Is this not possible with an iPhone as well? I want to take the music I have on my iPhone and store it to the car's hard drive. if I plug the phone into the USB port and select my phone from the list of media sources (AM/FM/Satellite/CD/iPhone) I get an error saying my phone is configured for Car Play and cant be used to play or download media from the USB drive. OK fine. If I connect to my phone via Car Play (either BT or USB) there's no place I can see to download the music files.

Anyone have any ideas?
Try switching from carplay mode to idrive mode for your phone. Then try?

You might have better luck dumping music on a USB drive
