I was trying to hook my evo up to the car stereo and play the music through the usb but I can't figure out how to.
I doubt that the EVO sends audio out through the USB port since it has a headset jack on it.
yes you canyeah, ipod/phone does that automatically.
I wonder; if you plug the evo to the usb jack in the car, can you change the charge mode to mount the sd card too? If so, the radio will think it's a usb stick and play the nusic that way.
Not sure though... I have to try it tomorrow
How do you do it? I tried hooking it up but you arent given an option to mount the sd card?yes you can

Yes, I was afraid of that. I had a splitter for my HTC Tytn II that split the audio and the power up, but of course the Tytn didn't have a separate 3.5mm audio jack.
I have my Evo in a windscreen cradle, so I was hoping I would just need to attach one cable from the bottom and be able to power it and also get music out of it (ie pandora, nav instructions) but looks like I'll either have to attach 2 cables, or try some bluetooth trickery

try selecting "mount as disk drive"

Yep, I bought the same adaptor/splitter, and the mini to micro adaptor and thought I had it cracked... until the mini to micro didn't fit into the splitter due to the mad extra corner bit. I tried the set up in my old, dying HTC tytn II and it worked great ! Music and charging at the same time with no interference. I spent a bit of time today researching this, and I decided to buy this bluetooth receiver.....

That is what you need to do but first you have to change some settings.
Go to Applications. Then Manage Applications and then Development and then click on usb debugging.
Then your car stereo will recognize the usb on the phone.
confirmed. i have a Pioneer iPod ready cd deck that has usb. when connected, mount the device as a disk drive. then go to menu > settings > applications > development > check "usb debugging". your phone will now play through your stereo just like if it were a flash drive or something. you can navigate the folders. it even picks back up where it left off in the song if you turn your car off and back on.
guess i bought an iPod for nothing =/
Do you play the music on the phones media player or do you navigate the folders from the head unit?
