USB not working

I'm not sure if there's a problem with the car or if it isn't supposed to work. I don't have the technology package and to play music from my phone and charge it I have to plug it into the USB and aux. I wish it would do both from the USB port. Am I doing something wrong or is the car not meant to do this?

If you are referring to the USB not charging your phone. Is it a android? I found that some android phones need to have the debug setting turned on to get charging from the USB. I had this same problem in my sisters 3 series.
Some phones work with debugging disabled and some require it enabled.
search google you will find the info

I have an iPhone and the charging works fine. I was wondering if I was able to play music and charge using just the USB or if I have to continue using USB and aux.
