harmonda Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I just bought a boat. The previous owner just installed a new Kenwood head unit. It flips forwad and has a storage compartment for an mp3 player/phone/etc... However, it only has USB and iPod connectors. I have a DroidX, laptop, PSP3000, etc. Is it even possible to adapt either of the existing connectors to a 3.5mm mini jack so I can plug in one of my devices? Does such an adapter exist? I've been searching but can't find it. School me. I do have an iPod mini but I hate it. So I'd really like to connect one of my other devices.

FST94TSI Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Google is your best friend but yes you can get a USB to 3.5 adaptor from either online or radio shack. Should be really easy. I believe you can output from the hdmi out on the droid x if I remember correctly. I could be wrong on that though, it's been a while since I had my droidx.

Drewhop Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Maybe I am misread something. Couldnt you just load music onto a usb and plug that into radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonda Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 That USB drive idea is a good one. The unit is a KMR-700U, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmonda Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Got it. I don't think I was calling it the right thing in my searches. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 USB to 3.5 won't work, its look for a disk drive not analog audio input. You can for sure get a ipod dock to 3.5mm adapter online, maybe even one with a USB out so you can charge as well. http://www.cablejive.com/universal-dock-converter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
