I can't play my UBS port in the front of the radio. It will not read. Should I use the USB connection in the back for my port?

Yes the rear USB port works alot better than the one on the front. If it still doesn't want to read your USB than you might want to buy a different one. I've had that happen to me before.

Actually it is NOT a charging port. I have played songs on the USB but have never divided them into playlists so can't help you there. Sorry

I've had the same problem with UNIVERSAL BDs... found these comments, unplugged USB... works! :)

When I hooked mine up, I simply plugged it in and started playing. It was very straight-forward. Sorry I can't be of any more help.

Hello matt, I play Pandora through my iPhone 5, it does not come up as an option on the radio by itself, just your device that you sync to it via blue tooth. You have to launch Pandora through your device. As for the usb, I believe you have to select AUX through the menu function on the radio, and it should pick it up. I don't use the usb a lot !! Hope this helps. I will verify on my radio, and send you a detailed step by step if you like. Sincerely Steve martinez

It depends on your case. One of my cases allows me to dock it, the other doesn't. In that case, I use the cord charger. There is a USB port in the back of the radio.

Did not work for me. Tune the machine after you plug it in to the headphone jack to any station e.g 87.6 then tune you radio to that station and it should play on the radio e.g a car radio. The usb is to charge it.

Yes and no - I say this because it is hit and miss with my Cellphone and Bluetooth ear piece. Sometimes it works well charging and other ties it does not charge at all. I am running Windows 7 Professional on my desk top. As a USB hub it works great but as a charger, as I said, hit and miss.With a Sandisk Fuze MP3 player I have this UBS hub will charge just fine - perfectly every time.My speculation is it has something to do with USB1, USB2, and USB3 speeds - my MP3 is USB2 and I believe my ear piece and phone are USB3.

A genuine cable (kenwood icon, etc.) will work I assume. The cheap Chinese cables will work as well , (suck as the ones found on amazon,) will work too. The issue with these is the drivers. If you buy one, (I own two,) you need do some research on line on how to install the driver. Once you get the driver installed for the cable the rest is simply programming the radio and writing the info. You also best to stay withthe uv-b5 series in my opinion, as the uv-5r series has several different firmware versions and that makes it a pain to use. The b5 writes very well. Inhave not used a uv-82. I hope this helped. YouTube also has some good videos that demonstrate how to install the proper driver. A genuine cable (kenwood icon, etc.) will work I assume.

A flash drive with music will play. I pligged in my phone but it only charged it. Great radio though. You dony have to cut anything out if you have room on your console. Glad I bought it!

There is a USB adapter shown in the frequently bought together section under this radio. I bought one, and it works fine. Baofeng USB Programming Cable for Baofeng Two way Radio UV-5R, BF-888S,BF-F8+ With Driver CD

Argh....I read your question wrong for my previous answer. Having a USB port is the key. If your tablet has it then I believe you can transfer music to the player. You charge the player using the UBC port, too.

There is a 3 in 1 card slot and a USB port on the front of the player. I don't know what they do; I don't have an external drive to plug up and I threw away the directions.

I only connect the small main terminal to my computer through the UHB port. The speakers are wireless and I have wireless.

I also have problems with My 630 Some are the same My sound goes off and I have to wiggle the block connector in back. I finally taped the connector to the radio.My usb only works when the car is not running it will play for hours but goes to a faultwhen the car is started. My work around is using an I Pod hooked to the auxiliary ports in back also I can use My old walkman cassette player that way. I Would not recommend this radio to anyone.

It has a button to the right of the BASS button that says Play/Pause USB. You push that button and with all the normal settings like power and such set where they should be, your USB will play. I love this Radio/Player.

The only way to play your music would be with a AUX connection. USB will not work with iPhone or iPod. I wasn't happy about it.
