  • Samsung Galaxy S8 and Audio Connection

    Hello,

    I recently went from an iPhone 6s to a Samsung Galaxy S8. My car is a 2013 pre-facelift with no bluetooth connection. It just has aux and USB as inputs. My iPhone used to work find with the USB however when I plug in the Samsung, it says "No supported data found. You can safely disconnect the device".

    Anyone know how to solve this (other than aux) or anyone has this before?

    Thanks
    Ross

        nothing wrong with the car or the phone, the car has an "iphone/ipod dock" via the usb which does not support other platforms like android/windows etc
        the usb on the prefacelift is only got apple devices or usb storage devices
        the aux can be used for everything else

        i went from and iphone to samsung aswel and it's one of the features i miss as i cant control my music off the steering controls

            The facelift from 2015 have android auto and Apple CarPlay I don’t know about earlier models though so go with what others say, you can get an android head unit which fits, i think several people have done just that on earlier models to solve the problem [emoji3]

              I disagree that it only supports Apple... A mate of mine got a pre facelift and uss the USB for music on his S8.. I use music on my facelift with an s8 aswell if I have to charge the phone at the same time as music..

                              I bought one for my Astra J before. Was spot on too!...few little niggly things. But soon sorted it out and tweaked it.. Was the M072 unit android 6.0
