Thumbs up V40 XC Entertainment - USB connection to smart phone

Thanks for that - confirms what I was seeing. I followed this issue up elsewhere as well and it does look to be related to how a modern Android device thinks it should behave when connected to another media system.
(HTC was running v2, Samsung is v4)

* Samsung Android invokes the Media Transfer Protocol when connecting to another device. It's means you can keep using your phone.
* Volvo Ents expects device to be connected as USB Mass Storage device (which would disable other functions on the phone)

So I guess I'll just get a massive USB stick and drop all my music on to that, leave the phone on bluetooth and away we go.

(Don't have time to start messing with the Phone OS)
