Will I be able to play music and charge if connected via USB? Also, will my steering wheel controls work if I am connected via USB?

I have not tried usb, I use aux 3.5 mm audio Jack. I can use steering wheel controls.

I only use the up/down controls on my steering wheel to select music on my Iphone. So I only go forward or backward through the playlist that I selected using my Iphone. It odes show the songs, artist,etc.. I have used the controls on the radio to select various options but it is complicated and I would not do that if I was driving. I usually select a playlist on my Iphone, then start a song in that playlist. Then I select SAT and IPOD Bluetooth on my stereo either using the buttons on my stereo or the source button on my steering wheel. There are menus you can download off the internet that compliment the original user guide. The Isimple I use is in a 2009 LEXUS RX350. Bye the way, I have a new Toyota Camry that has built in Bluetooth. It doesn't do much more than the Isimple.

Bluetooth work good. Watch out for the steering wheel control. It ll stop working after some time. I contact the seller. He told me to do master reset which I did couple of times but didn't work. Apart from that it works great.

The USB does play songs. As for charging, I don't know. I haven't tried it.

From the looks of it yeah. All this adapter needs is a power source and to be able to plug into the antenna plug for your stereo. You wont be able to control it via the stereo or steering wheel buttons but you should be able to connect it just fine.

My husband hooked this unit up according to the instructions provided and all my steering wheel controls work just fine. Based on the radio/cd car unit I purchased, I do not have the option where you can set the volume to go up or down according to how fast I am driving. Hope this helps

I can't see why this won't work w steering wheel. My issue was this won't fit with my case on my phone...and my case is not big deal. Also, I don't believe you can use this as a phone if you are listing to music plugged in this way. I believe since you have a 4 series you should have many better options, bluetooth, thumbdrive download...if you are using it for music.

Honestly I'm not sure yet. I just received this unit last week and haven't had a chance to install it yet. They claim that the steering wheel controls will work but you have to manually set them up through the start-up menu. I'll keep you posted as soon as I have completed the installation.

It sure does work with factory steering wheel controls. You will have set it up in settings menu. It also is compatible with Bluetooth . You can link your phone to the radio system.

This is not for the lighting connector but. My car also has a usb connecter that work fine and allows steering wheel control.

Yes it charges. But the plug in in the back of the stereo so you'll have to buy an adapter and have your installer put it in the front. You also need a special me wood chord to play the music through usb. Otherwise it won't work. I just plugged in a aux Chord into the back of the stero and pulled in in the front for a aux input otherwise you'll need a special chord from ken wood to play music through usb. And no the buttons change them selves constantly.

I haven't tried to play music through usb yet, but it does come with a headphone style jack for music input, and I can confirm that the usb port will charge devices. I should get some .wma and .mp3 files and try then on my phones external storage setting...

Mathew, Apparently this car player has the capability to get conected wired to a Steering wheel control, but not sure if it can get connected to a universal control or to the built in car control.. I dont have Steering wheel control on my car so I can't assure you of that. Sorry

It does work with steering wheel controls , but If you have a BOSE system, like I do, this will not be strong enough to provide sound to your car.

I have a 2012 CTS and a Gen 1 iPod touch. Steering wheel controls and head unit work without any problems. Sort by artist, alphabetical songs, etc. Also randomizes via touch screen, which I assume you are referring to as Head Unit.
