You can still do that if you want. My car's bluetooth is finicky, so I just have a USB C->aux cable adapter I use. You can share between people and have them share their music. It doesn't help with the password issues, but you absolutely can still use an aux cable with modern phones. You just need to use a USB C->aux rather than an aux->aux.
So glad the Europeans finally broke Apple and their ridiculous charger shenanigans. A coworker just got a new iPhone and asked me if I had an iPhone charger, I told them no all Ive got is USB C. They said they didn't know what they had and showed me the bottom of their phone and, sure enough, it's USB C. They had no idea that only Apple kept making their own charge connector and that basically everyone else had settled on one charger/data port like two or three standards ago.
And make sure it's not a cheap adapter so you get a reasonable volume out of it.
I love my car but it DOESN’T HAVE AN AUX JACK. Insanity. This fancy ass infotainment system with insanely delayed Bluetooth and I can’t use my amazing Bluetooth-to-3.5mm adapter that connects INSTANTLY and doesn’t lag two second behind when I hit pause and ughhhh
Well, then that is truly bullshit. I wouldn't even buy a car without one. Have you checked your manual? Maybe there's a hidden wire somewhere that you can attach an extension cable to.
I have indeed read the manual :c it’s wild too, cuz it’s a super high end stock system with a million speakers and a subwoofer hahaha. Checked forums and yep… USB and Bluetooth ONLY :c
I could swap it out but it’s whatever, it’s not worth the effort and money. It sounds excellent, I just wish the BT was fast like my cheap BT-Aux adapter…
Maybe try a Bluetooth fm transmitter? I have one because my car is too old for bluetooth and also doesnt have aux, but its great and snappy and i just have to reach down to the cigarette lighter to switch songs.
Great suggestion! My sound system is nuts tho, and I’m otherwise an audiophile so that doesn’t work out for me. But thank you <3!
Then use the USB? That seems just as good, no?
Nawhhh I prefer Bluetooth… I like to be able to just get in and go but listen through my phone. I do have a flash drive in the USB, though!
