I just bought a 2011 Kizashi the other day and I was wondering if there was a way to play music from my Galaxy S3 through the USB port. I'd like to not have to resort to another cig lighter plugin FM transmitter if I don't have to.

you dont have to, I do it all the time via blue thooth. The CD botton on the dash is also the BT for blue thooth botton. First you have to pair the phone with the car stereo. There are a few steps you have to do - check out the owners manual for instructions.

I assume that doesn't apply to an SE model, I was wondering the same thing with my droid.

Yes, not all Kizashi's have bluetooth. I haven't tried playing music via the USB port, but it might work if you change the phone options to connect as a memory drive? (My HTC asks when I plug it into a PC how I want it to connect, I assume other Android phones are the same?)

Yeah mine doesn't have bluetooth just the usb in. I tried plugging it in and it charges but the radio display says usb unsupported or something. Was hoping there was an app or a setting someone knew about that would make the phone usable through usb.
