EMPTY USB in car

HELP! I just got a BRAND NEW 6th gen touch screen iPod Nano last night, and when I plugged it in to my 2009 Hyundai Sonata, it simply said "EMPTY USB". I know my husband's older iPod Nano worked just fine in my car. Listening to my music in the car is one of the MAIN reasons I wanted a Nano. I'll simply return it if I can't get this resolved... Anyone have a similar problem that could be resolved??

Contact the car dealership.  You have to ask them if the 6th gen iPod Nano is compatible w/their equipment and/or if you need to purchase special cables, etc.

  • Ipod not working in car. EMPTY USB

    A relative gave me his ipod and the first thing I did was to plug it in my car (sonata 2009) on my way back home. Everything was ok and I could listen to the music that was on it at the time. When I came home, I downladed i-tunes, I formated the ipod and I have put all of my music in it. It's working well when I listen to it normally but now, when I plug it in my car it says "EMPTY USB" like if there was nothing in the ipod. I'm not sure what to do, I doubt that the car has a problem since it's working with my girlfriend device (not a ipod) and that it was working fine the day my mother gave it to me.

  • Iphone 4 won't play via USB in car after ios7 upgrade

    Music will not play via USB or Bluetooth. I own 2013 Toyota Corolla. When I plug via USB my car audio display lets me select folders and music through browse but when I select a song I get an error on the car audio display that says "read manual or contact dealership for information on how to connect". This did not happen prior to ios 7 update on my iPhone 4. Anyone else experiencing this and is there a solution or setting that I am missing?

    Hi I have a 2012 Volvo V50 with premium audio. USB audio via 4S worked fine until the IOS 7 upgrade. Now i keep getting the "this accessory is not supported message"
    I have read through this forum and the only thing apple suggests is "update your car oudio system"
    This is total BS!  Ever heard of backward compatibility? Get this fixed or Android is next for me! Apples resoponse so far shows absolute arrogance.
    I am not the only one and a simple search shows thousands of people having the same issues. Asked my car dealer already and they have loads of people with the same issues. Only devices with issues are Iphones and Ipods since the IOS 7 upgrade. Reset as suggested does not work.

  • Photosmart 7520 reports empty USB thumb drive is full

    Every time I attempt to perform a scan to USB drive on my Photosmart 7520, it reports a failure because "the USB drive is full." This is despite freshly formatting it to FAT32 and verifying the drive is empty.

    Hi erikjwaxx,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your HP Photosmart 7520 reports the empty USB thumb drive is full. I am happy to help you with this issue! I have a few questions for you:
    What size is the USB thumb drive?
    Have you tried another USB thumb drive?
    Is the printer power cable plugged directly into the wall outlet or surge protector? Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Hope to hear from you, and have a great day!

  • My ipod touch 5th gen has no sound through usb hookup-car

    I Have a kenwood ddx 370 touch screen HU installed in my car, and i can'y get sound from my speakers when its in ipod mode, and the wires are plugged in to the HU. I used to own a iphone 4, and a iphone 4s that both worked. now this issue is strange with not getting sound, as everything else works.
    it charges, it is recognized by the HU, displays all the album art song etc, but just not hearing the sound.
    my radio, xm radio cd and all that work fine. its strange how the phone does everything on the radio but have sound coming out of speakers. when i just use the aux cable i get the sound, but none from usb/ipod option. anyone familiar with this, and how to fix this?
    i just got the ipod touch no even a week ago either, and it was brand new.

    Does Kenwood say it will work with a 5G iPod (or iiPhone 5)?

  • After upgrading to ios7.1 iphone won't play via USB in car.  Why?

  • Ipod nano pauses connected to USB in car

    My iPod Nano just started pausing every time I connect to the USB Connection in my car.  Works fine when not connected.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Hi aj,
    Niel's hit on it with the posted article, but I must ask the obvious question: Why start it up with the nano connected at all? Do you have problems connecting after you boot up?

  • USB in car doesn't recognize my iPod

    I recently changed y car, and the new one has a USB port so you can listen to music, but when I connect my iPod via USB it says that the device is not supported, do I need an extra adapter? Do I need to install something to my iPod? or what can I do?

    Does the car' stereo actually support playing the iPod from its Dock Connector to the USB pins? Check with the car's manufacturer, or an In-Car-audio specialist.
    My car, which is a four year old Mazda 3, has connections on the back of its stereo for connecting external devices, but for it to see an iPod, it needs an adaptor. I purchased a Dension adaptor. However, each car and each year of the same car can be different to one another, so that's why I recommended that you try the car's manufacturer, or an In-Car-audio specialist.

  • USB in car audio

    I have a 2010 Hyundai Sonata, and an IPhone 4. I am unable to use the music on the iPhone through the USB port in the car. Does anyone have suggestions or know where I can find a solution?
    Thanks

    I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata and am in the same boat. I can control my music from the iPhone itself and get it working that way, but my in-car controls don't work at all.
    I have been reading about this in other areas and some have suggested to wait until Bluetooth connects and then try, but that has not worked for me either.

  • How to use iPod mini USB in car - manage playing

    I am getting reacqauinted with my iPod mini and see that I can play it in my car using the USB port, but can't seem to access the controls...it just displays do not disconnect. I turned the car off before I disconnected the iPod. Will appreciate any feedback here!

    Yes I have the same question too. When I plug my fairly new160 gig ipod classic into the USB port of my new car, all the ipod screen info defaults over to the car's screen and you have to navigate what you want from the touch screen in the car. Fine no problem. But when I try to do the exact same thing using either of my old ipod minis (which otherwise work just fine with headsets) I get an error message which basically says. this is not going to work. WHy is that? ...Anyone?

  • Static when playing music via USB in car stereo after updating to OS4.1

    Greetings everyone.
    After updating my iPod Touch (3rd Gen) to OS4.1 I am experiencing static, scratching like or popping sounds when I am playing music in my car using the USB port. I do not get these noises when I am listening with a set of earbuds, only when in the car and connected via USB. I haven't yet tried bluetooth connection but will give it a shot tomorrow. Has anyone else experienced this?
    If any one from Apple is following this thread please give me some advice how to correct this problem. I suppose if I have too and bluetooth connection gives me the same trouble I will need to restore my iPod. Is it possible to go back in OS? I was using OS 4.0.2 prior without any problems.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Dave this is what i went thru this past week with Apple Tech
    Ipod problem
    Aug 19 2010 Purchased New IPOD McDill AFB
    Sep 15th 2010 Upgraded IPOD software from 3.1.3 to 4.1
    On Sep 16 2010,
    I notice that I tunes was skipping in my car using the USB connector. When I use the Audio output jack on the IPod the ITunes music did not skip. I hooked up a NANO to the USB connector in my car and the music played good no skips.
    Sep 17 2010
    I notified Apple Care and told them of the problem and they concluded it was an IPOD Problem. They issued a repair number (177988440) and notified Apple Distributer in Brandon, FL ( 50 miles from my home) to allow me to exchange the
    IPOD for a newer one Ser# 9E0344816K2.
    When I connected the new IPod to My Mac I was prompted to upgrade the IPOD software from 3.1.3 to 4.1. However, before I upgraded I notified the Apple Technician (Ms. Daylin Dat # 877-416-4271 Ex 2845) of the replacement and I asked if it was feasible to upgrade the IPOD to 4.1 since I believed the new up grade caused the problem.
    Daylin, said to go ahead and up grade the IPOD to the 4.1 version.
    When I completed the up grade I connected the IPOD to my car’s USB connection and the same problem occurred in the new IPOD.
    I took the new IPOD to Gettle Toyotta in Bradenton and asked if I could use one of their cars that has a USB connection and test out my IPOD and sure enough I had the same problem with the ITunes music (It was skipping).
    I notified Apple Technician again and they said go back up to the Brandon Apple distributor and get a replacement for this IPOD. I said no because it was a 100 mile round trip so they said were going to mail me a replacement.
    I returned the IPOD to Apple they did all kinds of in house test and said there was no problem wit it so they sent it back to me. So now i'm stuck with a IPOD that i cannot use with the USB connection in my auto
    Note I went on Toyota Prius forum site and there was a lot of discussion with the IPOD 3rd generation with IOS 4.1
    A lot of people are have this problem
    I notified Apple Tech and sent them a link to the Prius Form site.
    So that where it stands right now.
    By the way I hooked up the IPOD to a brand new Honda USB port and it worked great so the issue is with the IPOD IOS 4.1 and Toyota autos.

  • Ipod USB in car

    USB connection in the car gives message, device without function, when I plug new ipod touch
    in. The car is a VW passat. Is there a setting I need to find?

    Does the manufacture say it will work with your model iPod touch and iOS? An iPod touch does not work with all cars systems.

  • No sound when streaming audio through USB to car stereo *solved*

    Short version: Many months ago my wife and I had iPhone 4s with AT&T and my phone would playing streaming apps (Pandora, Slacker) over USB to my Pioneer head unit and my Ford SYNC while my wife's would not. There was no error given, it appeared to be playing fine-- there would just be no sound.
    Fast forward to present and I have a Verizon iPhone 4 and I am getting the same issues as my wife was having previously.
    After much forum reading about iOS4 breaking this functionality for many people across the globe with many makes and models of stereos and cars I realized I was not getting the same error as all of these people. I was getting NO error at all; I just wasn't getting any sound out of these apps.
    I read a post about how a random song would kick on when they connected their phone to the car, then it hit me. My old iPhone used to do that. Then THIS hit me. I do not have any mp3s synced to this phone. Nor did my wife back then.  So I threw a handful of songs onto my iPhone and sure enough it immediately chose a song at random, started playing it and then I switched to Slacker radio and it faded down the iPod song and started streaming the audio from Slacker.
    tl;dr version: If streaming apps are not playing any sound through your USB cable. Make sure you have some songs synced to your iPhone.

    I found a solution, reset all settings.  Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    Fixed the problem, now back to properly streaming music!

  • Can't charge Lumia 920 via usb in car

    I can't charge my Lumia 920 via usb in the car. There is nothing wrong with the cable, and I've also tried several other cables. There is nothing wrong with the car either, because it works fine on my boyfriends phone (Samsung Galaxy). It also works on my old HTC Desire. 
    And it also works to charge my Lumia 920 via usb on my laptop, so there's nothing wrong with my phone either. 
    Any suggestions??

    As not a Nokia accessory it could not be recommended in case of warranty issues, but if Lumia 920 running Drive draws more current than 750mA that CR-200 supplies http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/phones/phone/cr-200/specifications/ then use of an iPad car charger in accessory socket delivering 2.1 Amp should manage to net charge device battery whilst it is consuming >1 Amp in Drive mode.

  • IOS8 music control through usb in car (Jeep & Volvo)

    after updating both mine and my wife's iPhone5's and to iOS8 our in car controls started working intermittently for actually starting, skipping, pausing, etc.. playback of our iPhones both in my 2011 Volvo S40 and her 2014 Jeep Cherokee (through USB connection, which previously worked with no issue).
    we then upgraded our phones to iPhone6's and same issue (after updating to one the next small iOS8 updates the issue was slightly less intermittently, but still sporadic and very unreliable; 8.1.3 update made no difference).
    control works perfectly through bluetooth streaming in her Jeep, however.
    I assume there were changes made to the music playback control (trickplay) mapping in iOS8, is there a ticket out to fix this or is the issue even know?
    Are others having the same issue?

    I went here: https://rsur.extra.chrysler.com/rsur/Uconnect.do
    You have to have a flash drive to install the image to and plug the USB into your Jeep.  Haven't tried that yet but will tonight.
