Default Stupid music question

I have a 2018 SGS with factory HU. When I plug my phone (galaxy 8+) into the port I get nothing but phone charging.
I can bluetooth all day long with the same phone but it will not recognize it when i plug it in except to charge the battery.

What am i doing wrong????

Are you using the media choice USB in the menu?

There is NO choice for media when the phone is plugged in. Like I said it will find it in media if I turn the bluetooth on.

I had the fairing off. Is there something tut that I could have disconnected that allows me to charge the phone but not play media?

Not all connector cords transfer data - some are just to charge - try a different cord?

What happens when you turn bluetooth off on either the phone or bike? Does it then show up in media?

Also, JMC is correct!!

a, you have to have the correct cord as mentioned, b) you have to have the phone set up to allow file tranfers through usb.
