I just want to screen out conversations. Do I need something else to play the music/ I don't have an I phone

You wont need anything else to play music with these. They work great and were tested on a Samsung and an iPhone. They will work with any computer, radio, mp3, or smartphone for music applications.

I would not count on that. The system is designed to take control of your phone or iPod, and use the GM-designed controls to sift through your music storage. So in my 2011, the display for my iPod when plugged in will show playlists, artists, albums, etc. But it doesn't show podcasts. I can play the podcast by looking for it in the "artist" section, but if I want full control of iTunes and streaming and everything else on the phone--I'll just plug the 3.5 aux cable in and control it with my phone. This cable is too short for that. So to summarize, get this to play your music with titles on the screen. Don't expect a full iphone display to suddenly pop up in your car. I would not count on that.

No, i personally used my android phone to listen to stored music and used the pandora station through it. It has an auxillary outlet so anything through that should suffice.

You can play music off your phone. I uninstalled their app because it's just internet radio and isn't very useful

I don't use I tunes but it will allow it from media played which is obviously native to most of the PC operating, sorry not an apple fan!

If you are asking about playing music without some sort of headset then I would say this: I don't think any phone really sound good. I use either earplugs or I go with wireless speakers. Phone calls are no problem with the sound.

You can listen to music on non apple devices, and the mic will work too, but the in-line controls only work with Apple.

You can with the auxiliary input on the back, but there isn't a cool app for it like with the iOS devices.

yes, you can. however, it seems to work well only on iphone 4 or the versions before. i use it with ipod 5 and the software always hangs. playing it with a i device certainly gives much more fun but i still think playing it without the screen is also very enjoyable. (may sure u have some fully charged batteries and fluorescence light turns off, or the blasters will not take hits.)

If you are using it to download music or play music you've stored in the cloud you will need an internet connection. If you are simply using it as a media player I believe you can use it without an internet connection. To be honest I've found it to be rather bulky and kind've clumsy so I've only used it to download music and then uninstalled the app

You need to use an Apple iOS device or an Android phone. I use my iPod Touch.

It will work without music as well. You just have the play with the buttons.

No, you don't have to go through the tv, it has it's own screen. Yes, karaoke cd+g cd's work in it. Sorry, don't know about the I Pod. Great little machine for the money!

You can call in from an outside phone and listen to messages but not monitor sounds, to my knowledge. The only way it picks up sounds is when you record a greeting.

no you can not. I tried to do that but the best I could do is set the microphone next to my phones speaker to have the music play.

No you still need an aux adapter. This device will let you play without having to hook the aux cord to the phone.
