Does the display have to be flipped down to use the AUX jack/USB port? E.g. can I still charge my phone AND use my radio?

The usb port and aux ports are on cords that comes out the back. I have mine routed ( with extonsion cables) to a spot under my seat.

The AUX/USB ports are actually on the back so you have to run the cable to somewhere else. But yes, you can charge your phone and use the radio or blutooth while it's charging.

The usb port is on the back of the unit. I got this item for a friend as a gift so I don't remember where the aux jack is. I'm positive a company as good as Pioneer didn't put it somewhere silly, like behind the face plate

1. The display doesn't flip down, it is a detachable faceplate for security purposes to take with you. 2. Yes, if you use a cigarette lighter adapter to charge your phone. If you're referring to the radio charging your phone--check replies of other's.

The faceplate needs to be attached to charge through the USB port. Both the AUX and USB ports are located on the back of the deck. You'll have to run those wires somewhere like your glove compartment or somewhere you can access fairly easily. So yes, you can charge and use your radio, in fact you can play music through both the AUX and USB ports on the back.

You can turn the phone sideways to where the width is taller than the height and have it charge. Or you can completely turn it upside down to charge. But no, you cannot charge it while it is in the normal position, but you can the other 3 ways.

I have to plug my 4s into the speaker upside down useing the earphone port... So while it's plugged in like that I can charge it with the other end. That's the only way to plug your phone up to it by the way.

As long as you have a center dashboard that has no obstructions on the top, you'll be fine. When I got mine I had to make a special mounting bracket that made the radio stick out a little further than normal so there would be no instructions when the screen flipped up.

if you connect your ipod or iphone to the docking station - yes. I'm not sure what it displays if you use the AUX cable - as I have not used that feature.

Good question. I believe the USB port on the front of the radio is for reading music files from a USB memory stick. To double check, I did plug-in a USB cable and tried to charge my phone, with radio both on and off. There was no charging indicated on my smart phone. So I think it's just a passive USB port for inputting music files. Maybe someone else has additional information?

It depends on your case. One of my cases allows me to dock it, the other doesn't. In that case, I use the cord charger. There is a USB port in the back of the radio.

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.

I did not use it that way either. What I had in mind was something to be used as a bedside music MP3 player using flash drives (since that's what I use in vehicles) and a headset with volume control. I think there's supposed to be a control panel but the screen is way too small for my poor eyes. i also picked up an AC adapter to USB power as the batteries are not really very long lasting. If you're going to use it for over an hour I suggest you get the USB power plug as well.

Correct, this is mainly for an Aux input, but it still is a great charger alone ! You could link it to a fm transmitter also.

My phone also has the plug in on the top. Once you download the required software "Fidelio" then it allows for that. (upside down operation) (phone/device application) My device is a droid.

You can use audio cables to hook into the aux input. Or with lightning cable into USB port that is built in. It will charge the phone and do audio through USB. Display shows current song and you can select songs from unit. Buttons are small though

I'd like to know if the reverse is true; can I use my iPod adapter (also 110->5v) to charge my Flip? Anyone? Anyone?

Just received mine and there is no aux input. For ports, it has one mini plug for earphones and one USB for phone charging.

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

The display uses a full sized USB plug, so I cannot plug it into my phone. I don't have a female USB to male micro-USB adapter, so I cannot check. It does not seem likely. Perhaps someone else can help.

No, unfortunately you can't. It will sound so that you know it's in the correct charging position. Sorry about that, I understand that it could get annoying hah
