Can I pair this with the blue tooth audio system in my car to "replace" the car system's inferior sound?

Hi, pairing an audio source such as your car stereo to this Sony Portable Speaker will not work. This unit works only for compatible audio sources like smartphones or laptops that has Bluetooth capability. -Ely

Actually, you could if your car deck has an input for headphones. Then you can connect it to the speaker via an audio cable.

Yes you can but as the others answers state you need to use a Bluetooth device as the source

The make of the car is irrelevant. Your stereo or amp needs to have an RCA input. Any input really using adapters from the RCA plugs. Think of the Bluetooth dongle as a generic audio source. you need to have someway to connect it to your stereo or amp, and a way to select it, if applicable. I run mine straight into the amp. It has moderate bluetooth strength. I am able to pickup a signal through a thin firewall but not much more. FYI.

The bluetooth pairing is very easy so "plugging it in" would seem to be odd however yes you could. From experience however, it really is only enjoyable if you have a decently quiet car. In my 04 accord you can hear it very well (it does have a good quality of sound) but in my work truck it is hard to make out over the motor reverberations. Hope that helps!

No, you need a AUX plug. Like a head phone jack that goes into the car audio system.

You should be able to. Charging & the headphone port for auxiliary use in your car work independently of each other.

You cannot do this with bluetooth since it only replaces the speakers of you phone and has limited controls of the device

No. You will have to scroll to blue tooth audio and press to connect. Over all the system works well. It is not however as good as a factory system. However if your vehicle does not have a factory blue tooth this is a great way to keep your factory radio. I sell Fords so am very aware of how the factory systems are. So if you do not have blue tooth and want to keep the factory radio this will work quit well.fords f e

You won't be able to use it. It does require the car to have an AUX port. The Himbox is the part that picks up the bluetooth connection but feeds it to the AUX

I haven't used this in the car. Theoretically it is possible if you connect it in a car with a 30 pin cable that splits to a 3.5mm connection (plug into AUX input) and a USB connection (plug into a car charger). But, I highly doubt that will display the info on the car dashboard. That isn't what it was designed to do. I agree with the other answer in regard to sound quality. It is MUCH better than Bluetooth.

If you have an audio system in your car that is advanced enough to have Bluetooth, it must have more capable speakers than this device. As I stated in my review, the sound quality is comparable to a mono radio speaker, with poor bass and almost no treble which should be surpassed by a car stereo. I cannot see any advantage to jury rigging this speaker to listen to music in your car.

i use it connecting iphone/pod to an old Bose & the sound quality is lacking.

No you can't do that, and you don't want to because the audio quality of the FiiO system is much better than bluetooth.

Yes. That is the whole point. It provides the bluetooth operation for cars that don't have it.

You can but I didn't care for the audio. I reocommend using the aux cable. As a bluetooth phone option I love it, just not for music.

No..you need a male to male aux cable in order to hear the sound in your car.

Potentially you could do this, however the sound would be "odd". The only way would be to route it via the "Zone2" option for a Bose system I guess.
