Note 2 won't connect to car stereo via USB

---

I just got my Note 2 yesterday, haven't rooted it or anything (yet) and I'm having an issue connecting it to my car stereo via usb. The stereo says USB not available, but when I connect either of my Skyrockets (one stock No root, the other on Embryo 6.4) they connect almost immediately. Any ideas?

Well you're no help man lol jk.

I'll trouble shoot it tonight. I think it's something with the way it connects because it says "connected as a media device" which is something I'm not familiar with. I'm used to phones simply saying "usb connected".

Something else I've noticed is when I connect it to the pc only the internal storage is visible but my sd card isn't. I'm sure that's been addressed somewhere already but idk.

Try blutooth...thats how mine operates
All u need to talk through your stereo.... is a lil mic.
U just run the mic through your dash and up your left dash pannel or whenever u choose to mount.

Chances are the stereo is expecting UMS connections rather than the MTP/PTP the n2 is providing. This is why you see the phone as a device on windows rather than as drives.

UMS: usb mass storage
Mtp/ptp: media/photo transfer protocol

(Please correct me if I borked those names)

Also, threw / through.

Yeah, I did a quick Google search and read that Samsung disabled usb mass storage on newer devices. Pretty stupid, but it explains everything. Thanks for the help guys.
