Wireless streaming radio: Anyone know if this unit will play streaming radio from/through i-tunes?

I've had a set since they came out years ago and any sound that comes from your computer ( including You've Got Mail from AOL) is transmitted ......any sound.....

Yes, you can use I tunes, but you need to adjust the settings. Just Google it and the directions will be there.

Your good. I stream pandora and YouTube to my head unit through bluetooth. I also had a toggle switch to bypass the settings so I can watch DVD when I'm driving(I know bad idea) but I like having the option.

Supposedly this also streams via Bluetooth, if you can actually get it to pair

It will only play audio through airplay. The DLNA services are also audio only

You might need the App to establish which station the music will stream to...

Agree with other answers - the unit does not have built-in Bluetooth. I stream using Airplay from my iPad and it sounds great.

NO the unit does not stream wirelessly, and so it is a misnomer to say it has airplay. You have to have a wired internet cable connected to your network in order to be able to stream music. A regretful purchase. I tried to hook up an older airport, but the version of airport I had did not support having it function as a bridge with ethernet cable to the Harmon Kardon, so I had to go through the hassle of installing an ethernet cable.

No. You cannot play anything through it. You can only stream the services that come on it. They do occasionally update the software with new services. Recently Spotify was added.

Yes it does. I'm wired into into my router and can listen to all stations that stream. It does have wireless capability but I think you need to buy a usb dongle to make that happen.

Yes. I have had success with streaming radio form certain apps. You may have to check the settings on the app to make sure it is set to allow bluetooth headset listening. This model (M20) is by far my favorite bluetooth. I have tried many before. Plantronics puts Motorola bluetooth headsets to shame. Google talk does work with this bluetooth from my Ipad. I have not tried it with my phone though. By the way, always buy bluetooth in "new" condition.

This device does not have build-in app but you if you have an GP or AC app on your mobile/tablet, it should be able to play to this via WiFi connection. I have this and the Sony wireless speakers. I find myself using the Sony speakers 95% of the time since it works with both iOS and Android plus build-in app like slacker, Pandora, etc., and support multi-speakers mode if you have more than one, like a "party mode".

Thanks for your question. You should be able to stream anything you play to it via bluetooth. It's a wonderful sounding unit.

I have to admit that I don't know. You may want to ask JVC that question or if you have that bluetooth dongle, try it out. I don't know if you would need a specific driver for that other dongle you want to use or not -ie if the one in the radio uses something generic-. I don't seem to have any problem streaming from my iPhone or iPod with the dongle that came with the radio. The quality of your streaming may be related to the server of the radio you are streaming for (more so than the bluetooth dongle). I can play some 128kbps radios without sound quality problem provided I have a good data connection. With the engine noise, I don't know how much more HiFi I would need it to be. The only issue that I have is that if you have more than one radio of that type (in multiple cars), they will all show the same ID (but you can still get to connect to each radio provided you remember if it's the first or second one on your list).

The receiver is not a network receiver it is a plain stereo receiver, albeit a good one. If you wanted to receive streamed radio you would have to buy an external wi-fi device with a line level output that would feed into one of the unused line inputs on the tx-8020 i.e. TV, DVD, Tape.

I didn't try, but I think you need to use the AirPlay to use Spotify. Spotify Connect connects via wi-fi router, and not AirPlay.

You have to plug it in. There is no way to wirelessly stream it. It comes with the cord to plug it directly in though.
