Use a 12V to USB adapter in the socket to the right of the shifter on the center console. (I use this over the USB port inside console).

This doesn't have a data connection to your device, just the charging part. Then, your Bluetooth link will allow for connection under the Media option in MyLink like a USB stick.

Then get something like this and put it in your cupholder and sacrifice neither. You'll lose a cup holder though, but you have 2.

Odd I charge my phone with the usb and play the music over Bluetooth on my phone. But I am using Groove Music to play it.

I have a Samsung Note 5, I just plug it into a USB cable and once Android Auto pops up, I pull down the Notification bar and there's an option to "Exit Car Mode" which I click.

Then I open whatever app on my phone (usually Spotify) & start playing music and then on the Radio, make sure you click the Audio icon & then you'll press the button on the screen that's labeled, "Media" (i think that's the name).

Pretty sure he's an iPhone user. I've not had one problem with audio quality over USB with my S6 or USB stick. My iPod Touch pops and crackles like a bad aux cable over USB.

Or buy a USB cable that only charges, not syncs.
