How to connect a smartphone to a radio
The first thing you need to check is the radio's support for a USB connection. To do this, inspect the device from all sides and find the connector labeled “USB”. If there are no labels above the ports, then you can find the desired input visually. Look at what the USB plug looks like and try to find a similar connector on the player panel. The most popular radios with USB support:
- Pioneer 4018;
- Suzuki Grand Vitara;
- SP-4004;
- Alpine CDE-131R;
- Pioneer 7621;
After this, you should download your favorite songs to your smartphone. Please note that recorded music must be in MP3 format. Then connect one end of the cable to the phone and the other to the radio. A notification about connecting to the player should appear on your phone screen. Open the top notification shade and go to USB Storage or Connection Method. The names of the tabs depend on the smartphone model, as well as the Android version. Here, click on “File Transfer”.

This function allows the radio to play the melodies available on the phone, no matter where they are located - on the SD card or in the internal memory.
How to fix the error and turn on the flash drive
Basic methods for ensuring stable operation of the drive:
- To check the contents of the drive, you need to turn on the device via a computer or laptop, and then view the list of documents using the file manager. It is recommended to set the mode to show hidden files that may cause malfunctions. Suspicious documents and files with the wrong extension must be deleted. If the user simultaneously uses the drive to store various documentation and musical compositions, then the purchase of an additional flash drive or memory card will be required.
- If malfunctions continue, the cause may be files infected with computer viruses. At the same time, they are not able to damage the head acoustic device, but during switching they slow down reading, which leads to an error. You can fix the problem using computer anti-virus programs.
- If the equipment continues to operate incorrectly, it is necessary to format the flash drive for the radio. It must be remembered that formatting irreversibly deletes all existing information. If the user stored important documentation on the drive, then it should first be saved to the computer’s hard drive. The compatible format of flash drives for the Pioneer radio is only FAT 16 or 32. When using the NTFC standard, the drive will not be readable.
- A number of owners experience an error when connecting drives via an extension cable. The defect occurs due to the additional resistance of the cord; it is recommended to install the flash drive directly into the USB port.
- Check the head equipment setup menu. In the parameters field for external USB drives, the value “memory” is entered. When using the "android" option, external devices are not recognized.
To ensure reliable operation of the drive, it is necessary to safely shut down the product. To do this, you need to switch the radio to the mode of receiving radio station signals, and then remove the flash drive from the USB connector.
If the user removes the drive while reading or writing information, there is a risk of file damage.
When switching again, the radio will try to read the damaged document, which can cause the system to freeze and error 19 to appear on the display.
How to play music
Immediately after connecting, the radio will start FM radio - do not pay attention. The way you control songs depends on the year the player was produced. On older radios, this can only be done using the built-in buttons. And on newer models it is possible to listen to songs directly from your smartphone.
Just launch the built-in Music and select the tune you want. Within a few seconds, the selected song will play from the radio.
As you can see, the cable method works great, but it has one huge drawback - the cord constantly gets in the way while driving. It is best to record musical compositions on a regular flash drive and insert it into the radio. Of course, you can’t control the player from a smartphone here, but you can improve driving safety. You can also install a navigator on your phone and listen to driving directions from the car speakers. Another way: How to connect a phone via Bluetooth to a radio tape recorder Thus, after reading this material, you can easily connect your smartphone to the radio tape recorder. It is worth noting that when you connect your phone via a USB cable, you can select the charging function, then the device will gradually charge the battery.
