Is this normal?

Audio is delayed by about 2-3 seconds when I play music thru the USB and when I stream audio thru Bluetooth, there's little to no delay. Is that normal? Can it be fixed?

That is not normal.
Try a different USB drive.
I have a 64GB Sandisk usb drive that I keep in the car at all times.
Even if I do random on the entire drive, it never has a delay that bad. Maybe a second at most.

It could be.
I've connected an ipod to it, and its response time is very fast.
I've only connected an iphone via bluetooth. I haven't plugged in directly, so I don't know. I can't test that out because I don't have an iphone. It was a friend's phone.
Sorry, I'm not too savvy with iphone's.

Can you expand on the "delay? Do you mean a lag in start up? I find that USB audio or iPod is instant but Bluetooth takes as long as 5-10 seconds to connect initially.
