Would the USB port of a car charge this device? Can I use this as a hand-free speaker with my smart phone while driving?

Yes the USB port can charge the device, and yes it can be used as a hand-free speaker with your smart phnon, it has a built in microphone.

As long as you have a plug that fits into the charging unit and into the speaker you could charge it. I don't know about using it as a hands free speaker. I will have to try it.

The Lepow bluetooth speaker would be ok to charge with an in car USB port. Also ok to use as a speaker in the car, probably put in a drink holder to stop from rolling around the car.

It starts charging as soon as you dock it. If you use a portable speaker, then it will charge when your speaker is charging. It does not charge separately. I have not used this in a car yet. But it does have an AUX jack so you can connect it using it. Not sure about the 30-pin to USB, but I don't see why that shouldn't work. Hope that helps!

Charge yes, but with my JBL system I needed two have a an earphone jack to jack from my earphone to the car jack. However I have seen a similar item on Amazon that had an jack as part of the system, but do not have first hand knowledge using one.

I don't have a usb port in my car to test it for you. So sorry. But, honestly, I don't see why you couldn't. Perhaps you could contact one of the sellers of this product to get that answer (which, but the way, it is a good question). Wish I could have been more helpful.

You need aux cable to play music, lightning connector will charge, but if you don't plug aux cable then music will only play through phone speaker and not car's

Yes; how ever the charging capability is slower than the battery drain of using BY for music. I was stuck in traffic and noticed a steady drop in the battery. Overall, I would recommend using a car charger and not the USB.

I use mine just to charge at home and in the car, still need to use ear piece or headphones, my car is not equipped with the adapter to put through speakers and thus set us just charging

If your charger has a USB connectivity you can use this as a charger. I have an iPhone for example. I take the part that plugs into the wall off and put the USB end in the adapter. You can charge your phone and play music at the same time. The auxiliary chord goes in my iphone where headphones go. The music plays through the radio speakers in the car.

I don't think so. I just charge my phone separately but you can do that while you're using the speaker. I'm enjoying having portable music!!

Yes; It works just like headphone so you have play anything that has audio. The only drawback to this is when you charge your phone and listen to the audio you will here a humming noise. It can get really annoying when your car accelerates. I don't get the humming noise when I listen to the audio alone.

Yes. The only problem is that sometimes it answers in the car when outside the car in range. You would have to shut the device off when near the car (right near the car only). Otherwise it works great. Good audio, good time on a charge.

Hi Doug, It is unlikely, I believe even the description says it is only good for charging not audio. Darren

The USB will use an external cable that you will have to run from the back of the unit to wherever you would like to plug into. But, once you plug into it, it charges your phone pretty well. So if you don't plan on listening to music via USB, than save yourself some trouble and just use the cigarette lighter. The unit is a very nice piece overall though. Hope I was helpful.

It could work in a car but I wouldn't use it as a car charger. Your phone would just slide off.
