Does the dock also route the phone's audio through the USB port? (similar to the Droid RAZR's car dock)

No. This feature is not available with this dock. Other docks provide this feature with the S4 with the aid of proprietary software. Motorola has better dock integration than Samsung.

You need a separate aux audio cable to do this. You can also use the Bluetooth option if your car has this feature

This one does NOT route audio. If you want that capability, purchase the product that I mentioned in my review of this one. (make sure you select the USB version that is out there)

It does come with a cable to charge the phone. It does not, however, come with any type of aux connection. So I originally had to plug a separate aux cord into the line out/headphone jack on the phone to get audio on my car stereo. But now that I have a car with streaming bluetooth, the aux issue is well, not an issue. It is an excellent car dock minus the seemingly missing piece and looks really good too! Lots of compliments (which is funny to say about a car dock). Good luck!

It's not a dock, but has a USB port from which you could charge any phone and a 3.5mm line in for audio if for some reason you don't want to use Bluetooth for audio.

Yes. The dock will not interfere with using Bluetooth devices, like the adapter.

Yes, but using the normal charging cable for the device itself. You route the wire through the dock. Charging cable not provided. Only power for sound and stereo wire.

You can plug an audio line to the tablet directly, since it's headphone jack is not blocked by the dock.

No. The USB connection only seems to work with iPods/iPhones, etc. And the dock connection only works with the newer-model iPod/iPhones.

Not that I'm aware of. We have always plugged directly into either the dock or the speaker. I haven't attempted to see if any of the three frequencies to which you can connect the dock and speaker to each other can pick up any other devices.

The one I got does not have a dock. The usb port is only for charging. It has two ways to get audio in, either bluetooth or a standard audio cable.

Not really, you can do it by sharing an internet connection, but the dock won't help that. It's mainly for charging, hdmi, and USB. You can share through USB I'm pretty sure, but WiFi is better. It's still VoIP though.

I use it with the original Razr Maxx. It supposed to work with the Razr, but have not used it. I don't have any experience with the newer HD models and can't say if the dock will work.

Yes. I have a Droid RAZR with commuter series otter box, and it docks just fine.
1038864
Yes. The headphone jack for the tablet is on the opposite end of the dock connection. The dock itself has no audio connection, but HDMI sends audio.

it depends on what you are asking. Will the audio work over bluetooth? Or will the phone work over bluetooth? Most of the functionality of the dock is in the app. Depending on your use it may or may not do what you want. I used a 3rd party app to manage the bluetooth called SoundAbout. I would do a google search for Samsung Galaxy S4 and SoundAbout. Good luck.

No. This takes the audio from your phone, but it then routes it to the radio via an AUX jack. If your car doesn't have one of those, this won't work for you.

No. It's made to connect to a lightning connector on a dock, etc and then hook it to your phone.
