    Default USB PORT ON THE 2016 F3 LIMITED

    Haven't had any luck connecting my galaxy S7 edge to the usb port. Get message "not recognizing input". Have to use the aux plug to get music but that eliminates using any controls from the bike ie "next arrow". ANY HELP

    I don't believe Samsung supports MTP/MSC format. You're best bet is to buy a cheap Bluetooth receiver and hook it up to the USB and audio jack. Then you will be able to hear audio. You can control everything right through the phone.

    Yes, poor terminology. The Bluetooth receiver he sells is "inexpensive" and will allow the OP to play music through their system without having to buy an "expensive' iPhone ---although Apple is better than Google

    Usually it's on one end of your charging cable. USB on the left.

    The USB is at the end of your cable. The part that plugs into the block that normally goes into the wall. That end also goes into the USB port on the F3T

    According to Samsung it does support MTP format. The issue to me looks like the phone has to be put into MTP mode. http://www.samsung.com/au/support/skp/faq/1045199

    PS This should be similar for all android phones.

    Needed to have the s7 reprogrammed...it now works through the usb port but not well. I will play music from my library but will not play from Pandora. Solution was to get a bluetooth transmitter hooked up to the aux plug and now all is well.

    Well that's different. You should have explained what you where trying to do. Plugging your smartphone into the Spyder usb gives you the ability to play music files stored on it. Basically the same as plugging in a thumb drive with your music files on it. It is not able to control any music apps on your phone.

    Glad you got it working.

    Your absolutely right which is why I went the bluetooth route. Bought the transmitter from Best Buy for $30 and it is working like a champ

    I was not correct about the charging from the usb port on the F3t. It will not charge my phone and I wound up purchasing the F3 power port from Lamonster garage. Works like a champ, very happy with the build and installation...thanks Lamont

    Default my experience

    I have Spotify on my phone and tablet and when plugged into the female usb dongle via a sync cable in the glove box I can advance
    to the next song with the buttons on the left handle bar.

    Then one day it started intermitantly acting up saying [no device] on the dash. I talked to the dealer about it but he said he did not know of any technical bulletins or heard of anyone else having the same problem. Considered going to Bluetooth.

    So one day while it was not working for some odd reason I powered my phone off and back on, when I was ready to leave I plugged in my phone and the stereo started playing music without the aux. audio input.

    I have a 2016 F3S Ltd. I had the same connection issue and message. I tried again and manage to get it to work my Samsung A5. Once you've connected the usb-c to the end of the phone, unlock your phone with your code. There will be a message asking if its ok to let the connected device access your phone, say yes. The Spyder will then do s scan of your phone looking for the mp3 files. It plays your music sequentially always beginning with the lowest numerical digit followed by the alphabet. In other words you'd have to manually toggle the skip selection to get to the next track. To do this, hit the eco mode button until you get to audio, then hit the > or < to skip or repeat tracks. You do not have to use the 5mm jack plug, the USB-C is sufficient to do all this. Just make sure you have a solid connection between the usb connections and that ypu've unlocked the phone. Hope this helps
