AUX USB only works if iphone pays for apple music

Hi,

I have tried looking at different threads and cant find this same issue or answers that help me.

So I do not have an apple music subscription; so, I am not signed into that app and instead use Spotify. When I try to connect our car’s aux usb the screen says that there are no compatible files to play and will not let me play music from spotify.

It does work with bluetooth and with iphones that do pay for apple music. I have an iphone 14 and the latest ios, plus, this also has happened with older iphone models.

Our car is a 2018 toyota 4runner and the same issue occurs with other toyota cars at least past 2015.

Does anyone know how to fix this without paying for apple music(a long term solution w/o using free trials and bluetooth)? Much appreciated!!

iPhone 14

? Do you have a Spotify library , if so , where is it .

I don't believe that you need an Apple Music subscription to play music in the car , as long as you have an iTunes library ?

Try putting your Spotify tunes into your iTunes library , then see if the file can be accessed ?

That's all I know about it , here is a link that explains using Car Play with iPhone :
