Hi,
Has anyone tried the SGS3 with an Alpine iDA-X305 car head unit. It supposedly supports MTP but I can't get mine to recognise my s3.
Thanks

I've tried with my Alpine iDA-X100, which is also meant to support mtp according to the manual, but it's not recognised.
Have tried a workaround to mount external sd card as mass storage (see post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27282116#post27282116) so it sees it as a usb drive, but no luck with that either unfortunately. I think the problem could be with the S3, as the iDA-X100 works ok with ext. sd card in my friend's HTC Desire connected in mass storage mode.
You don't want to use Bluetooth? I find playing the media from the phone far more flexible.

so i got a pioneer 5200 head unit today. it has a usb slot in the front, you can connect things to it and its suposta read them .. such as a ipod/iphone or any other phone with a sd card I WAS TOLD.
but i cant see to get it to work with my vibrant :-/ i know i had to put it in to debug mode to get it to work with my mac.. so i was not sure if i was missing something that i should of done.
any help? thanks.
Mount after plugging in?

you would need to mount the drives on the phoen as samuel said... but there could be another issue... When you mount two drives will showup (internal and SD), can the head unit process two drives?
Not ALL radios have the ability to read every phone. I have a new JVC KW-NX7000 Navi and it would not read crap from my Cliq, but would from my G1. Haven't tried it yet with the Vibrant. Try taking it out of debugging and see if that works.
Another thing to consider is that the head units often have size limitations for the partitions they can read.
It also might be getting confused with the internal storage and the sd card since I doubt it can read more than one drive at a time.
Same problem with the stock radio on my 09 civic si. I believe it to be because of the way the phone provides access to the storage cards (USB hub)

good call, i didnt think of the two drive thing.
checking there site it says
"Not every USB device is compatible with a Pioneer headunit containing an USB port. See more details at the following webpage: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/USBCompatibility. Pioneer headunits containing a USB port are compatible with USB MSC (Mass Storage Class) devices only, and are not compatible with DRM (Digital Rights Management) contents and MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) connection devices. For size and other limitations, please see Owner’s Manual. Unauthorized copying of music or other files is strictly prohibited. Optional USB extension cable is available for use with front USB ports."
how ever when going to the site they say its basically a blank page ha. ill try to take it out of debugging mode.. and if that does not work ill pop out the sd card.
i tried, taking out one of the sd cards, turning off debugging mode, changing it so i have to select if i want mass storage, or media mode.
and still i get nothing sad but oh well.. still got the aux port ha
I wish I had an aux port, fm transmitters suck ballz! I have to remove my antenna to not get static and even then, sometimes I do.

These things work great! http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-FM-MO..._3?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1284670423&sr=8-3
And the magic question is... CAN WE PUT OUR DEVICE IN USB MSC MODE? (Mass Storage Class)
I think it's one thing we really need. Almost every device is compatible with it, not with MTP!
You have to enable mass storage device and then mount it once you've plugged it into your receiver. Theres an app called Auto-mount that will do out for you automatically. It will only transfer music stored on your sd you will have to use the headphone jack for Pandora and Slacker.

I have the same problem with my Vibrant. I have an Alpine IXA-W404. When I plug in my phone via usb, it shows "searching" then "not supported" but on my head units screen it starts to show some random music files on my phone, but won't play them. I tried plugging in using two different wires, and tried with debugging on and off.
Any help? I even saw a video where the guy was doing it online with a similar setup, using a Droid and some other similar Alpine deck.
when i select "media player" from the usb settings on the phone, after about 20 seconds, the head unit starts to play a few songs but its very choppy. Any help is appreciated!
Also found this post that seems relevant, http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1283501
Hello. Just got my S2 a few days ago and I am still on stock F/W 2.6.35.7-19100BOK2
Now I an trying to connect the phone to my head unit (Pioneer AVH04100) via USB but no matter what I do the S2 will not mount the external Micro SD card.
I have gone into the phones settings and set up as Mass Storage but still no luck and I get the message " reading format" on my head unit but it stays like that for a few minutes then it will go to the S2's internal memory so I cant really browse any files as my Music is on the External Micro SD. Any help? Thanks
That maybe because your ICE is not compatible with android. It run on windows

MMmmm. Could be I suppose but why did it connect to the internal storage?
I just purchased a new car (a Buick Regal GS in case that matters) which has a usb input into the car entertainment center. Unfortunately, the car is not equipped with a2dp so I was hoping I would be able to plug my Atrix in via the usb and access my media that way. However, both my phone which is running jokersax's cm9 and my wife's which is running stock show up as "unsupported devices". I'm hoping someone out there has run into this and has a fix?
To follow up on this. I reformatted my external sd card and moved only 1 folder witih a few mp3s on it back to the card. I then plugged the card into my car using a microsd usb adapter and the card was read successfully. Moving the card back to my phone it was unsuccessful. I tried the multi mount app from the play store to mount only the external drive but was still unsuccessful. Obviously taking the sd card out each time I want to read it is not ideal. There must be a way to have the atrix present just the external sd card in the same manor as the usb adapter?
Totally guessing here, but when you plug it into the computer with SD card access via usb, it will mount both the internal and external SD cards. Perhaps trying to mount two volumes is throwing the car stereo for a loop. see if you can plug in the phone without the external SD card and get it to read. Also, just to verify since you didn't explicitly state it, you are using setting the phone to sd card access when you connect it to the car right?
Yes I'm using USB mass storage mode. And I've tried the other options as well just for fun. I did try without the external SD with no luck. I also tried to mount just the external card using the multi mount app with no luck. Appreciate the ideas.

Try to mount it from recovery?

Mounting USB in recovery does work... I hadn't thought of that. Not really a useable solution though as I need my phone on for calls/GPS/etc at the same time.

Then it is somewhat ROM-related. I mean the way the ROM handles USB mounts... it is different / worse than in Recovery. Try multiple ROMs, see if any works...

According to this Photon users are having issues as well. Though it may suck, I would just use the 3.5mm jack, which sounds like it is present, and use that for audio playback. Maybe try contacting Buick's support see if they have anything.
Thanks caster. I came across that thread on buickforums also. I have been using the 3.5mm jack which obviously works fine. But having the ability to charge and control the playback through the stereo controls would be a great "upgrade". A have to say for what is a very nice vehicle the built in media functionality is pretty horrid.
Digging more into why it works through recovery and not through regular usb mass storage mode in my phone... I noticed if i attach the phone to my windows machine i automatically see 2 unmounted drives appear. When i perform a usb mount through recovery the external sd card is mounted at the "first" of those 2 drive letters. If i then go and perform a mount from my phone (running jokersax cm9 5.1) the internal sd card is mounted on the first drive letter and the external sd card is mounted on the 2nd drive letter. Using the multi mount app and asking it to mount only the external drive that drive is still mounted in the 2nd position with the first being left unmounted. Is it possible that the order is significant and the car can't see past the internal card?
Success!
I decided to pursue this idea of the order of the mount points being significant. So, I decided to try switching the storage option in CM9 and reversing the purpose of my sdcards. I usually operate in use internal storage mode, but I switched cm9 to use the external card. I then copied all of the contents of the internal card to the external, formatted the internal sdcard, and moved back just one folder with a few mp3s. I then set up multimount to auto mount only card 1 (I'm not sure if this step is actually necessary), plugged in and and my car happily started playing my mp3s. Now if I can get my podcasts to sync automatically to the internal card and then resume from where it left off when I plug/unplug in the car... I'll maybe slightly forgive Buick for not including a2dp.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in and got my mind rolling in the right direction.
I have a new 2012 BMW 335i with the advanced bluetooth usb option and premium sound package. I do not have NAV.
My trouble is finding the music stored on the microSD card in the phone when plugged into the USB input for the BMW. I can have the phone "sync" to the car by putting it into PCSync mode but when I browse the file directory with the car I cannot find the music on the microSD card.
My friends iPhone 4S with the white apple cable works great. Music, album art, the whole enchilada .
Anybody have any ideas?
TIA

What happens when you connect the phone? Does the phone prompt you to enable the hard drive mode? If not I would try just pairing the phone via Bluetooth and see how it goes there. I don't have a BMW but I have a Genesis and everything works well with the Bluetooth pairing.
Try connecting the phone with USB debugging on (you can find it in the development options of the phone.)
Let us know more details of what is the reaction of the phone once you plug it in the car.
Also, is your music on the internal phone memory (/sdcard/ if fully stock and unmodified) or in your physical microsd card? That may have lot to do as well.

It pairs and plays via the bluetooth no problems.
The music is on the mircoSD card and not the internalHD.
I plug the phone in and it defaults to charge only. I pull down the top notification bar and change the setting to the External Hard drive... the car doesn't redognize that the phone is plugged into the USB port. I then change the setting to PCSync and then the car USB icon lights up and I can browse into the phone's directory. But the directory is not the one on the microSD it is the internal phoneHD
All the music file are located here...
/mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/music
according to ASTRO FM
my phone and card are all stock
try it as media sync
connected as a EXT HD and USB debugging selected I can find the music files on the microSD and play them just no album art. getting closer
Get a vishnu piggyback system and chip your car, do a bit of tuning and you will be having so much fun whipping around town in a 400hp beast that you would have forgotten about this little problem all together,

I'm all over them. The car is still a little too new and everyone has an iphone. XDA has been the gospel when it comes to phones.

hi!
I am trying to connect my SG3 to my Clarion NX602 through USB port, as I used to do with my old iPhones... I just got a message "no driver found".
At the bluetooth menu I also can't connect it as multimedia (audio bluetooth).
Does anybody knows if there is a incompatibility or is just a cable/config issue?
I am running on Omega V26.1 JB soft version.

You might need to try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
To set it to USB Mass Storage mode before connecting it. Make sure any music is on the SD card not the phone
Failing that, try a USB OTG cable and and then a USB-to-USB cable or something.
No idea about bluetooth, though, maybe try some apps?
