These phones can only have the media played thru the headphone jack but then there's no VR command support. These files are not supported by Uconnect and many other vehicle mfg car kits. Those older phones were able to be plugged into the USB connector and play the media that was stored on the phone.Īround late 2011, the phone MFG went away from supporting the "mass storage device" files to supporting the MTP (media transfer protocol) files. In the past (like prior to the last 2-3 years) our phones supported the folders to be used as a "mass storage device". Let me attempt to save you some research time: I'd like to have that functionality with a smart phone in a hardwired cradle. In my experience, Uconnect can handle detailed voice commands ("play artist xyz") to a USB media device, but not over bluetooth. If anyone is wondering, I greatly prefer having my music collection directly plugged into the USB Uconnect instead of bluetoothing.
Then I will decide if I can buy a hardwired USB cradle (proclip) for the phone to connect directly to the Uconnect module or not. I'm testing coworkers' and friends' phones to see which will work as a media device when connected through the Uconnect USB port (my Galaxy S3 is a no go, but I hope the iPhone 6/6+ works).
I've done more research and it seems questionable whether certain smart phones can be used as a media device directly connected to the Uconnect through the USB port, but thanks to xsdbs I now know without a doubt that the input into the Uconnect module is a mini-b connector and I greatly appreciate that insight! I haven't been able to put it to a test yet because I'm still in the research phase of this project, but that info will definitely be used!
