Help with a Kenwood X-497


Recommended Posts

Everything about the hu is wonderful except one thing.. When I hook my usb up to it, it reads n/a device.. I've already installed the Kenwood music control app on my android and it still reads that.. Am I missing something that's still causing it to read that?

Could be the type of USB. I know mine has reading issues with them as well, and it is a kenwood. Certain USBs read perfectly and pretty damn fast, others, will work then go to N/A, or N/A as soon as they read.

If you mean the USB as is a memory stick, try formatting it and put all the music back on it. There may have been something wrong with the way the files were writing onto the memory stick that the head unit doesn't read.

My Kenwood didn't like my USB stick but after I formatted it it worked fine.

could be... mine seemed to have an issue with the whole 2.0/3.0 USB deal.

I meant connecting my phone to the hu, not a memory stick.. A memory stick works fine it's just that my phone doesn't want to cooperate, I've been connecting my phone to the usb so that it will charge and playing music from aux, all those wires are driving me crazy if you know what I mean lol..

An iphone would work with it, so idk why I can't get mine to read.. I know that you need that music control app but it still wouldn't work.

Last i recall, kenwoods only had apple support.

I though androids had 1 slot for the micro USB charging cable, and a different slot for data transfer, where as the apple devices have it in 1 plug.

I know that Kenwood is built for iOS, but you can run Android if you use the app. You have the app, so I'm guessing there could be a firmware issue with the head unit. Look in the manual, there's a way to update it or just reload it.

As far as the cable itself, I have no experience with Android phones.
