No, I dont think it can play any mp3 stream. It looks for the channel rather than a web address.david

The only way that could work would be is the streaming device just sends the mp3 etc. usb input or aux input. But this is just a amplifier so unless the streamer can be first setup on a computer. Then plug into usb or aux and if the music is there playing it would work. The usb handles a few formats of music.

Yes you can stream your iTunes music stored on your phone thru Bluetooth to the radio and the signal is fine in open water because your using Bluetooth from your phone to the radio, not a cellular connection.

I agree with the previous post. The Broadcaster will pick-up wifi or Ethernet just fine. I've actually tested my iPhone as a hotspot and it worked. Good luck!

If you have a Bluetooth enabled device you can stream music that way. Be wary though, over time we have had issues with the Bluetooth not syching right away. We have to turn the stereo off and on, then cycle through the various connection options to get to Bluetooth before it will synch. If that sounds like a hassle, the USB port works very well with iPhones and iPods.

I was not able to do video streaming with Bluetooth or USB using an iPhone, audio only. I'm sure anything connected to an HDMI port could do video streaming, but I didn't have anything to check it.

yes.... you can stream any music (itunes, pandora, audiobooks, etc) that's on your iphone to your car stereo.

That's what I was hoping for, but no, not from what I've seen from trying to use it. The issue is that you have to connect to this dongle as a WiFi network of its own, which means you can only play stuff already downloaded onto your device i.e. music or video already on your iPhone, not streaming. I think the Roku stick (coming out this week) is better for what you want to do.

The only way to play your music would be with a AUX connection. USB will not work with iPhone or iPod. I wasn't happy about it.

Hey, I'd email their support team here- support@hirestech.com They got back with me within a few minutes. I asked the same thing about the iphone 5 because the hr II has a funky usb type. The first part of their response may be relevant to you- "There was never any intention of paring a Music Streamer II with an iPhone, our recommendation would be either the iStreamer or the microStreamer (both current models). That said, it is possible to accomplish but not an ideal solution. Here would be the signal chain of such a system: iPhone -&gt; Apple Lightning to USB A Cable -&gt; self powered USB 2.0 hub -&gt; USB A to USB B cable -&gt; Music Streamer II"

Absolutely not It's a simple device with RCA connection only, and poor, proprietary wireless connectivity as I said before. It is meant to be the substitute for Airplay on a non-apple device. Hook it up to your receiver.

I am not an iPhone user, so I can't tell you for sure for any iPhone specific features this unit support. I have an android phone, instead of bluetooth, I simply stream music from the web and play through the radio using AUX in from my phone's ear piece jack.

As far as I can tell, it seems to only work with the iPhone's music. But support for Spotify could be up to the specific app you use to display your runs.

I am assuming you have an Android phone? And yes, you are correct, you can stream music from your phone to this receiver. I do it all the time from my Samsung Galaxy S4.

No, this isn't an iPhone dock, it doesn't charge nor allow the iPhone to control it. Most radios that do that are wildly overpriced because of the "iPhone" connective branding where they have to pay royalties to Apple. You can play any songs from plug in USB drive you export from iTunes, assuming they let you do that.Also - You can plug the iPhone into the aux jack with an audio cable to play through the radio system.

I don't have an iPhone. I do use the speaker with my iPad. I have a patch cord to connect the iPad to the transmitter. The transmitter sends the signal to the wireless speakers. That allows me to play music through Pandora, YouTube, or any other application on the iPad. It wouldn't surprise me if you could do about the same thing with an iPhone.
