    I finally was able to make the Droid work with the USB interface.

    Here's what you have to do:

    1) Install AnyCut from the Market
    2) Long press any of the Home Screens and Add a Shortcut
    3) Choose AnyCut
    4) Select Activity
    5) Scroll down to SD Card
    6) Open the Shortcut
    7) Select Enable USB mass storage
    8) Connect the Droid to USB

    I found this solution on AndroidForums for the G1 and it works for the Droid.

    PM me if you have comments :)

    You made that awfully hard. I just plugged in my Droid, it popped up a window asking if I wanted to mount my SD card, I pressed "yes" and done! No special app necessary. Note this is with Android 2.2 firmware, maybe things have progressed since this post.

    Does this actually enable the USB tab on the Prius Audio?

    For my Samsung Epic, whenever i plug in my phone, it gives me the option of "mass storage"...and if i select it, then USB tab pops up on the NAVI screen. HOWEVER, my Prius canNOT find any music on my Epic! :( I have DOUBLETWIST...and music is stored in the music folder...still no go. I am still running Android 2.1...Samsung is taking forever to update it!

    How did you guys get the Prius to play via USB from your Android phone??
