Samsung Galaxy S4 not recognized

Ludey · 07-10-2014, 06:46 PM

When I plug my device into the car via USB, it says basically it's not a supported device. Is there anything special I need to do to get this working? Does it ever work.

I'm updated to the latest version of Android and I have service through AT&T if that makes any difference.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

No android I ever tried worked, it can't distuingush from the type of mass storage.

I'm guessing you would like to play music off your phone.

Easiest way IMO is to get a standard BMW Y cable for Icrap.. then buy a bluetooth receiver. similar to this. http://www.amazon.ca/Ebest-Bluetooth...th+a2dp+iphone

and boo ya.. all audio from your phone. phone calls will work..

you can also download the android app 'bluetooth auto connect' so you don't need to manually connect every time.. works great

I took my 2012 335is to a BMW dealership today hoping to get help with the APPS service and my Samsung S4 phone. I was told at the service desk that a young man who was very knowledgeable would help me. After 30 minutes trying to connect my phone which was plugged into the center console, he said that he needed to check to see if my car could connect. I previously downloaded the BMW Connected APP to my phone but could not get it to work in the car. Nick, the young man went away to check on my phone and after 15 minutes came back and said only the 2014 BMW would connect with the Android phone.

I can get my phone to play music and Pandora using the blue tooth connection. I have a ipod that I normally play my music on. I recently upgraded my phone to the S4 for 2 years. If I had known I would have gotten an I Phone.
