So I made the mistake of purchasing a stereo head unit for my car that did not have an AUX port so I am trying to find a way to play music through my USB port to the external USB port on the stereo. When I plug my phone in it charges but won't be read by the stereo as a flash drive/external device. I use to have an application that I would have to turn on and off but after a while my phone decided it didn't like that app. Does anyone know a way to make it natively go into USB mode, no a debug mode but a mode that would allow it to have at least the SD card read

Hi all,
I'm thinking to buy an hifi amplifier (Denon M38) and I read that in that amplifier there is an USB port in order to connect the iPhone or iPod and the amplifier is able to browse and manage the iPhone library directly from its remote and disply.
Is there an app in order to connect our Andorid device via USB and simulate that there is an iPhone instead of an Android phone?
It will be usefull to connect the Android device on all the amplifiers tht support the iPhone....
Couldnt you just use a thumbdrive or set your phone in usb mode and browse them?

My car has the mini usb port and I bought the mini usb to USB adapter, took my micro usb cable and plugged it in. The stereo picked up as USB player but when I play music it wont work, it just plays through the speaker..
How can I get this to work and play through the car stereo?
Make sure USB debugging is off and storage mode is on when connected to usb

All my music is on my phone. I don't have an aux cable to plug into my car. I have a USB port in my car but when I plug it up, it doesn't read my SD. Anyone know of any apps that they have tried that have worked?

This might be more of a general android question but I just came from an iPhone 5. My car stereo has a USB port and when I plugged in the lightning cable, my spotify would output audio to the stereo. This is NOT mounting a storage drive and having the stereo read it, to clarify.
Is there a way I can do that on android? My car also has aux which I've been using in the meantime but I like controlling the music with the stereo's remote.

From experience I have with Android phones, no. Most car stereos do not have the proper drivers to read the Android phone and be able to output music. For example, in my Chrysler 300, the screen would say "USB Device Not Recognized" but it would still charge the phone, albeit very slowly. Bluetooth is your best option if your stereo comes equipped with it.
Have any one successfully tried to play music through usb?

Yes, it worked with a HiFimeDIY DAC.
Yes, I have tried it with a couple of devices and it works flawlessly (no FC nor "X service has stopped working"). I've got one of these usb sound cards and an otg cable with me all the time now.

Thanks for ur inputs. I have connected my MXPE to my car audio (place where i insert pendrive) via otg usb. But how to start playing the audio through my phone's usb? My car's music system doesnt detect any device. Sorry for bad english. I hope I am understandable.

Oh that's not going to work, the USB port only works with pen drive and and the car system read files saved on it. The only way to play music from your phone would be to use Bluetooth or Jack port if it has them.

You can try plugging the phone in (via otg) go into Settings -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration; (change to) Audio Source
*usual no responsibility disclaimer*
On my MXPE it will revert back to MTP on usb disconnect (which is annoying as hell if your otg/usb cable disconnects at the slightest movement)
If you end up getting it to work let us know how plz

With the OTG cable, you can give digital out to your DAC. I am playing with my Mojo Chord and it works fine with Onkyo HF player or USB Audio Player.
so an adapter from micro usb to audio 3.5 would actually work here?
