Hi I am a new Cobalt TC owner and I wondering if anyone knew what types of mp3 players were compatible with the stock stereo system? I tried my friends zune in my car and it said "USB device not supported" so any help would be appreciated!

 

I've had no problems with my phone as my mp3 device in my 07 SS/NA

 

I think most phones, zunes, and ipods wouldn't work with the USB, try using just a standard flash drive

 

So do you mean like a usb thumb drive?

 

Yes they should all work and are so cheap

 

Sweet thanks for the info! I'll have to give it a try then!

 

hell you could probably even use an exturnal hard drive. I have one that connects via USB ports

 

nah the external hard drives usually use too much power. U need to boost the power to get it to play assuming it doesnt have a cap on how many songs it will play

 

Ok this is kinda on topic and probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway and risk the inevitable flameage. How does the MP3 player compatibility work? I never got a manual with my car so I just assumed I could copy MP3s to a disc and the cd player would play them. Is there actuall a way to plug a player into the car? I think I remember someone saying something aboout a jack being in the glovebox or something.

 

It only works on a 2009.

 

ya only the newer 09s have the USB. othewise just butn a data disk with mp3s on it like you would a picture cd or whatever and the stock "MP3" player will play it

 

use the aux imput not the usb

 

Ahh cool thanks.

 

I bought a 16gb Kingston over the weekend and uploaded all my music to it including all my albums and it works flawlessly. Not bad for 40 bucks.
