new decks with usb/bluetooth

can you feed music from your phone to a bluetooth deck?
and what exactly is the usb ports for on the new decks?

sorry i've been kind of out of the loop for a while on decks.

You can pair anything that is bluetooth compatible with the deck, provided that what you're pairing it with can perform the same functions. As for the USB, you can hook up and external HDD and use that to store all your music.

Thanks,

so lets say I want to use my Ipod Touch with a bluetooth adapter, will I be able to play all my music that way?

You should be able to. You can also use a flashdrive to store music on.

No shit? I've got a healthy 80 gigs of music I wouldn't mind having with me all the time... Maybe it's time I upgrade the radio in the Cobalt. lol... Is this USB offered on most head units or only select few?

I want to say its only on kenwood decks. I think thats what it use to be but may be different now.

My brother has a new kenwood unit with usb input. We use a flashdrive. Super nice feature to have. Im going to buy a new head unit for my civic just so I can have the usb input.

Oh yea. My buddy has a new high end pioneer. Its a double din dvd. It also has usb input along with SD card drive.

Some of the higher end Alpines have them also. The only thing is that you can't have a HD that's powered through the USB cord, the HU doesn't have enough power, it's gotta be plugged into a power outlet.

No you cannot play music through blue tooth. I have a kenwood and i can only talk on the phone through it. I tried to play music and i just was not happening.

So you can't hook ipod into the usb port? =/

You should be able to.

I've read in some places you cant, guess I need to verify it
