Has anybody used this on later models? I just got a 2013 Miata with a Non bose radio. I was little dishearted that there was no USB port for music.

I have 2006 Miata with non bose radio and it works just fine, and i'm pretty sure that 2013 model is not that different. Hope you find it helpful

This totally depends on the wattage output of the head unit itself. Is this the stock head (either standard or factory upgrade) or aftermarket? If it's an aftermarket head, then it will probably push the these speakers fine (which is how we are running ours in a Miata). If from the factory, you'll need to find out what the output actually is and check this against what these speakers need to work acceptably; this information is no doubt available online, but a dealer should also be able to easily look this up.

It didnt work on my infiniti m35x. It also didnt work at all on a bose 30 pin home dock. I dont know if it was just broken or just a pos. My phone recognized it but nothing played. So ill try another cheap option. I wouldn't buy it again obviously.

Does your car have the USB port right next to the aux in? If so it should. I use mine in a 2010 Forte.

My car stereo has a USB input on the front. I would like to use this to transmit audio from my phone to the car stereo via this USB dongle. Is this one what did? Did it work?

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

Not familiar with the the Bose-Wave but by the pictures I looked up on the internet I do not see a USB port but if it is equipped with one it should work in conjunction with the Aux-Port.

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?

Do work for me, on a few cars..If you with transfer mean playing music from the AK240.Do not think you can do file copy over Bluetooth to internal storage if you have that on the music system in the car.Also its about protocol compatibility, if your car is very old, it will maybe not work (A2DP) support should the music system have.Bluetooth 4.0-compatible (A2DP, not recommended for files with sampling rates greater than 48kHz)So happy listening. :)

I have an aftermarket Sony stereo and had to remove it from the dash to gain access to the antenna connection. The antenna connector is on the back of the radio. There may be a connector that must be removed from the unit or antenna cable (no tools required) to allow this to plug in to the back. Mine wasn't apparent at first but I finally figured it out. Hope this helps.

I have a question for you as you have used the Inno for 2 years. In the car, can the Inno receive a signal in standalone form without the antenna? My question basically boils down to whether the car kit is necessary because the adapter is not (it can be run off the battery just like if you were walking outside) and I can plug it directly into the auxiliary line in my stereo. So the other thing I would really need is the antenna. Thanks

I did a sync through the micro USB but never tried the music through it since I use the headphone jack in the car, it has a narrow adapter for headphone plug if your headphone jack is too thick....

Works just fine in my 2008 TRD Tacoma. It is JBL radio supported. You may have to soft boot your phone sometimes to get it to sink. Will sink to CD track seven and then I manually move it to track eight to free up the phone. At that point I mostly use it for Pandora and the steering wheel volume control still works. The line in also works on CD nine. If you have an android or some other device using a headset jack

Yeah you can play music using your cars speakers, that's how I use it because my car doesn't have the axu input. It brings a aux plug it's just that's it's short so you might want to buy a longer one but it's great it works fine I have bought 3 of these for different vehicles and it works great on all 3.

Make sure the cable is fully inserted in the MMI, that's what happened to me. Also make sure your thumb drive doesn´t have any type of security and that it contains valid mp3 files. Other than that you could have gotten a faulty cable. The cable works great on my 2013 Audi Q5 which I suspect should be de same audio system (not completely sure).

I have purchased 2 of these car stereo's and am thinking of a 3rd. The USB port works great with my wife's ipod nano 5th generation, and my ipod touch. This is a great aftermarket car stereo. The CD player works great. The volume adjustment is not as quick as a factory radio. What I mean is that it takes longer to turn up the volume; however there are more volume levels that can be utilized.

The device is pre-programmed to work for certain vehicles. Mine worked for my 2007 Speed 3 and would not work on another car. I am not sure if they make this tuner for the miata platform. You should be able to search and find a suitable tuner.
