I use Apple stuff exclusively. I like them. However, I'd like to purchase a device just to use in the car. - I tested an Android phone with a bluetooth connection but I could not see the playlists. Can the bluetooth connection use playlists and other sorting options as when my iPod is connected through the USB port? - If I purchase an Android tablet and plug it in the USB port, will I be able to use the "iPod" interface? That is to say, can I use playlists and other sorting options (genre, composer, album, artist, etc.) as I can with my iPod?
I know this is a late reply, but here's my experience with android and the USB port. I have a Motorola G4 android smartphone and the USB port from my 2016 Prius 3 won't recognize it. When I plug it in, my phone gives me charging options (Charging, file transfers, photo transfers, midi), but all options don't work with the Prius. I usually have to select the "File transfers" option to allow my computer to access my phone. Good luck.
