    Hi all.
    I have searched forums and not really gotten an answer to :
    why dont my opo work together with my car stereo like my iphone 5s did ?
    When I hooked up my Iphone via usb to the car stereo I could control music ( audiobook) via car stereo controls.

    But my opo jyst says read error and only lets me use aux input and need to manage music on the phone not stereo controls.

    I seam to have read that android 4.1 supported this option but has been left out in later versions. ?

    any thoughts ?

    bluetooth or aux means that you are using onboard sound processing. i am assuming op wants usb out so he can use an external DAC or his car stero dac instead of the phone dac

    2 of the cars that I've used USB inputs in only recognize "iPod" format (whatever that is) and USB memory sticks. You would have to spoof one of these formats to get your deck to read the music files on the android device. (Camera protocol maybe?)

    The ability to simply plug your phone into a car stereo via USB is one area where iOS devices still have an advantage over Android (as well as BlackBerry and Windows Phone) devices, even after the great Lightning connector scare of 2012.
    read the rest here under "USB is no longer an option (sort of...)" down the page a bit

    I usually use bluetooth to stream and control my music on my aftermarket unit, BT will also pipe game sounds to my unit. I will try to use the USB some time in the next few days though I am pretty sure you cannot play music out of the USB

    When using Bluetooth you can either control the music from the OPO, or from you car radio. The control you have from your car radio is limited to only going forward (or backwards) in the playlist and pausing / resuming playback. The playlist is on your preferred app on your OPO.
    For me that works perfect because the sound of my car radio is excellent (Renault Megane with Bose sound), but the audio controls are rubbish. This allows me to create one huge shuffle playlist on my OPO, play it on the car radio while being able to pause / skip tracks etc.

    Well .. I'm not so fortunate :)
    I do not have BlueTooth in my car ... but as the article mentioned a BT dongle to put in AUX port .... That will not allow you to manage audiofiles on the OPO

    the cheapest option IMO would be, is by using an FM transmitter.

    watching this thread along with some others, i wish OnePlus comes up with a way to play music from the phone via the USB cable. the quality of music is quite bad with any other method (Bluetooth / aux)

    Yes, you can choose to play Audible Audiobooks on your phone and connect it to your car strereo through Bluetooth. Another alternative solution is to convert the Audible AA/AAX files to a common MP3 file, then you can transfer the MP3 to your Car Stereo for playback. I used to get the TunesKit Audible Converter to help you done that, it takes only a few clicks.
