Hi guys, this is my first time posting here so I hope I've got this in the correct forum!
So I've got the Galaxy S3, recently updated to Jelly Bean 4.1 thru Kies. Ever since I got this phone, I've wanted it to be both my phone and media device, so I can sell off my iPhone, giving me one less device to carry around. Understandably, I am well aware that Android devices aren't as easy to just 'plug and go' into an in-dash stereo like iPods, so I'm trying to get past that little hump.
Now, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but after upgrading the firmware, it seems that if I give it a little time, my in-dash will pick up audio via USB when plugged in. However, it seems like it's just playing my ringtones and notifications automatically, and I can't seem to figure out where to begin on creating a folder or playlist that it would play instead of just random audio files. I was told it would work as long as I play off the SDcard, so I created a folder, but no matter what I click on, it only plays through the phone, not the car speakers.
Has anybody played around with this? I don't know the brand of my in-dash off-hand, but I know it's not bluetooth ready, so that rules that option out. I'm confident that it's possible to do this if it's playing something at least--and the sound is great! So much deeper than my iPhone, so I'd like to figure it out!
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
