is it possible to force usb connection to MTP mode? - General Questions and Answers

Device: Nexus 5x, Marshmallow, rooted.
When I first connected my phone to my car, I was able to use MTP mode. Then, I launched BMW Connected Drive app once, and my car started to be recognised as a USB accessory. Even if I use developer options to select the MTP config, it automatically switches back to a USB accessory. I am wondering if it is possible to force the USB connection to MTP, or stop my phone recognising my car as a USB accessory?
Thanks!

Help connecting Triumph to USB port in my car

I just got a 2010 Infiniti G37. It has a USB port, but no aux input and no Bluetooth audio streaming (wtf Infiniti?). It reads and plays iPods and iPhones just fine. I can not get it to recognize my android phone at all (Motorola triumph running stock 2.2 rooted). It will recognize flash drives though. I think the problem with the phone is it takes a few seconds to click 'connect USB storage' and then 'ok' before it reports itself as a mass storage device. By that time the car is already reporting an error. I have tried with debugging on and off... Makes no difference. So, is there any tweak, app, or hack I can do to force my phone into USB mode (without the prompts) every time I connect it?
This is actually a pretty important feature to me and I'm disappointed I can't get my phone and new car to play nice. Might even consider switching to an iPhone if there is no other option. Please help.
Thanks.
the MIUI rom im running has an option to auto mount when plugged in to a usb port. hope that helps

Asus Z380KL Cant switch to MTP

Hello first sorry for my bad english, second i just got an older Asus Z380KL (runing Android 6.0.1 latest update from Asus) and its working fine for the most part. I just cant connect it to my PC (Windows 7/10) using USB. When i plug it in to my PC in device manager i dont see any new device but the Tablet is charging.
The tablet is in charging mode and i cant switch it to MTP. In Setting>Storage there is no option to change the USB mode, i dont get any notification in the pull down bar, in Developer menu i enabled USB debuging and tested the option to switch the USB configuration but if i change to MTP,PTP or RNDIS it always says Charging. I know the USB connector on the tablet is OK just tested my OTG cable and connected a mouse and it was working. Also i used 5 diferent USB cables that work when i try whit my Phone. Also tested all my USB2 and USB3 ports on my PC and laptop.
If anyone can help i wold be very grateful
Edit: Just tried it on Ubuntu 16.04 Live and MTP is working fine, Tablet connects i get the popup in the status bat saying i can pick if i want charging, MTP or PTP but on Windows 7/10 i cant get it to work its always in charging mode and i cant change it.

Connecting to a Vehicle USB MTP

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.

Computer will not detect tablet!!!

When I plug in my Nvidia Shield K1 into my computer it only charges.....
My old K1 was recognised by my computer immediately before so I don't know why this one won't work?
Please note these things.
1. I have tried a different cable and connector
2. It was purchased second hand and bootloader is already unlocked with TWRP installed.
3. Have installed all necessary drivers on computer
4. Have put tablet into developers mode
5. Have selected MTP on developer options
6. Nothing shows up in device manager
Have you tried with another PC?
Any notification on the Shield, that it has been connected by USB? And if so, select MTP (selecting MTP in Developer's Options doesn't always work on some devices).
You tried other USB ports on the PC? You said you tried another cable and "connector", so maybe by "connector" you mean the USB port on the PC? Also, don't use a hub, connect directly to the USB port on the PC.
If none of this work, and never did on this 2nd hands device, you may have a damaged USB port on the Shield.
Try going to Developer options - Revoke USB debugging authorizations. That has worked for me in the past. I would doing it with the USB disconnected then reconnect.

Can't get usb debugging working

Phone is rooted and on android 10 and xxxnolimits installed
I connected phone to pc and only charging. Tried 3 different cables, including official one and 3 different USB ports and not showing on pc. I can hear noise it's connected to pc but then another noise to disconnect
Usb debugging is enabled and default usb configuration I can change to file transfer, usb tethering , midi, ptp & no data transfer. I changed it to each of them still not showing
There is no option to choose mtb from drop down notification no notification is there
I rebooted phone and pc and cleared cache. Also i app settings allowed notifications.
I'm at the end of my tether trying to figure out what issue is as was working previously.
Now all its doing is charging
Any suggestions

Do you have the latest fastboot-adb platform tools installed? Just a thought.

Also plugged phone into USB port of car for android auto and not picking it up
If I restore a backup would that be worth trying or does issue seems to be with usb port on phone?
