adapter, and it come out clear as day man

i think i might have the same head unit it might be because the phone itsnt reconized as a flash drive like the ipod and other cellphones......notice in windows you need active sync to add or remove files from the phone via usb so that could be the problem but with a headphone jack you play the sound from the device through the speakers therefor its not having to read data

I'm guessing at what you need here.
Is your music on the micro SD card? I assume it is.
Get a flash drive adapter and just plug you micro card it there to play the music. No need to run down the battery in the phone too anyway.

I have a Kenwood unit that searches and plays back. the file system on TF card flawlessly. I have a dcd rom on my phone. Under the connections menu, there is a usb to pc option. checked that to usb drive. allthough I remember it working as well when I had another rom and just plugging it in. Charges my phone as well. If I turn the display off though, it immediately shuts down play.

I listen to live radio from other cities on my mogul. I used the y adapter that came with the mogul. If you don't have one, you can buy one at radio shack or ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/mini-usb-Y-cabl...9QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101
I also have music and movies on 8gb micro card. If you want to hear talk radio from SF or NY, try my page that I created...http://rferreira1.googlepages.com/myradio
Your car stereo has to have an input to add the mogul to it...
Hope it helps...

I forgot to mention, I hook mine up through a usb in that is on my deck. Let us know if you have any luck. maybe a few more details as to what your cd player model is, does it recognize your phone at all? are you hooking in through usb or through an aux in port"headphone jack"?

I don't have a aux jack?
I have an after market cd player with no aux jack or usb connections. Is there any connectors similar to the ipod connector i have that tunes into my radio that i can use to connect my mogul to my stereo.
Or is there something that would connect to my ipod connector to my phone that i can use that anyone knows of.
thanks,
Steph

Good to see other people trying the same thing. I have a jvc deck and would love to just use the usb cable to plug into my USB slot for the radio. I figured I needed some other software since I got an error when I tried the other day. It would be great to stream xm via the phone to the car radio. Can't seem to dig info on NueMassStorage. Anyone have any other software?

Found the mogul to car stereo solution!!

[Q] Audio Through USB

I'm currently aching to be able to play my own music through my car speakers, weird place for this yes.. if it's the wrong section to post this please let me know.
But, I was wondering if it's at all possible to feed the phone's audio through the USB.
For example, I have a USB port on my stero in my car, and when I plug it in..i'm able to feed off my SD card to play the music thats on it. But.. I'd like to be able to play pandora as well..which I'm currently unable to do.
Was wondering if this is possible. If i've confused you feel free to ask more questions

Since it isn't possible.. what about an app that allows me to control the music played? I can stream music from the sd, but its got to mount to read therefore I don't have access to the stock music app. Only way to control what's played is the buttons on the stero and its pain staking..

I don't believe this is possible. As far as I know, when you use the usb the deck itself is decoding the mp3's (or whatever music files you're using) directly. It doesn't support playing music through the usb, it just uses the usb to get the files. I hope that makes sense...

So is that why I ca never plat music on my xbox whenever I have a phone hookedup to charge? I thought my xbox just didn't play nice with phones

So your car stereo has a USB input but no auxiliary? If so, your best bet would probably be to get an FM transmitter. Like the poster above said, your car's stereo is merely mounting your phone as a mass storage device and reading the mp3 files off the SD card and decoding and playing them locally.

It sees it as you do on the computer, just a drive. The only way to get what you want is to use a source from the phone that plays audio. Head phone jack or Blue Tooth. Your stereo... if it has USB should also have an AUX input or BT. Havn't come across to many that have USB and not an AUX or BT. Its nice though... having Pandora in the car.
If you tell me the Model of the Stereo I can help you out. I have seen a BT to FM Mod. Those are kinda cool. If your in a pinch with a stock stereo.

Makes sense. My stero does have an auxiliary port on it, but due to recent events I'm really short on cash lol, was wondering if there was a work around so I'm not limited to my sd for music.

Nope... The phone isn't even connecting to your stereo. When you put it into USB mode so it can read the SD, it unmounted from the phone. Its as if you pulled the SD out and slid it into a card reader. When you pull the plug... It will remount to the phone. You'll notice it scanning for media at the top.
Now when you go BT... You can control it via the stereo or phone, using the Aux you can control it by the phone. "They" could make the phone controllable via USB like an Iphone but they would have to built that into the stereo like they do the Iphones/Ipods. Not likely to happen unless the Galaxy S takes off like IPOD did.

In theory, a rooted Epic with proper kernel support and hacked cable (since they don't exist commercially) can repurpose the data pins on its USB port for left and right analog audio thanks to the Fairchild FSA9480 USB switching chip inside the phone (the same chip enables the USB pins to be repurposed as a serial port with nonstandard voltage levels, enables the normally-unused fifth pin to be used as mic input, enables it to be used with a special "JIG" interface for JTAG reflashing without having to hand-solder anything to the microscopic internal pads, and apparently can also work its magic in conjunction with a chip by Silicon Imaging to use 5 pins to output a signal that can be transformed by a companion chip (embedded in the cable's connector shell) into valid HDCP-compliant HDMI. I'm pretty sure the 9480 can also repurpose the two data pins for external I2C, but don't quote me on it.
Check out the I9000 boards... they're about 2 months ahead of us. If you google for FSA9480, you can find a brief (but revealing) dialogue between a Samsung engineer and the Kernel.org folks regarding a kernel addition to support the chip. He had a few issues, because on one hand he's apparently not allowed to say much about how the chip works or what it does, but the kernel folks managed to wring much of it out of him one juicy detail at a time. If you check Fairchild's site, they don't even acknowledge that the chip EXISTS, but it's been photographed inside all the Galaxy S phones in various teardowns.
In English -- yes, the hardware exists today to connect your phone to a stereo's analog inputs via a cable that repurposes the USB port... but the official software to make it work from Samsung and Sprint doesn't exist, and the information needed to make it work ourselves on a rooted Epic with AOSP isn't quite available yet.
I'm personally quite happy about the uart, because that means we DO have an easy, low-ceremony way to do i/o between something like a gamepad built into a hardcase a-la-iphone-GameBone that doesn't require Bluetooth (note that if something IS using the USB port for UART purposes, the USB port is still active, but the phone sees it as having nothing connected because the signals from the D+ and D- pins are physically re-routed by the 9480 to the CPU's UART pins. Think of the 9480 as being like an old-fashioned telephone panel with cables that can be moved around to connect the USB port's 5 physical pins to different pins inside the phone.
I'm now pretty sure that this is why there are exactly 7 contacts on the microUSB connector inside the phone -- 5 are used to get the pre-HDMI signals out of the phone, and the other 2 (3, if you count the ground/anchor tabs and assume they carry a signal as well in addition to mechanically anchoring it in place) are used to supply +5v and ground, and possibly one wire for half-duplex signaling purposes.

Wow that was a lot of info... lol. I didn't know that about the usb tho. That's good to know. I was thinking of taking it apart to see.
But... I think he's wanting a UI via the USB like the way some players will do for the IPODs, not analog. To go throught all that when the Head Phone jack will do the same... I could only see that if it was broken or if you really really want only one cord to the phone.

I've got an Alpine unit, I hook my USB up - turn on the TUNER. Mount the Drive and once the phone is done - swap back over to USB and i can get all my MP3S. sadly I get all of my ringtones too - odd when the radio is full blast and a track changes - none the less works well for me. Try it.

I purchased this Kensington LiquidAUX Bluetooth Car Kit for my phone a few days ago. It works perfectly on my sister's iPod touch (no AVRCP [silly apple]) and an old WinMo 6.1 phone.
I just got my Epic in the mail today so I'll be testing it out soon.

WTF. AVRCP (bluetooth remote control) is really buggy with this phone. I used the LiquidAUX with an old Omnia for a week with no problems. The Epic connects and plays audio just fine. I can also pause and play music but the forward and back buttons don't work. When I first pair the phone with the device everything is fine, but after disconnecting and reconnecting the remote control stops working. I got it to work after un-paring and re-pairing but it only worked once.
The Moment I had before this had really choppy audio.
EDIT: I had the phone opened up in DDMS and the phone is receiving signals from the remote. But it only reacts to them when the media player is on the screen. Weird.

[Q] How to connect to car audio system via USB?

I wanted to know how to connect via USB to my cars audio system.
I used this tutorial: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010/11/18/use-your-windows-phone-7-device-as-a-portable-usb-drive/
I can now store and retrieve picture files from the phone but I still cannot play music files on my cars audio system. It seems as if the phone turns off this feature when my cars head unit tries to communicate with it via USB.
I also cannot connect via bluetooth.
I have read that some folks have been successful in implementing this feat. I really dont want to use the headphone jack because I cannot control the phones audio via my head unit. I guess I am looking to set it up legacy style like my previous phones eg iphone, nexus one, milestone etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The portable USB 'trick' doesn't make the device a USB Mass Storage device. It's a client-side registry modification that only makes the device viewable in windows explorer (legacy mode). It's still running its communications over the proprietary MTPz zune-sync protocol. This is why after running the registry modification, you can't just plug your WP7 into another computer and have it pop up, and also why it requires the Zune software to be installed, and to sync up first for it to work.
This is also why it won't/can't work with your USB capable audio system. It has absolutely no ability to do Zune protocol sync (as far as I'm aware, Kenwood made a head unit that could, but I don't know if it works with WP7. I'd doubt it), and despite the misreporting of various sites, your WP7 is not magically now a mass storage device.
Bluetooth may or may not work. I don't know about A2DP support on either your car's head unit, or WP7, and it may be specific to the device/manufacturer as to whether this is present (I have no idea). If bluetooth doesn't work, you're pretty much **** out of luck.
Headphone jack is your best (only) option. I can't recall if the supplied headphone cable has inline media controls. If so, you could probably macguyver that into a line-in cable for your stereo and use the media controls on that. Ghetto, but workable.

wow, that really sucks.. I am liking this phone less and less...

Sat Nav In Car

Just moving away from an iPhone and getting used to the way the DHD works. Much better!
There are a few issues I am having though.
I have a JVC head unit in my car, which I plug the phone into (USB). What I want to be able to do is have it charge, use the sat nav and also play my music.
When I plug it in and choose 'charge only' it cant find the music. So, I choose 'disk drive". The music then works, but the sat nav doesnt. It says that the SD card is not installed.
Any ideas?

When you connect the DHD as a USB "Disk Drive", the phone actually unmounts (ejects) the SD from your device, so that the external device can read it as a flash drive. Technically, when you are on DiskDrive mode, your phone has no SD.
EDIT: Forgot to say that most (if not all) SatNav programs keep their files on the external SD
If you try installing the SatNav software on the DHD internal memory (have never tried it, it really depends if the software allows you to do that), and not the SD, it might work.
The last choice you got is the USB "HTC Sync" mode, in which case, although the DHD does not eject the SD, your JVC stands absolutely no chance in reading the specific format output from the USB (requires PC with proper HTC software).

Thanks.
Surely thats a severe limitation? I want to be able to plug my DHD into the car stereo so I can listen to music, get sat nav and charge. Surely thats not too much of an ask, and something all my previous phones have been able to do.

I have USB input on my car stereo too. I've never been able to mount the microSD card within the phone OS (WinMob or Android) and also play music through the stereo; Your phone either treats the card as USB mass storage for your stereo, or for your phone, not both.
I only ever use Google Navigation on my Desire HD, and I have a 16GB USB stick for music. It only leaves my car if I want to change the tracks on it. Maybe one of those solutions will be best for you.

Navitel working great?

The only option of listening to music from the SD card and using navigation software that holds the maps, voices, etc. on the SD card (I think most if not all of them are made that way) is to use the AUX input of your car stereo and play the music with the phone's music player (the quality of the AUX input is not so good on my Sony). That way you'll have your navigation voices also through the stereo, but there was a thread somewhere that in order to play the voices the software pauses the music. Haven't tried it though, so I can't comment if it's true for all the navi softwares.

You can try Dual Mount SD from the Market, but it requires root in order to work. When you install it you can use your sd card in the phone and through usb at the same time. There is no solution without root.

Thanks for that. Tried it and it kind of works.
Its a bit odd though as the DHD doesnt know what songs are being played - if that makes sense. Its just passing through via USB. If you set up its own music player to do something, it plays that via bluetooth. Kind of cool in a way, but just means you can only control whats being played via the car stereo.
Thanks again, much better than it was.

[Q] USB Dock Audio

I am sorry if this was already answered but I have been searching both the forums here at XDA and on Google and I cannot find my answer. Am I the only one that is wondering about USB Dock Audio? I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy SIII and with the car dock, you simply plugged it in and it would charge and play any audio through my car speakers. I cannot seem to get this work on the LG G2. I have the official car dock from Verizon (Of course it doesn't come with any charging cables or anything) and I am trying to use the microUSB media cable. Any help?

MPT mode for stored music. There is no mode for live playing audio through usb, that's what aux is for. Sometimes takes a few connects to read with no error. Beginning to think debugging is fooling around with it, to lazy to troubleshoot.

I unfortunately do not store music locally (Google Play Music). I have read online that they down sample the audio through USB:
http://www.whathifi.com/news/lg-confirms-details-of-hi-res-audio-playback-on-g2-phone
Also, if there was no support for audio through USB, how would this work:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/lg-g2-media-charging-dock/
I am so confused by this...
EDIT: Unless the dock doesn't have a speaker like my XOOM dock:
http://smartphonepedia.com/motorola-xoom-speaker-dock.html

1. The necessary software for connections isn't available unless the file is locale. There is no usb live feed.
2. Phone speaker or aux. No speaker. More for alarm, desk clock, and charging.

No, it's not, and that's quite an ignorant answer.
OP, you might be interesting in checking out the GROM-AND2 or GROM-USB2P adapters:
http://www.gromaudio.com/

He was looking for a native way to do so, and there Isn't. If you know how without third party software or hardware please explain. I would appreciate it myself. The music streaming oh that looks for Bluetooth. Otherwise reads phone as drive, which most head units are pre equipped to do.
