Car Radio Converter: Does anyone know if there is an adapter cable that works for this player so it can be plugged into a car radio and heard through the car's stereo?

I can tell you three options: - Use a cassette tape adapter like Randall mentioned. However, most newer cars do not come with a cassette player. - Use an FM Modulator. It connects to the earphone jack of the player and transmits the audio (received from the player) on a selected frequency and tune your car radio to the same frequency. You will get the sound through your car speakers. - If your car has RCA inputs (external and/or accessible) to the in-built audio system, use a "3.5 mm to RCA" cables. Connect the 3.5 mm connector to the earphone jack on the player and the RCA connectors to the RCA jacks of the car.

If the radio has an "aux" button it will work. The "aux" button is for the multi CD changer, so if you one of those it will have to be unplugged to use this cable. If you don't have the multi CD changer, there will be an open port on the back of the radio.

Depending on your car, there may be a factory or aftermarket input device available. These usually mimic a factory add-on player (CD changer or Minidisc player) and have a stereo mini-plug or RCA jack adaptor. You can search online or via car forums for your car. I've got one for my Mazda.

I've used a cassette adapter on mine. Just plug it in like you would a CD player and listen to your collection.

I have an older car stereo cd player. Will this thing play over an unused radio frequency similar to an ipod?

It's been a long time since I got it for my wife, but I don't think it does. HGowever, you can got to Radio Shack, Best But, or one of those kind of stores and they can fix you up. I assume you have a mini phono jack in your car.

If you plug in the 'dongle' thing to the side, you should be able to turn on the FM mod and use it in the car.It uses that as an 'antenna' to broadcast to your FM radio.

Maybe if you have another input in the car radio like a rca input, in that case you can put and cable adapter

ya it's great!! i can plug the charger into the cigarette lighter and it'll charge while listening to it through my fantastic stereo. you'll need an extra wire that you plug into the player's headphone plug and plug the other into the aux. plug in on the stereo.

If there is an aux input in the car then yes. Otherwise idk where else you could plug it in. But if the aux input doesn't exist and your car has a cassette player, then there are cassette adapters you could get

If your car already has bluetooth, you don't even need this device! Just use any bluetooth device like an iPhone, Android phone, tablet, etc. and you should be able to stream music to your car radio. I can't believe this hasn't been posted already!

Hi Miggy, Although I don't have a jack in my car radio to try what you asked about, I see absolutely no reason why it wouldn't work. The car radio jacks are designed for MP3 players and the Sangean radio's output should be essentially identical to that of an MP3 player. You'll need only a male/male stereo cable to make the connection. The only thing I'd be concerned about is whether the Sangean's reception inside the car is acceptable. My guess is that if you're in an urban environment and the station is a powerful one you should be OK. Amazon is excellent about returns so if you keep all the packaging you should have no problems returning the radio if reception isn't what you had hoped.

Thus did not work for me. I had an iPod extension cable in my car connected to the back of the radio but wanted to be able to use other music playing devices like Android phone or my children's players so thought having a regular 3.5 audio plug available would be great but the convertor did not work. Spent money and time and it seems all I got was disappointment.

Probably not from the USB, but you should be able to line it in through the headphone jack, using a line in cord or a tape adapter, and it should play fine through the car stereo. the built in speaker should effect that.

Hi, I dont think it will work in the car stereo. When plugeed to a computerr it installs something into the system, and Im not sure it will in the car.

There is a 1/8" line out jack, as well as a digital coaxial with an included cable. The line out works splendidly for aux input on cars, but I haven't tried the coaxial output. Frankly, since the coaxial bypasses the internal DACs, I won't be using it. The internal DACs are *why* you'd buy a player like this.
