My iPhone is connected to my TL audio system using a USB cable. When I select 'iPod' on my audio system, I'm able to migrate to my selection using the folders displayed. However, when I select 'play' the selection does not play until i press the 'HDD' button that selects 'Bluetooth audio'.

Is there any way to play my music selections through the USB cable - not wireless Bluetooth? Or, is this the way the system was designed?

Thank for your feedback.

You have to double tap your iPhone home button. Swipe right twice and select the up button in the button right hand corner and select handsfree. I ended buying an iPod because I was tired of doing this.

Thanks njsimons. Seems like a lot of distraction while driving! Do I have to go through this every time I change a music selection...or, is it a 1 time deal? Also, do you know if this is particular to the 3G....would the 4G work differently...perhaps as 'expected'?

With regard to your purchasing an iPod....since the TL has a single USB port, you'd loose the integrated phone connection. Out of curiosity, do you know if the single USB port can be expanded using a USB hub?

All you need to do it wait till your phone bluetooth connects to the car, THEN plug your ipod in. Either that or turn bluetooth off on your phone.

just by an iPod - plug into the usb cable - forget about it

too much hassle using your iphone

This happens with either 4g or 3g I have the 4g iPhone. Once you do it once it will stay that way. I'm not sure if you can use it as a hub never tried it before. but i really suggest you buy an iPod Nano its just way easier. Doing that every time just gets annoying.

I just threw the mp3s on a usb stick and leave it plugged in. All the audio-out on the iphone works fine over bluetooth, and every 2nd or 3rd time it connects, the skip buttons even work with pandora. The skips work fine with the ipod function over bluetooth - who cares if it's on the nav screen..
