Noob here.

I have a Kenwood KDC-X589. Like so:

This is the rear of a 993, but it looks the same, EXCEPT I don't believe I have that USB cable:

I currently have this hooked up, to play off an ipod:

Question is, does anyone know how I can input sound from my PHONE to this? It's a Galaxy S4. There's no USB inputs that I can see on the deck, or anything else other than that big fat round one the ipod adapter connects to.

Any options? :sadbanana:

You can't plug in the Galaxy using USB, but you can output sound using analog audio (headphone jack). The X597 should have an aux in, or you can buy a Kenwood expansion port to audio in adapter. I actually might have one you can have, although postage might suck.

Mine's an X589 though?

Can you show me an example of the cable? I can't find fuck all on crutchfield or anywhere.

I was thinking of using an FM Transmitter for it...

Whoops, typo.

I don't think that adapter has been made in years, but this is what it is:

As long as your stereo has the old school 13-pin connector in the back (three rows of four plus one) it should work.

I cleaned out the drawer of stereo stuff last weekend and made a box of things that are going in the trash. That adapter is one of them, so it's yours if you want it. Also have a 12-disc Pioneer CD changer and the exact same type of adapter for Pioneer head unit. Heh.
