Droid does-connect to usb in 09 civic

brennon77 · 11-16-2009, 01:43 PM

FIGURED OUT something pretty cool. I have an 09 civic si and you guys know that they come with a USB ADAPTER for connecting IPOD and Flash drives for playing music. So I connected my new DROID via the usb micro cable an BAM it works like a charm. I can control my music folders and everything. Just a helpful hint if anyone was wondering about purchasing a Droid. Simply plug the USB micro cable in and then use the USB mount feature on the phone and that's it.

I also had a palm pre and it worked as well!!

Good to know.

Can you do this with 06-08s?

brennon77 · 11-18-2009, 12:38 AM

I don't think they have USB adapters standard; However, if they do, I'm sure you could. But my 07 did not have the USB adapter in the console. But if you have a USB capable receiver installed, I'm sure it would work. Droid storage is flash based 16gb.

That's kool for the 09's but for 08's we have to connect the cord from the phone to the ipod cord for it to wrk...still works but either will do for me

You can install the USB connection and then yes, it will work. Check the DIYs. I know it works with the navigation unit, it may not with the regular-ass stereo

Sweet, thanks for the information, I'm switching from my Iphone to a Droid this friday, and this was something I was wondering about.

LikWidv1 · 12-09-2009, 11:28 PM

lol known this since the day it came out. good information for everyone else though.

I used it all the time, but I've found it easier to use the AUX and control the music from the UI on the actual phone.

Works on the Eris too. iMusic FTW.

I am not familiar with the 09-2010 HU setup. Can that be added to our 06-08 vehicles? I would like to have the HU read the songs or be able to scroll through playlists, from the HU or Steering.

codypet · 01-08-2010, 02:00 PM

Doesn't work for the Palm Pre.

KSMatic · 01-08-2010, 02:54 PM

i've tried it and this information is depending on which stereo package you have. It will work but you will still have sync issues. I've heard that the droid is coming out with a new firmware update to fix some of these issues such as bluetooth and usb connection, however, its up to the stock system to even consider of reading the phone.

busychild · 01-09-2010, 01:42 AM

Next firmware would be 2.1. It adds alot. ESD56 is the most recent update for the Moto. Do you have that update? It was an OTASL push. The Eris is now on 1.16.

***tuner student*** · 01-25-2010, 10:50 PM

with the usb function can you control the tracks via steering wheel?

if so i might look into getting an usb drive installed in my 08. i like the aux function and will keep it for other times but i find it dangerous to scroll on my phone while driving

***tuner student*** · 01-26-2010, 01:50 PM

Bump..

***tuner student*** · 01-26-2010, 09:40 PM

bump..

***tuner student*** · 01-27-2010, 08:29 PM

anyone?

**|-Goku-|** · 01-27-2010, 10:38 PM

Yes, it will let you use the Steering wheel function to change tracks on the Droid

***tuner student*** · 01-28-2010, 08:40 AM

Sweet jesus. I gotta get this mod.

I just got a Droid Eris over the weekend and added a bunch of music from Itunes. I just did a drag and drop into the memory card.

The songs play fine on my phone, but only some of the songs seem to be working in my card. Many of the files come up as "unplayable". Anyone else having this problem?

Is it possible that I need to split up the songs into several files to make it more managable?

Right now I have just one file w/ about 5.6gb of music.
