I just got my Razr Maxx and would like to play the music on it over the GM radio in my 2011 Silverado via the USB connection. All I get from the various connection options are "unrecognized device" on the radio. Any ideas?
This would be the Best way to Go an it includes the Cable that can go to the impute Jack in your Truck. We have a 2011 truck as Well an Extended Cab with the Same plug witch is just below the Stereo.
Here's a View of the Car Dock an it Does have a Audio Cable to were you can Plug into you Car Audio. Car Charger is Excluded with Kit ! b33
You will also need a Car Charger that are sold separately to Go with it But with Kit you you can play your Music
Since your gonna need a good Charger to go with it i would like to Suggest one of these
Here are three Great Chargers From MOTOROLA that you can use in Conjunction with the Vehicle Dock
Hello wlhump...
I've having the same difficulty with my 2010 Chevy Traverse. I have tried the different USB settings on the phone (USB Mass Storage is SUPPOSED to be the one). I was able to get it to work ONCE, but I have tried so many different combinations of settings (such as in USB mode, turn phone on first, then ignition, etc etc) I cannot get it to work again. I even tried different USB cables.
Amazon.com sells the car dock that comes with all cabling (USB cables, 1/8 to 1/8 audio cables, dual charging ports, etc) so nothing else to buy. I've ordered mine, should be here next week. I just hope I can find the right combination of settings to make it work thru USB port, for the best sound.

Instead of trying to use a USB Cable an USB Jack. Use the Cable that comes with the Kit i showed!! it goes directly out of the phone an into the Stereo Aux Jack on the Traverse or Any new Gm Vehicle. b33
Thanks for your fast reply. The stereo audio cable is an option I have used, and it works ok. The reason I want to use USB cabling is:
-its a digital signal
-it will charge the phone at the same time
-I can tuck the cable into a channel that runs into the center console where the USB jack is, so no wires are seen
-and best yet, I can change the songs, (next, back, change artists etc) from the controls on the steering wheel.
We Had a 2011 LE Camry an in it. It had a USB input Jack but on Our Truck it's not there or i have not found it Yet :smileysad: But it's the Basic truck Model an Not the Fancy LTZ ! that's one i wished we had..b33
I have experience similar issues with some radios, it seems that either the manufacture are not using a universal data port connection and due to the differences it can be a hit and miss situation on which will and wont work.. Since my Kenwood has bluetooth feature I use that feature but like you reported the usb gives a digital quality sound.
Out of curiosity does the error show on device or car stereo when plugged in and also have you checked for any firmware updates for car stereo, so manufactures allows this?
