Or plug the new phone into the car's USB c socket and use android auto for nav as well as music playback.
I'm a bit surprised Android auto can't do dash cam as well, actually.
Ah, it's not Android auto anymore is it, they've properly combined it into Maps to complete the bloat. Maybe next they'll just rename Android itself to Maps.
I
could use the phone for sat nav, but I've got a perfectly good TomTom for that.
And yes, it's a brand new car and has Apple and Android playing options. I can use the Samsung Music Player on my phone via Bluetooth and control it from the car media player. I only had two songs on the phone, as I've never needed to use it before. I copied a few more song files over from iTunes on my Windows laptop last night and I can see the song names and play them, but it doesn't show the artist or album name, so as Sir T said, the meta data doesn't copy over, so I can’t select artist, albums or playlists for copied files.
A BlueTooth transmitter may be the answer, and they're not expensive, IF I want to try to continue to try to use my iPod classic, but I’d rather copy all my music on to the new phone and use that, but there’s the meta data problem to overcome. Or maybe I could copy everything on to a USB stick and play from there.
New phone arrives today, so I’ll have to have a play with it.
Thanks for all contributions.
