Can i connect my MP3 player to my car stereo using the BUS Audio in?
Some Sony head units have the ability to use the Bus input as an auxiliary source, but yours does not. It can be done, but it requires an optional accessory. Sony makes an auxiliary input device that allows you to connect multiple inputs, including a USB port; the model number is XA300. http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/ecom/ac... A much less expensive option is this device, which simply fools the unit into thinking you have a CD changer connected, so that you can listen to the audio from the Bus input: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_127AUXONS/P... Just follow the instructions with the device that you choose.
How can I play music in my car using my iPhone's Youtube app?
Depending on your car, you can connect your phone through Bluetooth or use an aux cable. Then open up the app, find a premade playlist (or make your own) then turn on a video and it will shuffle through the songs. Just a reminder, YouTube eats data like children eat sweets, so be cautious.
Will a USB bluetooth adapter work in a car stereo?
Technically, yes you should be able to do that. The big issue is the brand of radio that you are trying to do it with.The cost of a car radio with Bluetooth is quite cheap, the main cost of car stereos today are the harnesses needed to integrate the radio into the factory (car side) so that all the oem options work as well.You can easily find a bluetooth equipped radio for $80–$150 all day long from brands such as Kenwood, pioneer, alpine, etc.But depending on your particular vehicle, the wiring harness could cost $200 and up, if you need to integrate steering wheel controls, upgraded factory audio (like bose, jbl, infiniti, rockford fosgate, etc).In theory, yes you should be able to utilize a bluetooth enabled usb to stream audio from your phone, but it might be more cost effective to just add a radio with Bluetooth to your vehicle instead.

Audio Equipment: Is the loud popping sound when you plug/unplug your speakers bad for them?
Most speaker cones are driven from a power amplifier.. The pop - like you said - is a transient spike. But the important thing here is that it gets amplified up through the pre-amp and into the power amp.. Speakers usually move in the ol' in-out fashion with respect the the voltage at the input.. and a big spike could loosen the cone from its suspension mechanism.. The higher the power and the more delicate the cone - the more the danger to the speakers ( what is normal for a woofer cone, could end blowing up a tweeter cone) . For e.g. In live events, where high output PA speakers are used, this is a very serious issue - because such a spike could throw the speaker cone out of its place, and it wouldn't work from that point on. For this reason, some high end audio equipment have a limiter at the output, that prevents signal from exceeding a certain predefined limit. So any occuring transients would never hit the cone at a level that is unhealthy to them.Most home audio equipment tends to operate at lower levels. That being said, there is still some damage inflicted on the speakers - just maybe not of the same magnitude.. especially the smaller ones.If your system has a remote control, it might be wise to hit a mute button just before you change to another input... or maybe find a way to turn off just the speakers (if separately powered) before you interchange the connection.Hope this wasn't too star warsy :)
