I use Bluetooth to stream the music from my Android phone. I believe the USB port will help with the iPhone/iPod, etc. as it seems that Parrot Bluetooth has connectivity issues with Apple products. Here's a forum that addresses the topic - http://forum.parrot.com/usa/viewtopic.php?id=15420. I haven't tried using an iPod with this unit, yet. But, I will try one and let you know how it works. Otherwise, this is a great sounding unit and was a huge upgrade over the Clarion head unit that came factory with our boat. Hope this helps.

I have no idea what your question refers to. I use that device to feed my B&O; receiver and it works fine,listening to Pandora, etc. And, if you got a more tech answer,what would you do with it? Get more music? Get less music? What?

I use the same connector I use to hook up my iPod in my car. There's an AUX in on the back of the radio. Works like a charm.

The unit comes with a USB extension cable that gets routed from the back of the unit to where ever you want. Some people route it into their glove box. I have mine come up between my front seats at my center console.

If your talking about IPOD or mp3 player intergration no it does not have the cable, but if your talking about the OEM to keep chimes, beep, warning sound and onstar it does have it but it does not work for some cars and as for other stuff like steering wheel controls or other fancy OEM stuff built in from what I was told you might have to get an PAC adaptor. I would try searching for your vehicle online about aftermarket radio installation, read the car forms, go through online retailer part review or send them email about any questions regarding the part and your vehicle also call them by phone if number is there. I hope this helps in some way and best of luck to you.

I personally have not tried to do that, however the way i set my radio up you cannot access the rear port after everything is closed back up. But you still have the USB port on the front as well, hope this helps

I use the USB cable to connect in my car. That's what I bought it for. I have a much older model and wanted one with more storage for my music. I listen to the music in the car on my way to and from work. I just checked my Nano and it has bluetooth capability but not Wifi. Hope this helps.

The USB is powered, so if you connect this to your stereo per the instructions (by connecting to the rear USB and auxiliary connections on your stereo), the USB will charge whatever device you plug into it. So, if you need to charge your iPod, for example, it will charge. HTH

My car stereo has a USB input on the front. I would like to use this to transmit audio from my phone to the car stereo via this USB dongle. Is this one what did? Did it work?

Haha. MY BAD. I'm an idiot. You do need the cable. You also have to have AppRadio app installed on your phone. It has been awhile since I've used it, I switched to a Galaxy S4 since I purchased the cable, and my head unit doesn't support Android AppRadio. :'(

The ports are mini UBS and headphone jack. I have only used the headphone jack, as the jack on my ipod is incredibly touchy. I have never used the UBS port, so I'm not sure, but I would assume it would support a connection to an external DAC, not sure about the charging. I find most of these devises do allow for charging despite the ipod flashing a message that the device does not allow charging.

The rear USB has a cord that comes with the deck and plugs directly into it, you wind that cord through your dash so that it comes out in a place that you can easily have access to. It's basically a USB extension of the port as the end of the cord is a USB female end. As it is a USB port, anything with that type of cable will work with the deck. So in short, yes, it will work.

&gt; USB provides power and digital quality audio-- no other cables are necessary. This means that it only uses USB cables. So you have to find something to extend USB cables. You could use a USB hub or there are USB extension cables.

I was able to use the auxiliary port to play my android phone. Regarding the USB port, I picked up a cheap mp3 player download my music and plugged it in without a problem. Hope this helps a little. Stan

I dont really understand what your asking it can use pandora and mp3 on the aux and a flash drive in the usb.I mean it depends on what kenwood radio you compare it to...I have this one here and i love it.

The stereo needs to have a CD exchanger in your trunk. The iPod cable then replaces that cable. My car did not have the CD exchanger, but I thought it would have a place for a connector. I was wrong. My stereo can not be directly connected as it had no such connector spot. I returned this device as it was useless to me.
