USB PORT ON THE 2016 F3 LIMITED

[Windjamer]

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

Appreciate the response...If true, that's a bummer..BRP has excluded 50% of all cell phones

So you are saying the owners manual is wrong?



According to this, it should work.

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.

Lamont sell them on his site

To play music through the stereo. Maybe even charge 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 :cheers:

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.

 

[billybovine]

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.

How are you charging your phone on the Spyder?

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
Thanks

You can charge the phone with the USB port...not as fast a charge plugged into an ac outlet, but it works
