Playing music to recent car with ipod classic/rockbox

(1/2) > >>

Magphil:
I have a new car, skoda karoq 2023. It has only usbc ports and bluetooth.

I tried a mini-jack to bluetooth converted, but impossible to connect to the car. Looks like it takes only phones.
usbc ports accept flashdrives but don't see the iphone. I tried usb hid to yes or no and various options of USB keypad option.

Is there a solution to this is is this the end of rockbox device on car ?

Thanks

philden:
One option would be to try an FM transmitter.

gomezz:
Have you checked the BT adaptor is set to transmitter mode?

Of course, it works with a BT headphone. It's just that cars now are phone oriented, and obviously simple BT transmitters do not provide all the handshake the car is waiting for.

saratoga:
It's possible it sees the Apple vid and assumes it'll do digital out instead of MSC. You could change the vid so it thinks it's a USB thumb drive, although that largely defeats the purpose of using rockbox.
