Ok guys, I got a Sensation a few days ago and also bought a new Pioneer Deck DEH8300UB.
I tried connecting the USB to the front of the deck to play music, it charges the phone but the deck says error trying to read the phone. Is their something I need to do to get this to work without having to use the 3.5mm jack on the phone and deck?
I also got a stereo on my boat that has the same inputs and its doing the same thing on that, Id like to only use one cord is possible.
Thanks so much guys, you are always a GREAT help!!
I dont think its possible to do it like that but there is something you can try. Plug your phone into the computer and select USB mode then check the "never ask again" box at the bottom of the screen. That will be your best chance of getting it working. Dont get your hopes up though because I do not think that will work, but its worth a shot.
i usually just use aux cable works GREAT! BUT my sister has a sony xplode deck and i do use the usb so it is possible but the usb on radio decks are tricky do either number 1 or step #2(works for me) on her deck when i plug the usb into it and the phone it automatically goes to usb source on radio, the trick is to plug it in and then swith ur radio deck off of usb and back...yeah weird but it works for me, usually the plug and play method doesnt work cuz the deck wont read usb first time around:
1. plug it in wait till phone shows option and choose usb(check never ask again...though it asks anyway again?!?)
2. if that didnt work, plug in usb on radio deck then switch it(source button?) off usb and back to usb then from phone choose usb connection and never ask again...this does the trick on my sis usb deck everytime...my hd2 did same thing dont know why(i much prefer the aux)
I've been using the Belkin Air Cast unit - nice thing is that audio is bluetooth, so I don't have to keep connecting the 3.5mm jack - just plug in the AirCast, push a button when I get in the car, and presto - music, even if the phone is in my pocket.
Beautifully simple, and even handles hands-free calling duties. Love it.

Thanks so much guys.
I will try what you guys suggested. Hopefully it will work, my main concern is making sure its charging while playing music so I don't kill the battery, that I know works which is awesome, so just need to work out the usb part, I guess if that don't work I will look into the BT jobby or just use the 2 wires and just neatly electrical tape the wires together so it doesn't look like a birds nest!
Again thanks so much.
When you plug it in does the phone give you some options to choose from? If yes you have to mount sd card as mass storage for it to be accessible.

I went to plug my Xoom into the HD speaker dock and it wasent picking up my music it would only play through the speakers on the tablet. So i took it to my PC and it doesnt even detect a device. Please Help!!
Did you try a different cable/USB port etc? I do not know anything about the dock but don't those things use the dock port/connecter on the xoom and not usb? Sounds like two issues to me. But again I don't poop about the dock.
Yeah it also uses the USB port that's how it plays the music but it just won't pick anything up and even on the computer it acts like there is nothing plugged in...yeah I tried different cables but the same thing happens

So, I just got an infuse today, and so far I am loving it. However, I've noticed that when I plug it into my Sync system, it isn't charging. I am able to charge my iPhone, iPods, kids usb mp3 player, and other devices.
Has anyone used the infuse with a sync system yet? If so, what model year car?
Currently trying to use it in a 2009 Focus SES, non-touchscreen version.
Charges fine with my 2010 Fusion Sync system, non touchscreen and USB via port in the storage area between my seat and front passenger.
Try a different USB cable? Do other devices charge with it in your car?

I have a 2010 hyundai sonata and I use the usb connector in the car to charge the phone and it works just fine here.
I am not sure what a sync system is though but the charging is fine.
OK, I figured out the charging thing. For some reason, I have to make sure that it is in USB Storage mode, which means I can't just plug it in and forget it. Not a huge deal, as long as I don't try to plug it in when I am driving (yes, I learned that the hard way and almost went off-road in a Focus).
So my next question is, where does everyone put their music that they want to use with the sync system? Does anyone even use Sync, or do they just play it over BT to the car?
I would rather it go through the USB, as having to turn the volume up or down can cause audio distortion, whereas USB is just reading the file across and no amplification is taking place beforehand.
What software do you use to sync your phone with Music? I've downloaded DoubleTwist and WinAmp, but DT locks up and WinAmp's interface still sucks... (Really, it still seems like it was designed in 1995).
I used Sync once with an iPod. That was before I got the Infuse.
I own a Subaru - I only encounter Sync on rentals, so there's a possibility I might be using it tomorrow. (Business trip)
I use Bluetooth whenever my car actually wants to pair with my phone. I can almost never have the connection established, picks it right up with my HD2, but not my Infuse.... o well. AUX is the way to go. Lol

Optimus-Prime: Actually, I'm reading quite a few people having issues with bluetooth and wifi on the Infuse. It's actually making me reconsider the phone and going with something else.
I have had to turn off BT, turn it back on, then force Sync to look for the phone in order to get it to work in the car the last couple of days. If it continues and an update isn't available in the next few days, I will take it back and get a different model.
Fords software might not suport the infuse yet. It works great with my wifes iphone. Check out syncmyride.com and select your car and it should tell you what phones have been tested

I wish google would come up with software like sync for vehicles. I love sync but its very buggy sometimes. It does not seem to support alot of new devices.

sync's Bluetooth implementation hated my Huawei S7.
And no joy on testing on my trip - got a Chrysler.
I just purchased a Samsung infuse and for the first time hooking up USB and selecting connect to PC didn't work (had other droids and they all worked fine). I don't have a problem connecting to my PC and.it failed with both stock FW and infused 2.0. my car is the Chevy cruze and just to confirm it's not the USB I hooked up my streak and it worked instantly. Any idea how to fix this?

Try this: Settings> applications> development> uncheck USB debugging.
I tried it with both debug on and off and was different cables and no luck. the phone detects the connection but the car does not

I am assuming you are taking about interfacing your infuse with your in car stereo system, correct? Not sure if you were maybe referring to simply charging.
I have had the same issue as you, my in car dvd system will recognize damn near anything I plug into it, besides my infuse. It won't even recognize it as a mass storage device. Haven't figured out a work around yet, perhaps someone will come along with a solution.

That's the exact problem important having. i tried my sister's evo and that worked instantly as well. frustrating as hell.

Yea, kinda sucks, pretty much the only thing my iphone 4 does better than this phone, I could listen to music, watch movies saved on the device and stream netflix to sol the screens in my car. Hopefully I can figure it out soon, its not a dealbreaker, but it would be nice.
Other than this issue, I absolutely love this phone, plus we have some awesome devs doing fantastic work

Samsung Infuse works in car when connected via USB
Hi Guys,
I also got Samsung Infuse recently, and i also had the same problem, mp3 player does not work when connected to car via USB.
Now i found a solution for that problem. Please follow the steps below,
Settings -- > Applicaitons --> USB Settings -- > Development -- Uncheck the Debugging Option
Now switch off your car stereo, connect your phone to the car via USB, and select
'Mass Storage' option when prompted.
Once it is connected, now switch on the car stereo, and it should play the music.
i tried the above steps and playing music in the car via USB.
my raptor FM modulator (the thingy that plugs into your cigarette lighter and plays music through your radio at a certain radio station) is not playing nice with my galaxy s3 with Cleanrom / SynergyROM
when I play...lets say....Pandora. I plug in the modulator...tune into the station, plug the aux cable into my galaxy s3..AND....I hear music!...for about .5 seconds. then it cuts off and plays through the speakers or just pauses. Sometimes I re-plug in the cable from the modulator and it works...sometimes it doesn't.
Now the strange thing is that..It works and plays through my radio fine when my S3 is at a low volume. [have to turn the car stereo to max to hear it] Too high of a volume (apparently slightly above half) and I hear a loud *bump* noise and the music stops. Is this a protection by samsung to cover their ass so no one blows their ears out? (since when I plug in the modulator..it reads it as a headset??)
It's not the modulator either. I had zero problems on my HTC Rezound running Newts One xXX Sense rom. This is only been happening on my S3. Is there anyway to avoid this problem?...it really does anger me when it doesn't want to play out of my car.
I have cleanrom on JB 4.1.2 with Ziggy kernel.

If I was in the same position, I would do a nandroid of my current setup so all my info is backed up and odin back to stock and try it from there. If on stock, it does the same thing, I would assume maybe its the aux cable or the phone. If it doesn't I would either assume its the rom or the kernel. I would then flash cleanrom with the stock kernel and try from there. If it works then its the kernel, if it doesn't most likely the rom.
Do you think it's the phone?.I'm pretty sure it did this on stock. What about the sound thing?
