N95 as USB Drive

phelot · 02-08-2009, 06:00 PM

Has anyone successfully gotten their N95 to work on the 135i as the USB drive for music? I searched the forums and thought someone did before, can't find any posts any more.

Would be interested to hear about this, I'd like to use my N800 instead of my iphone. Would save so much time and prevent those stupid 'I forgot my phone in my car' moments..

I have hooked it up to my Nokia N95. It works well, song titles appear on the head unit and everything. It also creates playlists for you. However, sound quality is not very good because the Nokia PC suite software that compresses the files to fit onto the N95 reduces the clarity of the song. You have to crank it up really high to get average sound.

I ended using a memory stick in the end cause I was not happy with the sound quality.

Did you hook it up as the Aux In port or as a USB drive?

USB drive. It works quite well when you have it hooked up, its just the sound quality is poor. Also there is a significant cell battery drain unless you have the charger hooked up at the same time.
