Does this support Spotify? Does it allow me to control Spotify functions through the head unit? And does it show the song meta data on the head unit when playing through Spotify? Thank you

Yes, Spotify works fine. Shows song data and you can control playback from the head unit.

No it doesn't, it supports exactly what it says on the box. iheart, aha, pandora and bt wireless and does support meta data for those services.

It works with Pandora, Spotify and other music apps. I don't have your running app but it doesn't interact, aside from notifications, with any of my running apps.

I use the ECHO to control the music from the APP Map My Run, Walk, Fitness, etc and this is the app that actually controls the music and it only seems to pull playlists and music from iTunes. If you use a different running app with the ECHO it might work. The ECHO really is more of a display monitor for the app that is running on your phone it doesn't do anything on its own.

This has nothing at all to do with your cart radio and add such well not help you stream Music via BT. This device connects to the car or truck through the OBD2 (On Board Diagnostics) interface port and allows your phone to communicate with the cars computer system for diagnostics. This will not assist you in playing music, for that you would need to buy an aftermarket radio with BT capability or there is the option of buying one of the little devices that plug into your phone headphone jack and put out the music to an FM frequency that you can then tune the car stereo to.

Via bluetooth - audio playback, previous/next buttons, and current artist/song display (SPP) works in some applications. Also, make/answer calls, and it may support the phonebook (i don't know)Via USB (if the phone can mount as a mass storage device) - browse folders, play songs or playlists.Pandora mode - No. (you can play music from pandora over bluetooth, but you cannot change station or thumbs up/down from the head unit).AppRadio/Advanced App mode - No (not for me at least).

I was able to control the music with my phone when I hooked it up to the head phone plug. I havent tried it with the usb. I used a usb drive for music and it works great. If you used one of those shorty ones it sits nicely like It's part of the stereo.

The device has six, and only six, buttons to select from. That means it can readily play only six selections unless you tweak things from your computer. It will be interesting to see how it handles Spotify, which ordinarily allows you to select from a near-infinite selection of music. A modification of the Smartphone app might make the SoundTouch do wonders with Spotify. I sure hope Bose figures out how to make it work well with Spotify.

This radio is a pretty old build and is missing most of the features of the newer radios out there. It sounds great and is reliable, but its pretty dependent on the reciva database. If Spotify is a major concern you may want to go with the Logitech Squeezebox, which supports it. https://support.spotify.com/us/problems/#!/article/Logitech

I have one of these as well. I never installed anything to use it. I just plug in a laptop and play spotify with it. We also just plug in our iPods, and use it. I hope this helps.

At the moment the X5 does not have support for any playlists, I asked FiiO a question about playlists and here' their answer "Kindly inform you that, our software engineers are trying to add .m3u playlist into the X5's firmware." I also ran across a thread on head-fi dot org that has FiiO asking the users for input on the requirements, so I suspect they will be coming in the future, but at the moment it can't use or create playlists. **Update 9/14/14*** FiiO has released 2.20 code that has playlist support. I've been using it since beta2.05 and it's worked ok. It's a little rudimentary and you need to edit the m3u files, but it works. Now you can have it's great sound along with playlist support.

I have an Alpine CDE-103BT and a 120 gig ipod. I have installed everything and it only plays through my front speakers and I cannot control the volume, bass and treble. I have the plug to play the ipod through the stereo but controls are limited and I would much rather use this unit (Harmon/Kardon DP 1US). Please help me if you can. I have the joystick and the display already mounted. For that matter, I have the brain mounted to. Like I said, it works, but only with limited controls which defeats the purpose.

I would not count on that. The system is designed to take control of your phone or iPod, and use the GM-designed controls to sift through your music storage. So in my 2011, the display for my iPod when plugged in will show playlists, artists, albums, etc. But it doesn't show podcasts. I can play the podcast by looking for it in the "artist" section, but if I want full control of iTunes and streaming and everything else on the phone--I'll just plug the 3.5 aux cable in and control it with my phone. This cable is too short for that. So to summarize, get this to play your music with titles on the screen. Don't expect a full iphone display to suddenly pop up in your car. I would not count on that.

Using my android smartphone with bluetooth, I am able to control basic features of Spotify. However, meta data does not show. Reading Spotify forums this is more likely a Spotify problem than this unit. Older versions of Spotify has worked great with this unit.Using the USB cable into the unit does not make a difference either. Neither does using the aux/in.All other music apps seem to work fine, just Spotify seems to have problems. This Kenwood unit is awesome!

I really don't know but the play/pause button doesn't work as should be... What really do is to pass to the next song so you can't pause anything... Aat least not with the device... Well, thats happens to me, but after all I'm really happy with the device because is really cheap, has many pluses and found only one little problem. That's all I can say about, hope it will help you to make your choice and good luck!!!

Unfortunately this device cannot stream music from either iOS or android. What it can do is utilize an iOS device to control the music. The device that has the capabilities that you are referring to is the Pioneer XDJ- Aero and even with that unit you can only play music off of an iOS device. Android is not supported at this time on any pioneer DJ units.
