Just got a 2022 Prius XLE-AWD-e. I have a bunch of songs on USB, but for some reason, someone thought it was a brilliant idea to disable USB music if Android Auto is enabled. So how can I get it to play my music?
Dude has Android Auto on his Prius and he's complaining, lol. My 2019 is stuck back in the caveman days.
We have a 2020 RAV4 but not Android we do have Apple Car Play Make sure your file format is compatible with your Op Manual, MP3 should be OK. I only have one USB port so I either have iphone plugged in or USB card I can play videos/movies off USB, but not when the car is in driving mode. I found the car and my TV's USB all had different video/audio formats they would read, so I had to know that. I also bought a cheap Bluetooth transmitter so I can pump in music from a CD player.
I had to convert some of my songs to MP3 since they would not play for whatever reason. Its been a while but I know the headunit which came in my 2016 is finicky about specific songs and music for whatever reason. I agree, for what we pay for these cars and "changes" cough removals of certain services, Tesla is looking like a better option. I personally think Head Units should be upgradable thoughout the life of the vehicle with cars often times lasting 10-15 years or so.
