Using spotify in car with USB cord

I'm trying to play Spotify through the USB cord on my iPhone 5 in my 2012 jeep grand cherokee (RES 130 stereo with UConnect). When I plug it in it automatically starts playing music through the native iPhone music app. If i go to Spotify and press play it will play the song for 3-4 seconds then go back to the native music app. I've gotten it to play one song in full and then it will go back to iphone native music. I've gotten it to play 3 songs, sliding forward to the next song after playing for 10 seconds, and then it goes back to the native music app and wont go back. This has to have something to do with iOS 6 and spotify. I know it's worked before. Is there any way to override the native iPhone music app and play spotify? Is anyone else having luck playing spotify on their iphone through the USB of their car? Any help would be much appreciated!
Note: I can play Spotify with bluetooth turned off thru AUX, but that renders my bluetooth phone options useless. I can stream the audio through bluetooth but the audio is unbearably terrible.

I did find a solution to my iPhone-iPod-music-overriding-streaming-streaming-services-while-connected-to-USB problem  Although, this solution is likely only applicable to BMW owners with the BMW Apps feature aka 6NR.
There may be other/simpler ways, but this seems to work:
1) Launch Pandora (or could be Mog, or other BMW Apps app) BEFORE you start iPhone/iPod playback
2) Start playback of Pandora via ConnectedDrive/BMW Apps.
3) Press Home button on iPhone, launch your streaming app.
The car still seems to think it's in the ConnectedDrive audio menu, as evidenced by the Entertainment details screen. You can now consistently play back any other audio service via your iPhone without the iPod audio overriding what you're doing. Good times! The only drawback so far is lack of ability to skip tracks via the steering wheel.
As long as you haven't started iPhone/iPod playback when you get in the car, you can often skip steps #1 and #2, and go straight into the ConnectedDrive menu, then go to step #3.  Either way, following steps #1-3 works everytime.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time

    Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time?  Sometimes I cannot get the wireless to work, it seems to be my laptop.  It would be nice if I could use the usb, but it doesn't work.  What should / can I do, if anything?
    Sam

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

  • How do i use ipod in car with aux cable

    Im trying to use my ipod touch 4 in the car with an aux cable and its not working, any suggestions?

    Doesthe car's AUX input work  with oter devices? 
    Do headphones work on the iPod?
    If headphones work then if the car's plug is fully inserted into the iPod, that is all you have to do with the iPod.

  • My ipod wont work with usb cord

    i dont know what is wrong, do i have to replace it? i have another ipod video 60gb ,both the usb cable cords work for it but they dont work with my black 30gb one. i tried restarting it so many different times and it did not help. can anyone help me with this... thanks...

    Is your iPod not being recognized by iTunes or your computer, or something? (information like that might help)
    It doesn't sound like a problem with your USB cord, but probably a problem with your iPod (since the two cords works with your other iPod).
    If your iPod is having troubles with iTunes recognizing it, have you tried these five steps?:

  • Laser Jet M1217nfwMF​P wireless and fax stopped working printer works with usb cord

    I have an HP computer 64 bit version.  The printer suddenly stopped working wireless, fax stopped working weeks ago.  Printer does work with a usb cord.  Turning it off (removing elec cord) on both computer and printer, didn't help.  Nothing changed that was different to cause either problem.

    Hi agueda
    I see that your Laserjet M1217 wireless and fax stopped working but the usb connection does work.
    I would restore the printers defaults to setup the wireless again.
    Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, select network config, select restore defaults.
    Then make sure the wireless radio is turned on.
    Touch the setup button (wrench), network configuration, wireless menu, wireless radio-on.
    Temporarily connect the usb cable from the printer to the computer and go to start, all programs, hp, laserjet m1217 and select wireless configuration and go through the wizard to reset up the wireless again.
    or if your router has a wps button on it then you touch the wps wireless button on the printer and immediately touch the wps button on the router.
    Printer should automatically connect to the wireless network.
    Run the add printer wizard.
    Go to control panel,(win7) devices and printers then click add a printer, next, select network
    highlight printer, next, message installing printer.
    Should be able to print over  wireless again.
    Check  fax connections.
    Then run a fax test.
    Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, service, run fax test.
    You should have 4 passes.
    Change these fax settings on the printer.
    private receive-wrench/fax setup menu/ok/fax receive setup/ok/private receive/ok/set it to off
    error correction-wrench/arrow to fax setup/ok/all faxes/error correction/ok/set it to off/ok
    speed-wrench/arrow to fax setup/ok/all faxes/ok/fax speed/ok//change speed to medium.
    clear saved faxes-wrench/fax functions menu/clear saved faxes/ok/ok to clear.
    Try sending and receiving a fax.
    If you have any further issues please let me know.

  • Using an External HD with USB 1.1 for Media (Movie files) storage?

    Many thanks for your attention.
    For a Media Storage (mostly movies) HD, I ordered a Maxtor OneTouch II with Firewire and the company mistakenly sent me one with USB 1.1 instead.
    I remember reading that for Media Storage, only the Firwire connection will work (for Macs). Or that there are a lot of problems with USB.
    Before sending this HD back to company, just checking to see if this is so.
    Also (when I get the correct Drive), I've heard that in order to store a Movie File, (a movie on Final Cut Pro or iMovie, etc.), the External Hard Drive MUST be formatted as a "Mac Extended (Journaled)" Hard Drive.
    Posting here for people's thoughts, opinions (hopefully not contradictory).

    Send it back.
    Even USB 2.0 isn't good for media. Fast transfer rate, but not a sustained one.
    USB 1 won't work AT ALL.
    RETURN!

  • Connecting ipod nano 7th generation through car stereo usb cord.

    When I connect my ipod nano 7th generation to my car stereo through a usb cable, (using a lightning adapter),  I am not able to control my music through the ipod, but only through the car stereo system. The car stereo system won't allow me to play my playlist on shuffle mode nor can I control the ipod itself through the device when it's plugged in. I have to unplug it and make new playlist selections. Any solutions?

    I am having the same problem with mine.  I have a Hyundai Sonota and can pair with my Ipod Nano but cannot connect.  I also would appreciate any help.  Thanks!!

  • How to use a Dell Printer (with USB)

    I have a dell all-in-one printer 964 that I would like to use (via USB) with my Macbook Pro. When I try to use it, it's looking for a driver and forcing me to choose one. Dell is not in the list. I can download the driver from dell, but it's an .exe file.
    What can I do to get these 2 to work together? Anything?
    Thanks in advance.
    I'm new to Mac... switching from a Dell.

    I may be able to offer a small glimmer of hope.
    The dirty little secret about Dell's printers is they're all actually Lexmarks in different cases. You might, then, be able to get a Lexmark driver to recognize your Dell as one of its own. Unfortunately, the Lexmark that the 964 is apparently derived from, the x8350, does not offer Mac drivers.
    However, you may be able to use one of the two following drivers:
    For the Lexmark X9350

    For the Lexmark X5450
    http://www.downloaddelivery.com/srfilecache/5400%20Series%20Web%20Installer.dmg
    No guarantees, but those drivers may help.
    All else fails? I'm a fan of HP's printers.

  • Car with USB input - but music plays from phone sp...

    Hi all,
    Last week I got a new Nokia Lumia 520. I've had iPhones for years, but since getting an iPad, though I'd have a change of phone.
    Our Nissan Quasquai has a usb input which connects straigh to the head unit. I can plug my iPad straight into that usb port and it plays music through the car speakers, with the added bonus of being able to change tracks on the steering wheel.
    However, an iPad is a chunky beast and when family are in the car its not practicle. So I thought I'd put some music on my Nokia and see if the same functionality is available. Unfortunatly when I connect it to the car through the usb stick, it plays from the phone speaker, not the car speakers. 
    Is there a setting I need to change within the phone, or is what I want to do just not possible? My next option is to play with a usb memory stick.
    Many thanks is advance for any help and guidence.

    there isnt a setting that will allow that to happen.
    the phone cannot play audio/video through the usb. it is for data transfer and charging only.
    your cars radio integrates and controls your iStuff because it has the software integrated to allow for it.
    if you have bluetooth, just connect your device to your car through bluetooth and play it that way.
    my pioneer still allows me to pause, play, fwd, etc on my nokia that way. i just cannot go through the menu system.

  • Not enough power in car with USB to charge z10 but will charge bold and Q10

    My in car USB shows the symbol that there is insufficient power to charge my z10 but when I plug in a Blackberry bold or a Q10 both indicate that they are charging.  The Z10 will charge properly when I plug it into a wall socket.
    Is there a way to get the z10 charging properly in the car as well?

    I faced the same issue. My guess would be that Z10 needs a more genuine (in terms of power) car charger than other phones.
    However if we ignore the error, charging does happen but with delay compared to wall mount charging. 
    Hoping to some alternative inputs from the experts.

  • My HP Envy 4500 is not printing with USB cord

    Hi! I recently bought an HP Envy 4500 printer for University and I can only use it with a USB (as University Wifi is private and won't allow printers). Up until now, it has been printing fine with the USB. I tried it today, and it refused to recognize there was a printer. I unplugged, replugged, shut of the printer, shut off the laptop, everything, but it refused to connect. it says "printer is not connected" when I tried to print class notes. I don't have any software on my computer, I'm pretty technologically challenged so I didn't know if I needed any. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? A printer that doesn't print does me no good, especially since I can't utilize ePrint or wireless. Thank you!

    Hi @rlvenkat , and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you're having issues printing via USB cable.  I would love to help!
    I would suggest unplugging the USB cable, and deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP ENVY 4500 series Full Feature Software and Drivers, and reconnect the cable when prompted.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
