No, it will read "no source found" or similar when you try and play the music files from your phone. You can only plug a flash drive into the USB port to play music that way; bit of a disappointment to me as the bluetooth is only so-so in my opinion.

The USB port is meant for USB flash drives(aka USB stick or thumb drive), not external hard drives or other devices it would seem. But if you have a 3.5mm(1/8") axillary cable(if not, they're usually only a few bucks), then you could plug it in through the headphone out on your phone, and into the green plug on the back. Of course doing it this way means using the phone to control the music, just like you would if wearing headphones.

Hi C.L.Let me ask you: how do you intend to play music while it's charging? Without an AUX port there is no way to physically connect the phone to the cars speakers. You can certainly use Bluetooth while charging, or play music via the phone speakers, but the audio input pictured here is for connecting via Aux port.This 2-in-1 charger does not have an AM/FM transmitter which would allow you to play music over a radio frequency on your radio, and this is what you may need if you have no physical connection port or Bluetooth connectivity.

No its not connected until you turn on your ear piece if you turn it off its paired still but not connected also if plugged in to your USB charger it does turn off but I highly recommend you turn it off before charging it

If its just a charging port, no. My car also has another USB connector in my glove box and that is also connected to my Aux in my radio. I hope I answered your question.

Plugging in the headphones disables Bluetooth. The connection is restored automatically once the wire is disconnected. I don't think receiving a cellphone call while listening to music via the laptop will work. Pausing music to take calls on the phone while listening to music on the phone works with one press of a button though.

Yes, just like any USB. You can play from your phone through bluetooth also. This unit has awesome sound for its size.

Should be able to. I listen to music via a thumb drive in the front USB port, and receive calls from my iPhone at the same time. The music fades out and resumes when the call ends.

Its Bluetooth compatible with my cell phone . I can talk through cb speakers and call out through cb speakers.When you talking on cb and your bluetooth compatible cell phone rings the cb auto goes to phone call through cb.Giving you hands free capabilty to use your cell phone through CB radio. Now for radio I really dont know what you wanting to do through radio.

there is a short cord attached to the unit that plugs into the headphone jack on your phone. the usb cord is strictly for power. no bluetooth. this is the best fm tranmitter ive had, and i am pretty hard to please.

My experience is that the USB is only used to POWER the device, not to actually transfer music data. To hear the music you have to use the headphone port on the opposite side and plug THAT into a "line in" on the car stereo. If you don't have a "line in" on your stereo, this product is probably not for you. Cheers.

Not sure what you mean. The radio works off of regular power or batteries. Your device (phone or iPod) connects via Bluetooth, but this radio does not charge the phone or iPod.

I have an iphone 5, so I do not know what your connections are like, but if you can recharge with a USB port, then I would say you can use this radio, and it is also a bluetooth.

The USB will use an external cable that you will have to run from the back of the unit to wherever you would like to plug into. But, once you plug into it, it charges your phone pretty well. So if you don't plan on listening to music via USB, than save yourself some trouble and just use the cigarette lighter. The unit is a very nice piece overall though. Hope I was helpful.

It works for me. I don't have a smart phone either. My phone is Bluetooth, and when the phone rings it mutes the radio or my Zune. My daughter has an iPhone that she plugs into the usb and it also mutes when a call is made or received. Hope that helps.

You will need to be connected either by docking your device or by bluetooth. It will stop playing when you disconnect.

I personally have not tried to do that, however the way i set my radio up you cannot access the rear port after everything is closed back up. But you still have the USB port on the front as well, hope this helps

Nope. Just your phone needs to be able to connect to Bluetooth. The transmitter goes off the radio.
