Nissan USB Controls for Phone Audio

[biggbrother2]

Just bought a 2011 Nissan Rogue. It has a USB connector for a flash drive or an iPod. However, the iPod interface obviously doesn't work with an Android phone. Does anyone here know of an app that successfully "emulates" an iPod so the car thinks its connected to an iPod?

Android Ipod interface emulator

One nice thing about Apple products is all of the accessories and interfaces that work with them for music. I have a Nissan also. My wife can plug her Ipod into the USB, and the car screen shows the artist, music, and the full Ipod interface that can be controlled right from the car. I can't do anything through USB in my car from my Android phone (HTC EVO). I can play music over Bluetooth, but the interface is rudimentary - play, pause and skip. Nothing like the Ipod.

There are many docks, stereos, receivers, etc., that allow an ipod to plug right in. Sure wish someone could make an App for Android that emulates the Ipod interface over USB, for those accessories that support Ipod USB interfaces.

I know that most accessories use Apple's proprietary connector. But a USB emulator would be nice. Maybe an enhancement request for DoubleTwist.
