Sansa e280 in your car?? Can you hook this up to play through your car stereo? I'm real close to buying one.

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.

Yes. Here are several ways. There are probably more.1. Purchase an FM transmitter. Hook it up to the sansa, and tune your radio accordingly.2. Use a 'cassette adapter'.3. Use an audio 'patch cord' connected to the sansa's headphone jack and your stereo's auxiliary input (if you have one).

You could with an auxiliary audio cord. It has an earphone jack, so as long as you are using a cord or some other device that works with your car stereo an plugs into an earphone jack it would work. But the device does not transmit a signal. It will not connect on its own.

Steven - it works to connect my iPod - recent model to my car stereo system. Ben

I apologize as I am not sure. I have given the device to my husband and he usually has a boom cube attached to it or plays it in the car with an attachment that lets him play it through the car stereo. I am hoping that information may help you a little bit; but once again I do apologize.

If you car stereo has a 3.5mm audio connection then yes you can play it through your stereo.If you car stereo doesn't have one then can buy an adapter. If your stereo plays cassette tapes, they make an adapter that fits into the cassette opening and provides a 3.5mm jack. If you have a cd player in your car, they sella wireless adapter that works through your FM station and provides jack to plug into.

I have two Sansa players and have been very happy thus far. Owned an older Zen model, most unhappy, and because they've never had an FM radio, refused to purchase an Apple player.

It has a port for headphones, so if your car stereo has an AUX port you can buy an Auxiliary cable if you don't already have one and set the radio to play the music via the car. I am not certain if this will work but this is essentially how the other mp3 players work. Hope this helps! :)

Oh this is easy. You can run Rockbox on the e280, and I do not believe it has been ported to the View. If you are getting it primarily to listen to music, you will want to learn about Rockbox, and how to run it on the Sansa. Rockbox is a free gift from music lovers to music lovers. It is a bit technical and not for the faint of heart! Be bold, and ROCKBOX the e280!

Is this still the case? The Device Center at Audible suggests that the Sansa e200v2 series is compatible. I'm looking at buying a player that will run Audible files and prefer this one if it is compatible. Thanks!

It will not work in the car, at least not in my car. The head unit, a JVC, tries to read the iPod but can not for whatever reason. I believe it has something to do with not being on a wi-fi net work in the car.As far as sound quality, it is remarkable. It works great on my Sony docking station. I was using a Bluetooth before, which was okay, but Dolry is way better.

The sansa e280 can play books on tape, but it is tricky. It took me a while to figure it out but it can be done. You have to set it up as a play list to keep the book in order. Plus before you transfer the tracks to the sansa you have to make sure that all the id v.2 tags are labeled differently because that is how sansa labels the tracks, not by the filename. I know this because that's all my wife lisens to on hers.

I would locate your PDIM that looks like the one in the picture. I am not sure where it is on your car. How do you use the stereo to hook up to the Iphone, does a voice talk you through it? If so, it may work like previously stated.

hi Justin.. you can play I tunes, pandora, or your telephone. Livio will send any sound from phone through blue tooth into car speakers. enjoy!

My car doesn't have USB port but it would likely work. I can play files using Clip through my computer. If you are going to play it through car system I hope to God your using FLAC and not MP3 files.

My experience is that the USB is only used to POWER the device, not to actually transfer music data. To hear the music you have to use the headphone port on the opposite side and plug THAT into a "line in" on the car stereo. If you don't have a "line in" on your stereo, this product is probably not for you. Cheers.

When I plugged in my Sansa to the USB port of the radio, it scanned the Sansa for mp3's, but would only read the first 999 songs. If you have a library larger than that and want to play ALL your songs, suggest using the 1/4" aux audio connector (although you will lose sound quality) or go bluetooth with some kind of adapter.

Nope, don't buy it. I just tried in my Camry. You're better off getting a whole new radio &lt;.&lt;
