New to Android Auto, playing iPod (mp3) music
Frustrated middle aged lady trying to play her iPod music in her new Lexus RX350. In my old Chevy Equinox, I simply plugged my iPod Nano into the USB and voila I had music. That's not an option on my Lexus RX350 as it doesn't recognize the iPod via the USB.
I have tried connecting my iPod via an AirFly SE bluetooth device but the bluetooth keeps dropping out. The music was fine when it worked but that was only for about 10-15 seconds at a time.
Now I'm thinking I'll have to transfer my mp3s directly to my phone and play my music via Android Auto. However, I've never used my phone for music and have no clue on what's the best app, how to set it up, etc.
I like very simple - set it and forget it. And I'm not enthused about possibly having to connect my phone via USB every time I get in the car.
Any suggestions on the best way to listen to my music?
RESOLUTION: I have copied my mp3 files to my phone and am playing them with the Musicolet app via Android Auto. This will do for now while I explore other options like streaming. Thanks for all the help.
