I have a 2013 with no navigation. My samsung is connected to make calls through bluetooth but it won't play music. Wondering if there is a way to either (1) play music through the USB connection or (2) play music through bluetooth. When I push the "aux" button on the dash display I only see 6 sirius xm stations listed so I'm not sure how connecting through the aux would work.

 

No BlueTooth audio streaming without nav (that was mean of them) but you should be able to play audio through the USB jack under the arm rest. Plug your phone in there, start it playing music, then try cycling through the "source" button on the steering wheel. It may say "iPod" because that's how old and out of date our InfoTainment systems are, but that should work.

 

You have to set phone to connect both phone and music under settings connections

 

OP, neither of these will work. Without nav your android phone has no way of playing music on a stock car. What I and a few other members have can be found here: https://www.myg37.com/forums/audio-v...ipped-car.html Once in a while I can't connect without restarting the car, but it was 100% worth what I paid for it. There are other options if you do some looking but it worked for me. Don't waste your time or money with the $20 options that say they'll work.

 

Thanks. I've tried both kinds of USB to Type C connections (2.0 and 3.1) and neither work. Do you think a USB to audio jack connection might work?

 

have you tried removing and readding the phone to connect as both phone and music source? Latest android at least the android 10 let's your phone have dual audio output to 2 sources so you need to make sure your phone is set to connect to your car as both sources

 

Under my bluetooth advanced settings there is a "dual audio" setting but because I don't have navigation the bluetooth connection isn't possible. I've messed around with other settings and tried the USB connection again but no dice. I'm stuck except to try a USB to audio jack device.

 

You could get a usb bluetooth adapter and connect through that. This is why I kept my old iPhone's to use as ipod

 

I just bought a 2013 G37 non-navigation which I'm faced with the same dilemma. Many satellite radio replacement devices such as the Grom Audio and others like USA SPEC BT45INFI, and SAT CAT exist to do the job. The issue for me is I have the XM subscription and I'm not willing to give that up for something aftermarket.

The only device I found that gives hope is this one: https://www.viseeousa.com/products/v...ant=3977406596

If we can find a replacement were in business.

 

I feel stupid to just realize the WMA1000 may work just as well. You'd just need a USB to iPod 30-pin cable which are found anywhere.

I'm going to try shooting the manufacturer an email. If I can't get a response I may just buy it off Amazon and return it if it doesn't work.

 

For what it's worth on my car with the USA Spec unit it alternates whether it goes into SAT or into USA Spec each time I press the AUX button.

 

I just got the WMA1000 and can confirm it does NOT work with my car.

One Amazon user has an older G that had the non-usb connection with the older proprietary input and has it working. I thought I'd give it a shot. Oh well, I'll return these items and get my refund and figure something else out.

 

Thanks for the info.

I'd like to look more into the NAXA device if possible.

I just looked in my arm rest and realized that I had one there all along. It stutters and lags, but it works. Just suggested an improvement I might try. into https://www.myg37.com/forums/audio-v...ml#post4266362
