Every time I want to listen to music I have to do it through Bluetooth. Has anyone been able to get around it and make the usb input work?

When connected it registers the song, charges the phone, but it only plays the music on phone.

I have ave an iPhone X
clubby 14’

 

I think you need to get the Y-cable that connects to the headphone jack: https://parts.seattlemini.com/p/MINI...SABEgLl2vD_BwE

 

Part no longer available.

 

Techically, the Y cable is NOT USB, its an 1/8" cable, using you headphone out.
The USB on my previous R56 was never functional.

 

Aux cable is the way to go. Or get a USB thumb drive.

 

sadly yes this is the only way. Check Amazon for similar y cables. BMW used them too so check there as well.

or get a Bluetooth USB adapter and go the route.

 

2 ways to do it….
1. This will allow you to charge and use the aux option on the radio, I have used this and it works but charging from that usb kinda sucks.
2. I’m currently using this, it connects via Bluetooth to phone, will show up as iPod on radio. I have a cigarette USB adapter that I plug the phone into to charge, found this works the best, and the Bovee uses the aux and USB ports.
