I plug my iPhone into the USB and play my music through it with no problem. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

So why does a memory stick work when playing music ? I also play my Ipod but you can also Bluetooth it.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Same prob here.
MY 2015 low line audio. Unfortunately the standard USB port is for charging only, ipod connection was an upgrade option.
Been searching for a nice solution to connect my ipod via bluetooth, respectively retrofit and activate the required parts for usb connection, but haven't been successful yet.

yes I've been using iphone for bluetooth music streaming from iTunes match, but its eating up my data allowance, seems strange that a usb port was fitted and not connected up to audio equipment.

Might be strange but that' what JLR did on the Jaguars as well probably saved tuppence on the installation costs but a retro fit unit for the Jags was hundreds of pounds! No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

Hi

Looks like same audio as on mine. I've got a few IPods and it's only the later ones that work - Ipod classic 160gB. Old 30gB Ipod doesn't work with it so probably depends which Ipod you have
