The Kenwood app sucks, and isn't worth installing. It only allows you play music stored locally on the phone, and won't work with 3rd party players like Google Play Music, Amazon Music or any podcast or streaming services. The Bluetooth audio streaming works well for all of those things though, and the built in support for Pandora is top notch. It's a great stereo and I've been very happy with it, but the Kenwood app is next to useless, and thankfully isn't required. If you want to try the Kenwood app on your phone before buying, you can get it from the play store, but like I mentioned it is next to useless, and the built in bluetooth audio streaming is superior.

I have the HTC One X Android phone. It does not seems to find the music on the phone. Works fine with my iPod just not my Android phone. This head unit is packed with features, it's just not Android phone friendly. I have not used the blue tooth connection or the mic to test the calling feature. Hope that helps a little!

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.

You can use the plugin for MP3 audio or GPS audio or even a radar detector but the phone needs to use Bluetooth.

I use a USB thumbdrive, but the unit supports bluetooth, so if you're using your smartphone for Spotify, it should work. I haven't tried the bluetooth with my phone yet, but I like the unit fine. Here's a link to the manual on the Kenwood website if you have more questions. Be aware that the manual applies to several models; look at the top of each page to be sure you're looking at info for the 997. http://manual.kenwood.com/ce/im362/NorthAmerica_LatinAmerica/English(en)/IM362_Ref_K_00-25.html

They just released a new version of the Android app that will work with the RFLKT. Your phone still has to have Bluetooth 4.0 such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 etc.The setup with android feels very much beta to me. It took a while and no small amount of fiddling with the apps to get the latest firmware. However once I got everything to work, it has been smooth sailing. Rock solid on rides. No connectivity issues as mentioned in some of the reviews. I put my phone in my back pocket and never give it a second thought.

I use bluetooth to play my music from my iPhone 5, just go to setting enable bluetooth and make sure the Kenwood system is on bluetooth as well.

I am not sure...my phone is allowing me to look for a bluetooth device in order to listen music but the phone never connects to the bluetooth...not sure if it's my phone or the bluetooth.

Sorry, can't help, never used this option. Bluetooth connection works just fine with my HTC One though. The only advice I can offer is, have you fully synced your phone with the headunit, not just connected via bluetooth or USB, but actually synced.

You cannot control the KMC 3 with any device. The speakers comes with a remote control for volume control and some other functions. Technically you should be able to stream MP3 to the KMC 3 via Bluetooth...

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!

If you have Bluetooth you can control the music you listen to from that device. The device has it's own remote control for the functions of the light/speaker.

If you note and android has blueetoth, it will be ok. It also has aux cable where you can connect both directly.
