Ok.... does anyone know of a an app or a way to pay music on my sd card on my car stereo? I plug in my usb cable and nothing happens i used to be able to pull down the drop menu and i could mount sd card and whala it played but that option is gone. Thank you in advanced for any solutions you may have.

The GS3 does not support connecting over USB as a mass storage device (like my old Evo did). That is likely why your car stereo does not see your music on your phone. Not sure there is a way around that.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a solution but you can try it.
do you see the usb logo when you connect your phone to the radio on the status bar? If yes, pull down the notification, and click on the usb logo.. than choose "camera (ftp)", and right after that choose Media Device (MTP). It should work after that. You can also try to enable usb debugging under settings-developper options-usb debugging.

Yeah i could do that but i prefer usb cause my deck is a media player it has no cd slot or anything just shows all the songs via usb so i can use my remote to change songs vs looking at my phone distracting me from the road.
What rom are you on that allows you to connect usb as media?

There is an app for the international s3 that allows you to mount your sd.. But I have tried and it doesn't work on the us version, it would be great if we could get it working

I've tried all types of music players and configurations. The s3 can mount the USB to play music. However 98% of car stereos only support apple. There for you can not see the music on your deck like you can with a iPod. You can change the songs but it won't display them.

Anyone tried that app?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Mine kinda works :-0
When I plug my SG3 into my Sony deck (xplod or something) it recognizes a folder and plays the tracks in it. However it is not my music folder. It is some folder containing notification files. It will display the names of the files so I will try to find where those are stored and see if I can put music files there and see if they will play. But yeah, most decks are designed to work with Crapple thangs...

My understanding is that this is an issue that many newer ICS devices no longer have support for "Mass Storage mode" which is what you're referring to when you say "mount." The S3 uses what's called MTP which is music transfer protocol. It IMO sucks by comparison. They changed it for all the "special" people who think that voicing a button to mount a drive is too much work. The best way I've found is to stream it (which is a whole other ball of wax) or to just take out your memory card and put it in a usb micro sd drive. If anyone else knows a way to get mass storage mode (OTHER than using a custom kernel ) please let me know too!

Probably because the s3 uses mtp. It doesn't have the feature to see the phone as regular usb storage

With DivX plus codec software on a windows 7 pc you can stream it directly. You have to make sure your pc can see the ps3. I had to fiddle around a LOT to do it. My friend did it easily. I don't know why mine was so hard lol. Just MY luck. But my advice is to unload your video on your pc. Then stream it. Converting or encoding mkv takes forever. If you root your device. And install busybox there's a thread here on xda onshore to get back Mass Storage mode. I've been reading it after your post.

Playing music/creating playlist off Flashdrive

To save space I want to have my music in a flash drive. I can play individual songs but I want to know if there is way or an app that can shuffle songs that are on my flash drive if I have a folder with music only?

The only player that works with your requirement that I have tried is Poweramp. Winamp, etc. won't scan attached usb drives even though it is mounted inside /sdcard. Kind of weird I think. Will try jetaudio later when I get to my flash drive.

Jet audio will not scan flash drive
so far so good
Power Amp seems to work. I'm going to use a different flash drive and see what music it sees and see if the it saves the music on the device or not.

Car stereo

Hi guys,
Quick question can anyone recommend a decent car stereo that I can control my S3 with. I.e. select music to play from the stereo. My current stereo only plays once I've selected it on the phone. Bit annoying really.
Cheers in advance

I've been in car audio for 20 years.sure your car may have a doubledin unit, but you should be able to use a single din unit with an install kit.

+1 for the sony bt3900u. I even owned the previous model (stolen when car was broken into). I love this unit because the bluetooth is built in, connects instantly when i get into my car, and sound quality is excellent

Play Music -> A2DP support = Problem solved.
Browsing the files on the phone from the headunit would require you to mount the device as a USB drive. This is not actually possible over bluetooth (or has never properly been implemented?) and if you would like a function like that you can get a headunit with a usb port and plug your phone directly in via that port.

Hi Ricey
It maybe worth checking out the SONY XAV 601BT Its a double din touch screen stereo that utilises Mirrorlink technology built into the Galaxy S3 so you control your phone from the touchscreen on the stereo.
A few forum members including myself have this and we have a big discussion about it (with photos) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837847
hope this helps
Dan
Now that someone cracked the appradio2 to mirror android phones it seems by far the best unit out there IMO. Big thread on xda about it just search

Not entirely true.. some have it all integrated. I know its stock, but in my gf's POS 2012 Fusion, has sync and it sees the phone and can control the tracks, playlist and such all from the vehicle's controls. And no, it does not have nav.
I am sure there are some aftermarket that have similar capability.

I have been wanting to try this Parrot head unit, but I haven't seen one in use yet. I gotta say, it has a ton of neat features...

I am converting over to a double din system, for a big ol screen, but if I wasn't, I would probably go this route.
It really depends on how much you're willing to spend... I recently had my car broken in to - headunit and sunglasses stolen bastards... wasn't anything flash, an Alpine cde-133bt (paid about $300 for it at the time, 8months ago) - did the job, through bluetooth was great, could control either via phone or the headunit (only next or previous song on the headunit if using bluetooth), and has the aux and usb ports.
Also depends on what set-up of speakers you have in your car if you need something of higher quality as well...

Anyone look into this? Thinking about pulling the trigger on this for my 06 GLI.. They claim it supports text on the head unit, and full control from the head unit and steering wheel controls..

It's really only a viable option for higher end car stereos though, that have amplifiers.

Audio through Usb

Is there a way to get the Audio to go though Usb like iphones do? I found usb cables with the micro usb and 3.5 mm jack in 1. Just wasnt sure if it worked or not.
You have a link to this cable? And are u playing this music in the car? If so use sgs3 easy ums it can mount ur external sd card and all the music shows on the car screen I don't think it works for all cars though doesn't work in my accord but works in bmw

Once you find location on ur phone , plug phone via USB and have pc access phone as removable storage device.. Use any program such as Nero 11.10 or media player, and burn music to cd... PM if u still having issues.
