What ac adapter works with the Sony liv clutch radio please? Are there differences between adapters? Thank you.

To start, big difference between adapters, voltage & pin size/polarity for starters. I've done a fairly exhaustive search on-line over the years and Sony never actually provided an adapter for this radio. However, they did for the previous model (which I own and use the adapter for this radio) Sony ICF-M350V. Universal has a description of the AC adapter as 4.5 VDC, but nothing else. I'm not near the adapter at the moment, but when I am, I'll post as much info as I can glean from the wall wart I use.

I agree this is a great radio (a little wide on the FM band, but very sensitive.) Batteries last a long time, I rarely use the adapter.

I never use the ac adapter. I only use the batteries. They last about a week of solid playing.

Sorry...I didn't buy the AC adaptor; I use the radio for just a few minutes each day, so I get by on just battery power.

Hello, I'm not sure if you'll need an adapter, from the product description, you shouldn't. The device should work, especially if it's working in other cars. I was not able to plug the device into my phone, it was not a good fit. If your able to return it, that's what I would suggest. I'm sorry, I wish I could help..

they sell the Ambient Weather WR-AC1 Mini-USB to AC Adaptor for Small Electronic Devices by Ambient Weather on Amazon, if you haven'y already bought the radio it comes with it for $3 more rather than the one without it. On the Ambient web site they have both the AC (90W1-29100 USB to AC) and the DC(30W1-29100USB to DC car charger) adaptors.It does recharge the battery.

Not sure what you are looking for; are you saying that you want a Bluetooth adapter with an AC adapter rather than one that only uses batteries? If so then this is the unit that fits that criteria. This unit only works with a wall AC adapter, battery operation is not an option. The AC adapter, included with this unit, has a 6 foot cord, so it gives you some flexibility.

The Radio that I have has a plug in antenna connector that seems to be like a headphone jack(8mm I think?),the radio comes with a roll up antenna that kinda works,but you could download the details/instructions off the Sony site probably?in fact there are also amplified antenna's out there,but that might amplify noise also?Check out some of the radio equipment sites for accesories,I've seen that some of these guys make their own antennas with just a copper wire streached out in the backyard with a connector soldered on,maybe Radio Shack or Universal Radio can help?I seem to get along with what came with the radio or I'm just to lazy to order and install a real antenna,haha!Good luck and happy listening,this is an awesome radio in this price group!

Depends on your battery and capacity. I use a old Sony battery with the adapter and it works fine for me.

I have a Kaito 500 portable radio. It has an Ac adapter and an ear phone adapter, neither of which I've used. You can crank it for power if needed, Gets good reception and I like it. Great weather reports

It uses an A.C. adapter. I love it, it works great. I pair it with the lionheart moisture pads.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. There's someone selling a "adaptor" on eBay but I don't know what it actually does. He wants $30 for it. Another rip off.

Hello Hippie : ) sorry no AC adapter included, but works with one of those regular ipod (USB) kind of charger, 5 volts. Or you can use your Pc for charging too. A note of advise, do not put your cellphone to charge near the radio, that cause electrical (signal) interference.

I am sorry to tell you, but the unit does NOT come with an ac adapter. I did not need one so I find the item to be perfect for me. I hope you find what you need.

Nathan, how does one connect the adapter to the car stereo? I have a Honda Accord with AM/FM/XM/CD but there's no opening or port for any kind of adapter. You say that you've permanently wired the connection. Does that mean you fiddled with something under or behind the dashboard?

Well actually, it's a universal camera. Maybe Sony has a special connection that hooks right up to the brain but... all this camera is are: camera - brain box - power/ground wires - and the AV-RCA cable. The AV RCA cable will fit into ANY set-up with an AV-input.And thus why I used it with my GM Radio adapter.

Well............I have a little 100W inverter I put in the cig lighter. I plugged in the tranmitter setting the Freq to 103.1. I plugged my I-pod into the trasmitter. I turned on my little sony walkman to that Freq, and wahlah. Perfect reception. Started my Chev Luv thinking of Alternator noise, or some kind of engine interference, but...............worked perfect. In my setup no noise. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
