2012 g37 sedan usb module problem

Anyways i plugged in my iphone 4s and the usb cable just flickers on and off. So i went on the diagnostic and it said error in the module. I am going to bring it to the dealer tm.

Smh so annoyed.

Did you try any other device in the USB port, reboot the iPhone 4s or reboot the head unit (car off/on)? Just curious

No. I was just curious if you had also tried some other devices to see if they will work. A USB thumb drive with some music/movies on it.

You shouldn't need to disconnect the battery. Do if you like. I would let the tech figure out whats wrong with it. That's why we have warranties.

This depends on the iPod you have.
I have an old 5.5 gen, 80GB iPod Video but I have recently settled on using a Sandisk 32GB Cruzer Fit simply because it uses virtually no space in my console

this pic reminds me I need to vacuum in there.

I have a Nano that works most of the time and the flash drive method is ideal but don't you use a lot of the ability to have album art as well as sort by album/artist etc?

^ Not sure if asking me?
With the USB flash you still have album art displayed on the car LCD.

Getting the folder structure right can be tricky though. The head unit reads the folders in the order they are created (stupid method) rather than alphabetically. There are free Windows OS utilities that will let you modify the created/modified date of a folder and subs but for me it's not worth it.

Fortunately I like all the music I have so I simply set it to play 'All Folders Random' and then once in a while when an artist/group I want to keep listening too comes on I change the setting to '1 folder repeat' or '1 folder random'. Obviously this doesn't meet everyone's requirements.

OP - sorry for being so OT
