IPhone to Pioneer Media

Hi, I recently purchased a 2011 Nomad Skyline 245 which has a nice Pioneer which can do CD', DVD's, MP4's, AM/FM etc. We occasionally camp where there is very little radio reception and in the past have enjoyed my i heart radio ap on my phone, with portable speakers. Is there a way to connect my phone to the stereo? I tried the USB port but is apparently only for charging . Thanks!
  • I recommend Nano USB memory. The small stature lowers the chance of snagging it. If you have a 3.5mm line input you could use a Bluetooth dongle to connect the Iphone. If you're using the camper in a isolated location a Bluetooth/FM transmitter would work.
  • Thanks all, I'll check all these out to see which might work. I appreciate the help. Probably just need to ask my 5 year old grandson. No , I can't imagine one of these suggestions not working.
  • It will depend on the model. Look it up on the pioneer site and dig up the manual. On my kenwood it requires a special USB to iPhone cable that cost $30. It won't work with a normal USB cable.

    If there is a 3.5 mm AUX jack on the unit you can use a male-male cable to connect the two.
  • I think the USB ports on RV radios work if you insert a USB drive with MP3 files on it. I have a BS Jensen and I use a 64gb drive in it, and it works. It just takes a long time to load.
