I have had several car radios with usb ports and have been able to plug usb flash drives in and listen to the music I have stored on them. However, I have tried to do the same with my phones and never been successful. I have tried using my Vibrant, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SIII, and now my S4. Still I have not been able to listen to my music from my phone. I know I could plug it into my aux jack using my headphone jack but I dont want to do that. Can anyone help?

OK I just got my adapter it is the official Samsung OEM MHL adapter. I had just one problem but I now have three. (PS I Have the White T-Mobile Galaxy S II which is the exact smart phone as the AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket)
Problem #1: I am not sure if its possible or how to go about doing this. OK I use a nice 27" HP 2711x LED Monitor on my bedroom with my Xbox 360 connected via VGA, my gaming rig connected via HDMI, and now I have my MHL adapter connected via HDMI. The problem is that my Monitor is only a monitor and it has no internal speakers, but I have a pair of external speakers that I use for sound the speakers have 3 input options. I can connect directly into the subwoofer portion via the red and white RCA cables(this is how my Xbox is connected), I can connect with my basic 3.5mm auxiliary cable plugged into the speakers input jack(this is the way that I connect my phone to play music), or I can connect via the inline Auxiliary cable that the speakers have built in(which is the way my computer is connected). Im not an idiot when it comes to Tech I know that HDMI cables handle both sound and video but since my monitor only takes the video part I can't get any audio when streaming from my phone to it, so I plugged my speakers inline auxiliary cable to my phone so that the sound would reroute to it, but that didn't work either it produced no sound =/, so I also tried to just plug in my headphones into my phone and again no sound. So are there any work arounds or ways to make it so my phone will let me output sound via its 3.5mm headphone jack or even its loud speaker? Or is there a seperate cable/jack I can purchase to split the HDMI cables video and sound, and make the sound output via either 3.5mm audio jack or red and white RCA cables, and let the video output via HDMI?
Problem #2: OK my MHL adapter was working video wise but today I plugged it all up and it wouldn't work at all my monitor kept saying no input detected so I was sad and I decided to remove my phones battery to do a soft reset. And it fixed the problem so I started web browsing etc and all of a sudden it stopped working again. Is there a work around for this or reason or fix?
Problem #3: Is there anyway to make the output quality full HD? Because when I am outputting and on the browser its like the resolution is so off which results in everything being huge and somewhat pixelated.
Sorry for the length I like for my post to be as in depth as possible.

I have a rooted stock SIII... When I first bought the phone everything was working just fine. I would load Pandora, plug in my phone to my car Aux jack and enjoy.
I hadn't actually used that functionality for about a week and during that time I did root my phone ( so not sure if rooting caused this issue ). Anyway, when I am at the gym, I can listen to the music just fine with my headphones. Even receive phone calls and the whole nine.
When I get into my car and plug in my phone to the Aux jack.. Doesn't work.
Here is the strange behavior though. If I take the cable ( unplugged from the car ) and plug it into the phone.. The phone reads "Headset connected". As soon as I plug in the other end... It disconnects.
I have tested the cable on my friend iPod and other Android devices and the cable works fine. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this or knows what I might be able to do.
well if the cable works fine with other devices then i would say try to reflash stock rooted rom... if that doesn't fix it which it should then i would lastly unroot and see if the problem goes away... prolly just the rom may not be reading the headphone jack voltage correctly for some reason...

Are you also plugging in the USB port to a power adapter? I've found many cars have grounding issues between the Aux audio jack and the chassis ground. Symptoms include odd behavior like you list, and weird buzz or whine in the audio when both Aux in and power adapters are used.
If this is the case and unplugging the usb solves your problem you could get an inline filter /ground isolater that will solve the problem.

Sounds like a short in the aux cable. It shouldn't show the cable connected when not plugged in to just the aux cable. Try a different aux cable.

Not long ago I got the Galaxy Note 2 and I love it. Even to the point of building a car dock from parts made for a Samsung Stratosphere. The dock works great, charging the phone and playing my music directly through the car stereo. However, I found that phone calls, while correctly set to speakerphone on the dock, are still coming through the phone speaker, rather than the car speakers, and since the dock covers the speaker, I can barely hear the person I'm talking to.
Is it normal for the phone to go only through the speaker/headset and ignore the dock, or is perhaps the Stratosphere's dock design the flaw?
In technical design, the Stratophere dock appears to function by taking the 5 pins of MicroUSB and seperating them into two charging pins and the left, right, and ground for stereo audio, connected to a standard 3.5mm jack. Knowing that the Galaxy Note 2 uses an 11 pin MicroUSB port, could that be the compatibility issue? As I mentioned, music and other phone audio plays properly through my dock, so why wouldn't the phone?
If there's an override possible, my phone does have full root access, but is otherwise still on full stock software.
Don't know about that dock idea - not familiar with it. Don't want to be dismissive if that's your only option, but best way is just get a Bluetooth Car Stereo. Then you can connect via BT and music and calls will come out the speakers. Some also have usb input as well.
I do know I tried using 5pin cables with the Note 2 and they don't work for various applications. You can verify this if you look up threads on video adapters for example. BTW, when you get a phone call, you do know about the output select screen right? Choices for Speaker, Headset (usually BT) - you can try deselecting Speaker... But I guess you've tried that.
whenever I plug my Tab 3 into the aux cable in my car, it does not recognize that I'm doing so & doesn't play anything through the cars' speakers. I've verified that the aux cable is good & even tried another cable for the heck of it(no luck).
If I plug in headphones though they work just fine(so I know the jack on the tab is good).
Does anyone know why this is happening & if there's a fix?
