    Q
    Does the USB accept playback from Android phones? And can I control the music from the phone, or do I have to use the buttons on the head unit?

    I use it with my iPhone all the time (as well as generic flash drive). Once I plug them in, however, I have to control them from the stereo. Not sure about Android, but assume that anything usb should work fine.

    All I ever plugged into it was an old iPod. It only let me change the songs with the head unit. But it could be different for a phone.

    Q
    I just bought the same unit primarily for it's clean design. My only issue is that with an iPhone 5 the song titles on the display don't update. Display is stuck on the first title played. With an iPhone 4s this issue does not exist. Do you have a chance to test your unit with an iPhone 5? I was hoping this can be fixed with a software update, but I'm not seeing any on Blaupunkt's website. Thanks

    I use an iPhone 5 & have never had this problem. Maybe an Apple update could fix this?

    Unfortunately, I have yet to even install my unit. I was planning on doing so this week however. I do have the iPhone 4S, but I have friends who have the 5 and 5s so I'm sure I will have a chance to mess around with both.

    I have not used this with the Iphone 5

    Martin S, Wish I could help you but I do not have an iPhone 5. Sorry. Try the Menu button and scroll through to Source and check any options. Best of luck.
