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?

The receiver has no problem communicating with the iPhone...it recognizes the device as soon as it's plugged in. In short, it works.

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.

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.

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.

You need aux cable to play music, lightning connector will charge, but if you don't plug aux cable then music will only play through phone speaker and not car's

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

Docking only charges. To play music from an iPhone through the radio's speaker a permanent cord which is attached to the underside of the radio must be connected to the iPhone's headphone socket. The sound quality is much improved coming from the radio's speaker.

I have a Pioneer stereo in my truck that can play music from my iPhone using the usb cable. In order for me to do that with this case attached, I have to press the power button on the case (so that the phone is being charged by the case). When I do this, I am able to play music from my iPhone through the stereo's usb cable.

I use the Spotify app on my iPhone and connect it to the JVC via Bluetooth. You have to start Spotify using the iPhone, but once it's running, you can skip through songs using the receiver or remote. You also have to use the iPhone to switch albums or playlists. I haven't tried it with a USB connection though.

Hi there, Good news! I just went in and checked. It will play your music via doc or USB. We love ours! They are awesome. Compact, good sound, good design. I can charge my iPad and iPhone: genius.

I connect easily through bluetooth with my iphone. Just go to settings and bluetooth 'on', then select your music to 'play'...it should play over the headset now. Hope that helps!

Your I Pod or I pad plays the music from I tunes. your music will play from your devices while it's docked and charging though.

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. You can use your iPod or iPhone to select/control the music; OR you can do it through the radio; OR with the included remote.

I haven't tried to play music through usb yet, but it does come with a headphone style jack for music input, and I can confirm that the usb port will charge devices. I should get some .wma and .mp3 files and try then on my phones external storage setting...

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.

Yup. Unplug green built in cable. Connect crappy iphone with male to male aux (headphone) cable. Not all songs work good but its nice having the option to check.

Yes. It plays through the headphone jack and also has a USB port to connect your power / charger. If you are charging AND playing music you have two cords connected to your iPhone 5.
