I have a 2012 g37 sedan without the navigation and I can’t play any music from my phone. I’m stuck with the radio. Has anyone figured out a way to add bluetooth audio streaming or at least an aux input? I love this car but it’s a shame they didn’t add an aux input. Smh.

 

I am not an expert in this field But if you find the solution, I am interested

Yo rayan read this. I’ve been trying to enlighten the g37 non nav community about this issue. I read about this trick on the forums here and it actually works. Just read it. It works and requires no money. After getting my 2012 g37 sedan I was so pissed because it doesn’t have the nav package so I wasn’t able to play music from my phone because of the aux situation. Well that’s what I thought. There’s actually a super easy work around that literally saved my life. With the music box feature you can’t stream music but it will play preloaded music from like an iPod or a USB drive. So just go into the default music app on your phone and make sure you have at least one song preloaded on your phone and plug it in. At this point the system will start to read the preloaded song file and sync with your phone. Once that song is playing go into Spotify or YouTube or any streaming service and play a song from there. Audio won’t work at first but don’t worry. All you gotta do is once you press play in Spotify unplug your phone, the song will pause, then press play again and then plug your phone back in. It’s important that you press play before you plug the phone back in. Then it will say reading file and start to play your song. Then from that point you can play any audio from your phone even your GPS audio or YouTube literally whatever you want. It works perfect every time for me and this made me so happy. I do have an iPhone but I’m sure it would work the same with any other phone.

 

So do you have a Apple Music subscription for this? Because isn’t the only way to load a song through Apple Music is if you have a subscription with them?

 

The goal is to trick the car into seeing your phone as a readable audio source to play through the usb jack. We need to do this when playing music from iTunes over that wire (mp3s physically on the phone or iPad). We start the app playing music then plug it in. Sometimes unplug, hit play, replug... eventually the car sees the phone as an old school iPod and plays the audio.

Levi4689 doesn't mention Apple Music but is talking Spotify or YouTube streaming audio. His method may work with whatever app can play audio. But he suggests that the first thing you need to do is play one song on the phone's generic player - now just called "Music" on the iPhone - and that may need to be an actual downloaded mp3. Once the car recognizes it and begins playing that audio he's saying you should be able to switch to another app and continue to play music. I haven't tried that...
