If this is turned off/bluetooth disconnected, will the radio work as before? I still want to be able to use cassettes/FM when not synced to BT.

Yes. Its simply a matter of.changing the input from whatever station you program to receive the bluetooth to cassette. . Some radios automatically change to cassette deck upon inserting a cassette.tape others ya just push a button. So yes, you'll be able to liaten to your cassette tapes.

Yes, when the ISFM21 is turned off, it has a pass-through function that still allows you to listen to AM/FM radio. The ISFM21 shouldn't have any effect on cassette CD or XM since it only uses FM transmission.

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

yea the radio works without service... I haven't connected this particular phone to my PC yet since my research showed me that the proper drivers for it haven't been made for it to connect to a PC since this company is still in its infancy with mobile devices. you run the risk of it freezing on you. if you have another device that can send the files via blutooth or access to wifi I'd advise you to wait to connect to a PC until the proper drivers are updated for this device. That one thing aside yes if you manage to get the files on the device they will work, and all you need for the radio is ear buds. best of luck yea the radio works without service...

You would have to remember to unplug it each time you turned the car off. It would stay on. I do believe the Bluetooth goes dormant after 5 mins or so.

No. The only BT device that works with this radio is the MS-BT100. It only allows you to pause, play, FF, song display etc from your smartphone ONLY! It renders those buttons on your radio itself useless. The only thing you will be able to control from the radio face is the volume basically turning that 5" radio on your dash into nothing more than a volume button. Before this I had an iPhone 4s that worked great with the 30 pin adapter but after upgrading to the iPhone 6 this is my only option. If you have a iPhone 5 or later buy a fusion radio that is comparable with the MS-bt200 thus allowing you full control of your music from the radio dash.

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.

It works independent of bluetooth. Just press and hold the center button for a second, the frequency changes, then tune the radio to the new frequency. It is seamless.

No on off and no sync button. It powers on with the radio and off with radio. It sends out Bluetooth signal and any device that will sync to Bluetooth will sync right up with this. This device works flawlessly. It's simple to install maybe 10 minutes and syncs in seconds to and Bluetooth device.

Dear Vin, Thank you for your inquiry. When you activate your bluetooth function on your portable device and it is paired with the receiver, it will automatically turn on the receiver. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

It has a button to turn the Bluetooth on. But once BT is on you can not turn it off using the same button, you will have to turn the speakers off/on to turn off BT.

Hmmmm. Weird. It won't work if any other devices that have paired with it have their blue tooth on and not even connected. There's no reset.

I've never updated the firmware on the Bluetooth adapter but thanks for the idea! I'm running the bt300 on a kvt514 deck and the problem I have with my iphone is that I always have to connect to the bt300 from my phone. Never had to shut down the deck though. Try the firmware update sorry for not being much help

You would need to actively turn it off and un-pair from the bluetooth devices.

You will only need to pair it once. I have mine paired with the tv and bt earphones. I can turn both the tv and the earphones off and the will re pair once I turn them back on. You should have no problem with yours.

You need to turn it on with the switch. Once you do that it will connect to the last bluetooth device it was connected to. In case if you leave it on and it goes in standby sometimes you need to press the switch on the front side. So far I was able to connect it automatically although I used it for home purpose and not in car.

While it does when bluetooth is left on (it takes about 30 seconds for this to work) I do not leave my bluetooth on when away from my car. It wastes the battery. I recommend going into bluetooth settings during the walk to the car to connect as soon as your phone finds the MPOW.
