Has anyone solved the USB to center console problem yet?

Someone on this forum tried this adapter and it worked for them:
USB A Male to Mini B 5 Pin Female Adapter Converter | eBay

I don't remember who it was nor have I tried it, but I saved it in My Ebay on purpose so I could order it when I do my stereo upgrade...

I have two plugs that look exactly like the one you linked.. "incompatible USB" is all I get.. But hell, it's cheap enough, so this will be my 4th adapter.

Look at the bright side - you just made your 51st post, so you can put those extra plugs up for sale on the forum.

This is an awesome site with all the wiring diagrams. I looked at the USB schematic and nothing is weird standard schematic for USB. What I did notice was the AUX in is part of the same module (plud in). So I'm wondering if the AUX is piggy backing on Mini B connector? This might be the reason that using the stock cable might be screwing things up. I'm trying to find a wiring schematic for the Stock HU's to see if the mini USB is wired funny to account for the AUX being present.

I'm not sure I fully understand what you're saying about the aux.. But I did have my console apart, and the aux plug is completely separate of the USB plug.

I did a couple of things: I sent a message to Metra Electronics to see if they had solved this problem and I'm sending it directly to Chrysler Customer Service.

We'll see how it goes

I have read on here where there is a USB above the glove box or in the the upper glove box you need to remove the upper part if you just have the opening it should be behind it

Informal, read first thread in audio & electronics. It will help

I read it a while back thanks,

It was late when I read these updates last night.. When the hidden USB was mentioned, I thought maybe (as mentioned by another poster in this thread) it may be the cause for a USB hub conflict.

But then I remembered that I physically removed the center console USB module..ran my aftermarket head unit directly to the module (with 3-4 different adapters) and even that didn't work.

And what did it register as to your computer?

I have tried every adapter and or cable I could locate..it just does not work..I even cut one and re-wired it with every possible combination..I'm stumped...I did remove the cloth from the center console, and removed the USB block and found a panel mountable USB receptacle, but I haven't gotten around to swapping it out...when I put the cover back on...it's now stretched and sloppy looking, so I figure if/when I ever get katskinz to recover it, ill tackle it then...so baffling that nothing I tried worked...I believe it's a hub issue with the canbus
