Will the USB ports work for Android phones? If not, is Aux only option? What about bluetooth? Thank you.

BT streaming works great and is probably the better option. Fewer wires to get tangled, less stress on the USB sockets in the unit and phone when the phone slides around on the seat, etc. If the phone supports MTP (android >= 4.x if I remember correctly) it looks like it will try to use that. If you're on froyo/gingerbread you'll likely have to export the card from the Notifications bar; exporting is suboptimal for a couple of reasons.

Fyi - The sound quality through the Aux port will be much better than with bluetooth. Bluetooth has a bit of noise in the background that you won't get with the Aux plugin.

According to write-up it should work fine through either the USB port or through the BLUETOOTH connection for your Android phone, but I have not tried. Works great for iphone. For iphone there is also an App you can also download (same controls as on the remote). Probably have same App for Android as well. Sound quality is very good. Have it in a small room mounted high on wall so need remote to control it. Sound quality is amazing and like the fact that can adjust sound unlike Bose which is fixed. Only complaints I have is that it does not have battery backup, thus if there is a power outage other than wifi which comes back on just fine you need to reset the radio stations. Second problem would be that it would be nice if it could same Iheartradio stations or other internet radio stations as part of the six pre-sets similar to the Bose.

The USB port is only for charging. You need bluetooth or 3.5mm audio port in order to play your music.

Does anyone with an iPhone have experience with using this product? I, like the original questioner, need this device just for media/music. My car's Bluetooth is set up for Phone calling/receiving. Apple iPhone does not allow you to set up "Phone only" and "Media only" profiles for Bluetooth like Android does. I'm curious to hear from someone who has used this and owns an iPhone.

You can plug your android phone by the included aux cord . That's how I do it , and controls from your phone

I have an android phone and it works fine with that, my only problem with it is keeping it in my ear. I've lost one for that reason so don't forget you have it on.

I'm not positive but I'm fairly sure this won't adapt Android devices to iPhone/iPod speakers/radios because the radio expects to "talk" to an iPhone, and the Android "talks" differently. Source: I'm a software developer. If your radio has an 'audio in' jack you might be able to get a cable from the headphone jack on the Droid to the 'audio in' jack on the radio. That's worked for me in many cases but not 100% - my girlfriend's Sony iPhone radio didn't like it.

I used for an iPhone. Didn't try for android. But they sound awful. Keep away.

Yes, it has a USB port and an aux port (I think) - I've never used it because I just use the Bluetooth, but there are ports there. It puts out a really nice sound and has a clean modern look. We use it primarily in our daughter's nursery. Hope this helps you!

Good question. No. The USB is for charging only. You must use Bluetooth for functionality.

The USB port on my stereo hasn't worked properly from the beginning. With the Bluetooth I can answer yes! Also with the aux port it will too.

It has both an AUX and a USB port, USB is for iphone only though. And it should work with any car as long as you buy the right dash kit for your model/year of car

My son, who has the Headphones uses an ipod with his and does not know how an android device would work. Sorry that I don't have a better answer for you.

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

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.

I don't believe this model supports bluetooth at least not to my knowledge or it doesn't have a setting for it but it does have RCA inputs on the back so I suggest getting a Y cable (red and white audio to headphone jack male to male). I use that and it works great for my phone. There is a USB on the front but pretty sure that only works for USB flash drives or a good method to charge your android/other devices via USB while playing. The headphone jack is for audio out only no audio in.
