I’m having problems being not able to stream music from my iPhone to my car when it’s connected with a USB cable.
I have a 12 year old car and I want to use USB port for streaming music via Apple Music/Spotify, however when the car is on “IPod” mode, it can’t read the files. It has multiple modes for streaming music through infoteinment but “IPod” is the correct mode for this use case. And even though both Apple Music and Spotify recognize the wired connection and tries to stream music over the wired connection (lightning to USB A cable); the car recognizes this connection but says: “No supported files”. So music track just plays but there is no sound.
so my question is, how can I make it so that Apple Music or Spotify streams music in IPod file format?
note: this “IPod” mode in the infoteinment screen works with older iPhone like IPhone 6-7-8. They can/could stream.
