Try restarting your phone after you've connected it for the first time(which it sounds like you already did)
I had to the first time I connected my phone via USB. Also, make sure you are using the port under the armrest not glovebox. |

Finally, check settings on your phone to ensure that Bluetooth is turned on.

It's not going to work. You need the combox (Enhanced Bluetooth) to be able to plug the phone in via USB or to stream music via Bluetooth.
Here's another option: https://www.amazon.com/Tune2Air-WMA3...words=tune2air |

I don't mind the cable because meanwhile I listen to music it charges my phone
Like on my f30 I connect via the usb and it charges and it plays my music But with this one it tells me is not supported
