Help Connecting to Ford Focus via USB to play Music

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to play music on a Ford Focus via USB. I've done this with other cars, but can't seem to figure it out with this one. There are 4 modes you can put the Droid 2 in when plugged into a USB. I tried all of them with no luck. It seems the correct mode would be the USB Storage mode I think it's called (the one that's not PC, charge, or what's that other one...). I tried searching for the car via bluetooth as well. Any ideas for how to do this?

Thanks.
 
It may not be possible. I know that on a Prius, I can only use the USB port for charging, and have to rely on Bluetooth for playing music. The nice thing about the Prius is that it automatically senses my phone and starts playing music every time I start the car.
 
My understanding is that the Droid line tries to mount as an autoplay harddrive before it tries to mount any other way, and the car systems don't like this, and thus, Droid->Head unit via USB doesn't work on many, many systems.
