USB port in Mini cooper 09 plate?

Hi, I have just bought a 09 mini with the USB and aux option. I have tried the USB with 2 different cables with my iPhone and iPod and it keeps reading empty. Anyone know or have any suggestions on how I can get it working?

Read the manual?

The USB is to put a flash drive on with music on it unless the iPhone control has been coded to the car.

  • Why port forwarding on port 80? I have a foscam home security camera and it needs port forwarding on port 80 if I want to use my iphone to view it from outside. Surely enough, it works as soon as I open that port. But isn't port 80 open by default? Else how could I view http websites in the first place. I don't get it. It's already open so why open it again?
