I've got a new car with a USB and an IPhone interface. Just connecting my Android phone to the USB interface resulted in a 'player not recognized' error message.
I can't find anything in the car/radio's manual. I could imagine I need to install a specific protocol driver so the radio recognizes my phone as a media player (MTP maybe?).
Can anyone recommend a way to set up my phone for the car radio?

Is there a way I can plug my phone into the computer via USB or bluetooth it to a USB bluetooth dongle and have the PC recongnize it as a keyboard/mouse??
I know there is software like PPC Tablet which allows you to do this; however, you have to install a server application and run it. I want to be able to connect to ANY PC without having to start an application (since I wont have a keyboard/mouse to login and start a program) or install any drivers.
It seems like this would be possible by running an application on the phone which makes the computer recongize it as a keyboard and emulates a keyboard and sends the corresponding keystrokes.
Anybody??
it has been asked here before and i don't recall we managed to find a solution for this without using a server application. sorry
Has anyone found a way to connect their captivate or other android devices to their car through the usb port. I tried all the usb modes, including debugging. I thought mass storage would work, since it can index other mass storage devices, but all I get are error messages. I could just connect it trough the 3.5 aux cord but it doesn't sound is good (limited to stereo) and cant control it trough steering wheel.
Mass storage mode requires a second step to manually mount the drives. If you don't do that, the drives won't be found.
You can also use Media Player mode (which doesn't require manually mount the drives). But this mode is very buggy in stock firmware. I often have to reboot the phone after use it.
The reason you have to mount/unmount the drive is to allow media scanning to run everytime the drives unmounted. The built-in Music and Video player has no other way to refresh its media library.
Yeah i'm having trouble with the USB port also. I use the AUX in for the TV screen in the truck and plug in my phone that way, it sounds much better then the 3.5mm jack.
I've tried to connect to my Win 7 x64 PC via Bluetooth without success.
The handset shows that it is paired as does the PC.
The Captivate rejects all Bluetooth attempts to connect to Kies (1.5.3.10093_81) or as a mass storage device according to the error message displayed in Windows. No reason is given for the rejection. There are no entries in the Windows event logs for this.
The Captivate connects to my car via Bluetooth automatically.
The Captivate connects to Kies via USB.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to connect to a PC via Bluetooth?
Mine wouldnt pair to my PC until I unplugged my bluetooth dongle and plugged into a different USB port. After that, pairing was smooth and everything works. I doubt this is helpful but I figured I would share.
Also, I was connecting natively to Win7, not through Kies. Maybe it's just a Kies problem.
I tried it both ways, natively and through Kies.
Bluetooth is built into my PC and workss well for other devices.
OK, not technically a question about android, I'm just trying to connect an android compatible device to a PC via bluetooth.
I have an ipega 9021 controller for android (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41O1ixqkGGL._SY300_.jpg), and was wondering if it's possible connecting it to PC properly.
I can connect the controller, but it doesn't reconnect automatically, so I have to delete the device and re-connect it every time.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I set it to gamepad mode (X + home), search for devices on PC, when the device is discovered, I got to properties and check the "drivers for keyboard, mice, etc (hid) and only then connect (otherwise I get an error). The controller then works great, but upon disconnecting I have to do the process again.
I've always had issues connecting to vehicles with my Sony Z5 via USB.
I connect the cable I get the prompt and I select Transfer Files. MTP.
The phone will kick into MTP for less then a sec but as the vehicle is trying to establish the connection the Phone will kick back to Charge Only and the prompt comes up to select the USB connected mode again.
If the Phone is trying to use a APP with that connection to the vehicle that app will crash since the connection is no longer established.
I have tried different combinations of settings in the Developers Options like Select USB Config. USB debug on and off. And nothing seams to work.
Is anyone out there having any success using the USB in their vehicle to connect to their stereo and not just for charging.
Also I did check with the Vehicle and it does communicate over MTP. I was able to get this to with with a old Samsung Galaxy S4 with my Jaguar F-Pace.
