Galaxy s6 not compatible with USB???
Hey everyone, just switched over from an iphone to a galaxy s6. When I hooked it up to listen to some music the stock headunit wasn't picking up anything. Is this because the galaxy is not compatible to the headunit to play music like my iphone did? Or is it because I was using spotify and need to get real music stored on the new phone. But, I was able to play pandora on my iphone through USB.
Anyone have a s6 and care to share with me any knowledge they have? I already hate the stock headunit but now this makes it even more sh*tty Edit: I revise my case, when I connect my Galaxy to the headunit using USB. I CANNOT hit the USB tab on the headunit.

It works fine for me but I have the 2014 HU in mines. Maybe needs an upgrade in the firmware if possible.

I don't have a Samsung, but I know verizon roms do some thing where they connect in installer disk mode before switching to media transfer protocol (MTP) mode. you can select it from the usb mode selector too. It's to grant driver support for PCs.
Have you ensured you are in MTP mode?

Android 5 AND have a cable that's data enabled (not all micro USB are made the same, to check use your cable on your PC, if the PC prompts you to select what to do with the phone then it has a data pin, if not it only is able to charge.. you'll find this in cheaper cables) then in the notifications area (get to here by pulling down from the top usually while the phone is unlocked) while plugged in you should see a notification that notes the USB mode.. you might see charging, installer, camera, mtp, or sometimes other things depending on the rom, for example USB debug or ADB interface.. but those are less likely. anyways, you want it on MTP mode generally for use with media devices. it should make it work LIKE a usb drive, and provide the SD partition for reading the the head unit. if you have local media then it should be in a folder named MUSIC. For playing apps over USB you would need supporting firmware on the head unit for that kind of communication. or iphone that may or may not exist.. idk.. for android the creation of android auto is adding in usb app support. IF all else fails, then I say for app media support from apps like Pandora and tunein you may have to use Bluetooth in which the phone is doing the processing to compile the audio stream and the head unit takes it and plays. I hope that helps.

With anything beyond Bluetooth 2.1, you shouldn't be losing quality as the transfer rate is equally quick as traditional USB 2.0. I don't understand the fuss with bluetooth, the stock head unit and speakers can't produce a sound with any greater clarity or range regardless of connection type. Y go through all this headache?
Local files on phone storage or sd card at a 128 to 256k or beyond sound perfect. Streaming services will never match the quality of your turntable at home with $300 needle and nice floor speakers lol... |

It ain't scion, you'll find it's the same with hyundai, jeep, lexus, audi, vw..... it's a function of apple's USB and software structure with less capacity for the greater complexities android USB connections are capable of. Try hooking your apple into a computer to use it as a flash drive and... oh wait nvm
