I purchased this indash Pioneer unit for large screen display of nav info using Waze or Google maps. The phone function connects OK via USB, the bluetooth connects OK for music, but the Pioneer will not recognize the phone's nav input.
Two different brand phones owned by the radio shop crew connect flawlessly to the unit via USB. They have tried repeatedly to get the X829 LeMax2 running stock Android 6.0.1 to connect, without any sign of success.
Could it be the USB-C? The two other phones are the older style USB.
Anyone have a solution?

Hi!
Do you use Android Auto?
Do you enable the connection to your Pioneer?

Thanks for the info - I had not heard about Android Auto. I tried it, and it does not recognize my Pioneer unit. It is not listed either as an accepted or rejected car.
After some experimentation, I found that the problem apparently is in the USB-C. I had thought the phone was commecting via USB, but it was using BT. A. Auto will connect via BT but not by USB.
I tried with USB set for debug or not, for MTP or not, but nada all ways. The Pioneer will not connect via the USB-C. A thumb drive of music with the old style USB connects perfectly, so it is not a defective USB connection in the Pioneer but the C format. HELP!!!

I bought this car yesterday 01/04/12 and I noticed that it has a USB plug for my phone, so I connected my phone with my Jeep via USB and it does not recognize my phone. Just curious what I have to do to be able to connect the two. It would be pretty sweet because I can load up to 20 gb of storage on my cars hard drive and play music and view pictures and stuff.. so any help would be awesome.
Thank you!
Not likely that the Jeep will interface with your phone. USB ports in cars are generally for thumb drives that you put MP3 files on or for updating the Nav systems. Try calling a Jeep dealer for more info on what capabilities that USB port has.

Thank you, I'll just do it that way.
Might need to put the phone into USB storage mode - gotta tap on one of the notifications.
Can't help too much more - I haven't used USB mass storage mode in ages, being lazy I just adb push/pull.
Putting it in mass storage mode usually works. I haven't used it in a while either as I use bt now. But if you have an external card also the read time when you first plug it in could take a few min.

If it has a USB connection then mass storage should work for mp3's and some other music formats. It does in mine. If for some odd reason it doesn't you should check if it has bluetooth. You can then stream your music and/or do hands free calling

Well, I've got it connected via "UConnect". Does that also give me the ability to stream my music?

No. I also have an '08 Jeep GC with the Nav radio. In order to play music from the SG2 you will need to connect via AUX input. If you have the rear entertainment unit you can connect the SG2 to those inputs. (Of course you'll need a micro usb to RCA cable but you can get one custom made. Check the accessories thread as there is a member making them.) Else you'll need to connect the SG2 via the headphone jack to the 3.5" input on the radio. Another option is the Lockpick device for the NAV radio. You can google MyGIG Lockpick for more details.
Update: Here's the link to the thread for custom cable. Not sure if he's making anymore but you can check. I bought one and it works great.

My car stereo supports USB thumb drives and iPods. My understanding is that this would work with UMS mode on Android (I think). But with ICS, UMS is gone and replaced by MTP and PTP. Is it possible to still connect an ICS android phone to a car stereo via USB?
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and have tried using the "SGS3 Easy UMS" app to connect my phone with no luck. Is this on the right track? Has anyone else gotten this to work?
I've just switched over from an iPhone which worked great in the car for streaming music via USB and would like to do the same with my SGS3, but right now I can't seem to find a solution so I'm leaning towards returning it and going for the iPhone 5.
Anyone have any luck connecting an ICS android device to a car stereo via USB?
TIA!

Why don't you buy a 3.5 mm cable and connect it?

Unfortunately, this model stereo (Bose) does not have a 3.5mm input, it only has the USB input. The manual states that the USB input supports "various USB memory sticks, USB hard drives, and iPod players". I have been using it without issue with my iPhone 4 (both as a "USB drive" and to play streaming music via spotify and other streaming players). With the Android phone, with MTP, it doesn't look like a USB drive and therefore won't actually connect (I get a "check device" message).
Seems strange to me that with ICS, the OS is no longer compatible with any of these USB-enabled car stereos (and there seem to be only a handful of MTP-compatible head units out there). Since it apparently worked pre-ICS (I can't verify if that would work on my specific car stereo since my phone is ICS), it would seem that they could have at least had an option to enable UMS mode.
Still hoping for a solution...

I know how you feal i have a AVH-P3300T and it works GREAT with pandora and iPhone...(even an iPhone 2G) pandora detected the stereo as an accessory right away... but for what ever reason when i plug my HTC Sensation in it jsut reads it it as a disk drive..
there has to be some active driver letting the head unit and the device talk... If there was a way to capture that level of logging going on im sure there some people here that could reverse engineer this... and just make it so that its a service runnign in the back ground...
Either that... or soemoen figure out how to REPROGRAM a head unit from its stock image to an android image lol...
I bought a bluetooth dongle on Amazon (ORICO BTA 403, CSR8510 A10 chipset) and installed it on my Windows 7 x64 computer.
The dongle installs fine and works perfectly with all my older phones but not with my Xperia S running Android 4.1.2.
Basically, if I install the automatic windows driver, and pair with the phone, windows complains about no drivers for the device, and I can't do anything with it.
If I install the supplied software (CSR Harmony wireless software stack) I can pair and the Xperia S is installed properly, the various audio services work (I can stream music to PC using BT), but I still can't send or receive files, either from PC to Phone or from Phone to PC.
The connection times out after a second and gives me a connectivity error. It's like the phone refuses to connect to the PC, both when transferring and receiving.
I don't know if the phone is the problem, it seems to not work only when doing file transfers with PC, if I try to transfer files to other phones or to my mac (which has built in BT) it works fine.
Is there any way to fix this issue? Any way to troubleshoot this issue to tell if the problem comes from the phone or the dongle?
Searching with google I can't find any solution, I just get lost into a sea of bluetooth problems which have nothing to do with what I'm experiencing.
By the way, using Airdroid instead of BT is not a fix.

your problem is bare and I think you can try these two solutions out:
1- Restart your phone and check whether your problem has solved or not. 2- Restart your windows and also turn off your Antivirus and firewall and try again.

1.Its not a phone its Headphones. 2.Restart made no difference plus Antivirus/firewall not the cause, seems to be a driver problem when installing from windows update! Ta all the same.
The problem is ****ty drivers from the manufacturer. I installed Bluesoleil and it worked perfectly. Another solution is to use the Windows stack by manually installing drivers from the MS Windows Mobile Suite (or whatever it's called, I don't remember) but that only supports file transfer.
Hello folks.
I bought this phone 3weeks ago and I can't use it with my kenwood kmm u11 car audio. When I connect my phone via usb to car audio, files are being read but sound is coming from the phone instead of car's speakers. Also I have tried it with some other car audios and it did not worked. My phone has B370 build and I could not find a solution for this situation. Please help me if anyone has a solution.
It can't work as a USB mass storage device as the radio doesn't have the right protocols.
When you connect it to a windows PC, it install drivers. A radio can't do that.
Sound only through BT or 3,5"mm jack.

I have an LG G2 and it works with usb connection. What is the difference? Honor 7 and LG G2 have Android 5.0.2. I can't get the point.

USB works like any other mass storage device. Might be compatible or not. The the device that's accessing the files plays and handles the output.
The car radio could have a protocol to control through USB the android music player. Check if H7's music player is working. There's also a similar protocol for iOS.
Finally, there's only 5 ways of getting audio out from Android, to other than built-in speaker:
1- 3,5" jack audio out (headphones but works with anything)
2- MHL, for compatible devices, but audio is automatically routed
3- HDMI out, audio automatically routed.
4- Bluetooth, audio automatically routed.
5- Wi-Fi cast, audio automatically routed.
You can use USB as an audio output, but you have to fiddle with the OS. And I'm not sure if it's possible with all devices.
@blast4620 some devices have inbuilt Mass Storage mode, but Honor 7 just have MTP protocol and no Mass Storage protocol.
MTP protocol requires some drivers to be installed on the device to which you are connecting your phone, so it can't work on your Kenwood Player.
Whereas Mass Storage mode doesn't require any drivers to be installed, it's just like Plug & Play(A USB Pen-Drive). So, your LG phone must have a Mass Storage mode, but Honor 7 doesn't have it.
I hope this helps.
Bluetooth issue
My Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G does not connect automatically to my paired devices like car (most important), speaker, pc, headset. I always have to connect manually, entering the Bluetooth menu and select the device and connect it.
It has the latest global rom.
Tried to sent the issue to Xiaomi, added logs, but no response from them. Searched Internet, no solution.
Anyone has a solution?
Laptop no connection
I found a solution here to connect to laptop/pc with a USB-A port and it works but...
My Asus laptop doesn't have a USB-A port only 2 USB-C ports and I cannot connect the phone here. Updated all drivers etc. but no connection.
This is frustrating since I want to transfer music this way.
Any solution would be great.
Thx for the support
