Have 2008 AM Vantage V8 Roadster. Have Galaxy 8. Plugged phone into USB port Set radio to USB. When plugged in shows loading and then "Unavailable" Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks Frank

I am not sure you can get the system to access your music that way. I can't on my DB9, and have always just used a memory stick with music loaded on to it. However I have just bought one of the Bovee iPhone devices that allows you to use Bluetooth on your phone to play music stored on your phone. It works well with Galaxy S6.

Thank you I'll try stick and move music from laptop to stick. Thanks for the help. Frank

Yep , my 2008 Vantage Roadster also didn't play music via the phone , only via memory stick.

Adam will be along in a minute to wisely tell you to rip the music to your memory stick in the highest quality mode - to get the best out of your Aston's audio. You can (for £££'s) upgrade your Bluetooth (If already fitted), via your local dealer, to include music streaming via the phone, but this is obviously lower quality and the memory stick route is definitely best if it works for you

Damn - Grant has beat me to it this time, so I'll just say "what he said" ^^

For those who foolishly thought that Apple Music was a good idea ( this halfwit!). The options are somewhat limited to an iPod Touch/iPhone as a 'Music Server' or a Bovee 1000. I've bought the latter & whilst it seems to work nicely, it's a little quiet.

Thanks for the replies Guys. As suggested I'll just use stick.

Does it matter what kind / type / spec of stick one uses ?

In your new AMi III V12VS it's best to get a USB 3.0 stick if you can for the fastest read times, but not imperative as the older ones are backwards compatible.
