Android Auto & USB music on Kia Forte 2019/2020

[andrewn1107]

I have a 2019 Kia Forte EX. It has 2 USB charging ports (1 inside center console, 1 below the HVAC unit) and 1 USB port.
I want to use Android Auto AND listen to music from a USB drive at the same time.
However, it seemed Android Auto only works when connected to that single USB port and USB music only works when connected to that same USB port (but not the USB charging port). Anyone who has this problem?
If this is true, then it's quite disappointing. Every car I owned before, I can connect to use Android Auto AND play USB music at the same time.
But not with my Kia Forte?

As Far as I can tell, Wireless Android Auto was not available in any 2019 car. A very few 2020 cars were starting to make this available but cars built in earlier years did not have this feature. In the old days everyone had to connect to the media system with a usb cable to use Android Auto or Apple Carplay.
