Hi,You've probably already gotten the answer to your question as your post is almost three months old. I'll answer anyway in case you haven't gotten an answer or others are wondering the same. I tried it with my iPhone. Yes. It works fine for playing music. I use the Kensington with my original iPod Nano, an iTouch, and my iPhone. The iPhone will give some message about not being compatible and will ask whether or not you want to go to airplane mode. I always dismiss the message as the phone still works when connected to the Kensington transmitter. I hope this helps.

Hello: as far as I know it only works with Apple products, I use it with my IPod and iPad, and also can play from my PC using ITunes. I tried my android devices they don't work, i believe you need to have Air Play in your device and so far the only ones the have Air Play are the Apple kind. No Bluetooth, I tried that too. I hope this answers your question.

Hi.It doesn't work with iPhone or PS4.They said it would before, but now they want more money.I've tried connecting it with my PS4 and nothing happened.http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS4-General/Sony-Bluetooth-Headset-on-PS4/td-p/20304985

It works great out side the car as a speaker phone and for music/podcasts.I use it this way all the time. You can use it while it is charging too. It is a challenge to hold the unit without pressing one of the buttons.I have mine paired with an iPhone 5s and it works great. I have never been able to make the FM transmitter work as well as its predecessor did. The built in speaker is generally loud enough that its not needed.

OK, so this is a really old post right now, but maybe someone is looking for the information.Any FM transmitter in LA is going to be so-so. There are simply so many FM stations in LA that it's hard to use a transmitter without interference. If you are driving in your car there will be several times where you will need to fidgit with the settings. It can get really annoying. So, will it work? Probably. Will it be stable or enjoyable? Probably not.

Hi. I only use my iPhone and it works really nice w it. I only use the next and volume buttons and they respond pretty well. Love bought it only so I can listen to playlists on my rides. Enjoy if you buy!

I use the Bluetooth feature all the time. It works seamlessly with my iPhone. Just pair your phone with the receiver once, then whenever you want to listen to audio from your iPhone change the source to Bluetooth. Works for any audio your iPhone plays: music, audio books, audio from videos. Also it works pretty well for phone calls.

No built in transmitter to the Car Radio. Without the car Aux port you could only charge the i-device. Look around amazon because they make this one in a model that comes with an FM Transmitter. I actually own that one too before I had a car with an Aux port.

Does anyone with an iPhone have experience with using this product? I, like the original questioner, need this device just for media/music. My car's Bluetooth is set up for Phone calling/receiving. Apple iPhone does not allow you to set up "Phone only" and "Media only" profiles for Bluetooth like Android does. I'm curious to hear from someone who has used this and owns an iPhone.

Yes, this will work with an iPhone. Just used it on another road trip. Worked great. Very pleased with it. As per my original review, I found that the sound quality got better after using it a few times.

I have only used this item with Android phones and it works great and has a super clear sound. Not sure it work as well with the IPhone. I use to have a work phone (Iphone) that I had paired up to it for work fine but I did take me awhile to get it paired up. I had and Iphone 4 at the time. Not sure if the newer phone are just not compatible with the device.

Should, connect, but can be an FM frequency challenge. I actually returned mine. Even in southern delaware where there are not a lot of high powered radio stations, I got a lot of interference and need to switch frequencies. For the same price, about, I bought a usb ready receiver to replace to manufacturer unit in my 97 miata. Plug the iPhone in with a lightning cable and rock on. Control from the head unit or the phone. Charges at the same time. �

The Unit will only communicate with an apple product listed in the user manual (pg.61). I have had this stereo for about 4 years and it is Phenominal. The one and ONLY drawback is that it hasn't been updated to communicate with current IPHONE/IPOD models. I have an old 4th Gen IPOD that I use and it is perfect.

You have to buy the one for IOS. These only work with apps to control the software, without it this will not work. You need to set the FM frequency to use it and that is the only way to do it. It may work for a little but it does not work great all the time even with their suggested tips on settings. Do not expect too much because these devices have terrible sound quality, even though they claim to have the best technology when it comes to this. I couldn't stand mine so I threw it in the garbage.
