Why is Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) USB not supported in my Honda Pilot?

Any thoughts on how to resolve the "USB not supported" error my vehicle (Honda Pilot) displays when I connect the phone (Galaxy S Captivate) via the USB jack?

Thanks in advance!

That USB input in the Honda Pilot only supports certain drivers. It looks like it has support for standard flash thumb drives and iPod products. Android comes preloaded with the drivers necessary to communicate with windows so until Honda updates the stereos driver support or someone puts the necessary drivers to interface with the Pilot on your device I believe you will be out of luck.


do you have the USB set to the right setting? settings->Applications->USB Settings->[Mass Storage or Media Player] Try all the different settings, it's not obvious which one the car is happy with (if any)

Also under settings -> Applications -> Development try turning on [USB Debugging].
