MP3's on iPhone not recognized


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm the new owner of a 2010 R/T Journey. Love mostly everything about it so far. I do find the iPod connection in the glove box a bit of a pain to connect, but not a big deal, especially seeing as how I can put all my tunes onto the hard drive anyway. This is the problem I'm having though. When I connect iPhone via usb and attempt to upload, I get the message "no music available on device for copying" even though I have some 14 gigs of music on it. Can anyone tell me why and what I can do to get my music on the hard drive? The radio/hard drive is the 430 model. Thanks in advance.

Might get a quicker answer and a more technical one by going to this site:

http://mofv.com/mygig/

A Lot of information there and there are also tech links to the folks that actually make

the MyGig radios if all else fails.

While the cord in the glove box is a pain, My iPod stays in there now, out of sight and out of mind.

We don't use it much anymore around the house so it's probably safer there.

The iPhone is not capable of being a hard drive (AFAIK without a hack) unlike iPod units where you can check to enable it as a storage device in addition to being a media player. Therefore you definitely won't be able to transfer music from the iPhone to the vehicle's hard drive via USB.

I transfer my music files from iTunes to the vehicle's hard drive via a USB memory stick. You can create multiple folders in the memory stick and label and organise your music in each folders. That way once you insert the memory stick in the USB slot, you can select to import any or all the folders including all the music files that it recognizes to be able to play. Because it can't play uncompressed WAV or AIFF files from the hard drive, I rip my audio CD in iTunes via mp3 320 VBR and the head unit plays it just fine.

I wish my head unit can connect an iPod/iPhone via the glove box so I don't have to keep importing via a USB stick. The stupid REU Navigation that my Journey came with is lame. It's not iPod capable and it's not even a touch screen.
