If I play music through the USB cable, do I need to navigate music through the reciever, or could I choose music directly from the iphone?

As far as I've tried, you can only skip to the next song, go back and fast forward. You can also choose music directly from your phone.

I have not experienced this with my iPhone. I just reconnect it via Bluetooth devices and begin playing music. I cannot speak to android as I do not own any android devices.

Yes, through the USB/charge cable supplied with the iPhone. It also charges the iPhone while playing music.

I have an iPhone and I can control the volume either by the music play list on my phone or through the phone volume control. If you have degraded low bit rate music it will play low for that song. I need to clean up my music selection.

The only way I know of to transmit music from an Apple device is via a Blue Tooth enabled transmitter. There are some on the market. However, when a music signal is transmitted via Blue Tooth it's sound quality is sacrificed to some degree.

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.

Yes, either via the remote or by pressing a button on the top of the unit. When I move from CD to USB, it takes a moment to connect with my Iphone before it can play, but the switch is easy as pie.

Not sure what you mean by "charge" in this case. This receiver supports "Air Play" which will allow you to use your iPhone to play music through the receiver. I believe that the iPhone 5 is supported. I have a 4S and iTunes seems to support this as well. I suspect if you have the latest version of iTunes (which you need for your iPhone 5 IIRC) you should get what you want.Ignoring all of the above, if you are asking about using the USB port to charge your iPhone I have no idea.

The USB port is only compatible with apple products. But there is an sd card slot which you can play music from.

I don't have an iPhone and have not used that feature, so the answer to your question is - I don't know. But there is a common connection for iPhone, a video, and USB device. I use the USB connector for playing music and works well.

Probably not. This is for playing audio from an iPhone into another device through the mini jack, while also powering the iPhone. Depending on your computer settings, you may only need a stereo male-male cable with mini jacks on each end. One end comes out of your player headphone output and the other end goes into your computer mic input. If you want to go into your USB port, you'll need a USB audio interface cable like an iRig.

For iTunes music to play, you need an application to drive it. Since the USB drive doesn't have an OS, I don't see how you can do that. Personally I use an iPod instead just for this.

That is up to you. It works both ways. I like using my iPod Classic to control music. When using the stereo, you are limited on searching for music. I have to say the USB port works very well. I love it. Sometimes just load up a USB memory stick plug it in and enjoy the sounds.

I do not use that feature. I have tried the USB feature on several devices didn't like the lack of options so I only use mp3 players. Not having a choice of play lists and shuffle is not an option for me. As for the unit being a POS as suggested by another poster I haven't had a problem with it. It's a cheap no frills amplifier, it plays stereo. I have a high end receiver for other applications but in my shop this is perfect. It's been on for months and plays music 12 hrs a day.

yes, the bluetooth is in a different input, you can play music from your iphone or any device that has bluetooth connectivity

The charging connector is for iphone 4 and older, so no charging or music in the dock. You can still play music through the headphone jack and cable. There is an adapter available for the iphone 5 and 6 but at least last time I checked it allowed charging but no audio.

I could stream music that was on my iPhone to the iReceiver. I could not stream music from Pandora etc. Hope this helps.
