does the PodEmulator can emulate thru USB?

Open mrIom opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

My car audio system (sony cdx-gt55uiw) has a USB port and supports iPod. Works without problem for the iPhone like it is an iPod and could play from any app on the phone. But if I use my android phone it will try to read it as a flash drive and plays the media that finds in the phone. The android phone (google pixel 2) has the File transfer/Android auto enable, and doesn't seem to send any audio thru the USB to be listened thru the car speakers.

Is there any way that an app can emulate an iPod and been able to use the phone as I have used the iPhone to play Pandora/Spotify/etc..? I did try the PodEmu but it is waiting for a serial adapter, it doesnt work with USB? I thought that was similar to an iPod docking station.

No, you car audio is not compatible with PodEmu.

Ok, I'll keep trying to find an app that can emulate the iPod via USB. Thanks!

I think I have found, not exactly app, but whole contraption that does it. It's proprietary though. It's called Wirelinq by GROM audio. Have not tested this myself yet, but for example in this demonstration video it looks like in the saab 9-5 the android phone connected via Wirelinq cable is recognized as a iPod

I will probably buy this for testing if I'll get a reply that it will be compatible with my car radio, and if so I will update you :)
