I have a 2015 Q40 without navigation. I was an iPhone guy but switched to the Samsung S10e last week. I tried connecting the Samsung to the car via the USB port and the car won't recognize it. There is no aux jack input that I am aware of in the car. Bluetooth in my model seems to only work for calls not other audio (podcasts, audiobooks, songs, etc.). The manual, while a bit vague, implies the car may only recognize Apple products (odd design choice).

Do I have any easy options to get the car to recognize the Samsung?

If there aren't easy fixes, what are my choices:

1. FM bluetooth transmitter
2. After market inputs (cost/options)
3. Get a new car

Thanks

 

Maybe look into the Grom unit Not to familiar with it but worth a google

 

you don't have Navigation, so you don't have Bluetooth audio.

USB only works with IOS devices.

cheap solution - buy a used iPod/iPhone to store music on and leave it in the center console, assuming you're not a "streamer".

i can't really recommend the GROM ... you can get the Tesla screen for $100 less. check the Facebook group for group buys/discounts.
