Hi all,

So recently I lost my Ipod which I used for my daily driving music player. I do not want to buy a new Ipod since I only use the Ipod to play in the car. So, I was wondering if there is a way to connect my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone to my car? I have the 2009 Infiniti G37 Coupe and have the Navi. Only ports I see are the Ipod connecting ports but no USB, unless I'm missing something.

Is there anyway to connect my Nexus to my car? My phone comes with the mini micro USB output to charge the phone. I've tried connecting through bluetooth but that only connects for my calls.

Please, can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance! Much appreciated!

You'll have to use an aux cable. No changing songs through your stereo though

Found this for my G and Razr. Just haven't purchased it yet.

I have a 2010. I stream music to my car using bluetooth. No need to physically connect my phone. Just hit play button on the navigation screen. I'm not sure if 2009 has bluetooth streaming, and if you do, try it out.

I have a '11 sedan w. Nav and can stream music from my GNex with no issue. Is there a setting in the Bluetooth pair menu to allow music? I don't recall changing a setting but initially setup up Bluetooth streaming with my Droid Inc. when I bought the car in Feb. '11. All I did was pair the GNex when I got it and everything instantly worked as expected.

Same here. I have the Gnex and an '11 with nav and stream bluetooth. I'd look into it before finding a cable.

...after your phone is connected use the DISC/AUX button and it should toggle through to "Bluetooth Audio"

I just got a Blackberry Bluetooth media streaming device that connects to the RCA input in the center console. The other option is to connect your phone using a 3.5mm to RCA cord.

Thanks everyone for your replies! It doesn't seem like the 2009 came with any bluetooth capabilities for audio. Just missed it by a year. I will try those cables you posted and see what happens from there.

Also, curious to see if they have that blackberry bluetooth thing you're talking about for the gnex...

^ That is the Blackberry Remote Bluetooth Gateway. The phone can connect to it via BT, then stream media using the A2DP protocol. It is freaking awesome. I haven't experienced any sound degradation and it (for the most part) works without any problems. It is a tad pricey, but if BT media streaming is what you want, then that is what you should get. FYI, you will need a mini-usb car charger to power the Blackberry device. It comes with its own 3.5mm to RCA cable.

I have a 2009 as well and I have been using an Anycom Fipo with my Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. It is absolutely fantastic. It connects to the iPod accessory cable, so it remains hidden and I experience no random dropouts or disconnects.

Here is a video I found to give you a better idea:

The only problem is that I don't think they are currently manufactured. I bought mine 2 years ago on eBay for $15. You may be able to find one, but you'll have to do some digging.

That's awesome! I'm using a 35mm jack to RCA right now
