i'm going to assume you have tried this -


If you're using USB Playback

  1. Restart your iOS device and your car.
  2. Connect your iOS device to a different stereo USB port (if you have one).
  3. Try a different USB cable.
  4. Update your iOS device.
  5. Install any firmware updates for your car stereo.
  6. Try playing audio from a different app. If you can't play audio from a specific third-party app, contact the app developer for help. If you can't play audio from an Apple app, contact Apple Support.


i tried them and still had "USB Unreadable"

My Volvo V60- 2016. My phone iPhone SE 2016

New phone, new car.


Try this.

Connect phone with USB lead.

in My Media tap on AUX. Try to connect. Quit out

Try connecting to HD ( Hard drive)

Tap import. Quit out. Re-try USB.


Worked for me, may work for you.


It seems to re-set the Volvo internal access to the phone

Good luck
