I have a 32 GB flash drive plugged into mine & I control everything from the unit itself. It just has to be set on source "USB". I've also had a 64 GB flash drive in it with NO problem. I've been using it like that for over 2 years. I've never tried it with an mp3 player as I can get everything I need from the flash drive!!!

yes when u have a ipod/mp3 player plugged in you have to use the ipod/mp player to change songs. you also have to make sure the volume is up on the ipod or no sound will come out of your head unit. i have a flash drive in my usb with over 150 songs but when using a flash drive you use the head unit to control everything.

I've only used a flash drive so far and that is controlled by the head unit. It should automatically go to the head once you plug it in, under auxillary

This device is just an extender that relocates AUX and USB connections from the back of the head unit.AUX: yes. USB: depends on the head unit. The USB connection on my head unit is designed for iPod/iPhone devices. I can also plug in a thumb drive and the head unit recognizes music files.

All control would be through the Iphone. We run a 3.5mm to RCA connector from phone to amp and then power speakers from there. All volume and power controls are from the phone or Ipod. Hope this helps.. There are some other products out there that would go between the phone and the amp, but we keep it simple..

Yes, via bluetooth. If you want iPod functionality, expect to spend another $100 on the lightning cable and another $100 for steering wheel controls if you want that. Now the cost, has almost doubled.

Mine was missing the iPod cable that plugs into the main unit, but new iPods can plug into a USB cable that plugs into the USB port. HOWEVER, the usb cable does not provide much or a charge, nor does it provide a full on-sreen control experience, so make sure they include the full ipod adapter cable if you want real ipod control. Overall, AMAZING :)

yes. this cable has usb for data and 1/8" audio jack. the USB portion allows your head unit to connect with your ipod so that you can control the ipod through the car's head unit. enjoy!

Yes,...i do it all the time...I too have stopped using ipod. i just use a $6 cable from back of unit to top of my Android....set the unit to AUX (rather than ipod or FM)...and enjoy! It doesn't fit perfectly, but i lean it up and it's great. I'm happy.

Unit works through dashboard controls. Loudness seems normal, I never tried changing the volume of the iPod.

You can control it through both but mainly through the iPod or iPhone. There is limited functionality through the cars radio. I can advance songs on a playlist and skip around but it does not show me what is playing.

If you use an FM transmitter, like those from griffintechnology.com, yes - it works the same. No iPod does this right out of the box, they all need an accessory to transmit the music to the car stereo. Or, you can take the more effective route and get an Alpine or Pioneer car stereo that offers direct connection to the iPod via the Alpine KCA-420i - this provides a dock connector and allows the car stereo to directly control the iPod. I upgraded my wife's car stereo for her birthday to an Alpine with the KCA-420i and the sound is AMAZING... far better than using an FM transmitter.

I plug my ipod classic into the rear USB, and the head unit controls it. It also keeps it charged. The front USB does not keep it charged.

I have an older model. Have u tried Bluetooth? Maybe newer model Caddy's Bluetooth both phone and music capabilities. Otherwise the aux connect will allow the iPod to play and control the music without Cadillac controls.

no problems so far. I cant really tell you about the ipod control, since i dont have an ipod....but if its anything like the bluetooth audio its control is through the unit. btw this HU is amazing.

The unit doesn't have an outlet for headphones. You can plug your headphones/earbuds to your iPad/iPod,or iPhone while their docked to the unit and listen to your content in private.

The volume is controlled by your phone or tablet. The speaker just has on/off. I use mine playing music from my tablet with bluetooth. I have not tried using my ipod with the direct plug yet.

Scott, the unit is specifically equipped to use an iPod/iPhone connection and control the music app of the Apple device. The supplied cable would not handle anything else. It does, however, have an auxiliary 1/4 input for plugging in another device. A USB flash drive would not operate on it.

I think the USB only charges the unit. I have only successfully played sound with the aux
