Will it work WITHOUT a car stereo? Can she put this in her car and get FM radio?

The Coby CA-745 transmits audio from any audio player with a stereo output jack over an FM station so your sister WILL need a car radio to tune into the corresponding FM station. The transmitter will not receive FM stations like a radio.

Yes. It will play your songs through your car speakers, so long that your car radio, and the FM transmitter ar tuned to the same frequency. However don't expect the quality of sound to be the greatest. I'd much rather go with one of those tape converters. Good luck!

No, you'd need an AUX port. You might want to look for a unit that outputs to your FM radio.

You would have to buy some sort of converter for it. We could only use ours in the car

No, It tunes to a FM station. It has no ability to connect through an aux port.

Correct, but it can also transmit audio through rca inputs if your stereo has them. FM is one of two options.

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!

It transmits whatever is playing on my IPod to the car radio. I found that my "classic" IPod works with the device without it being plugged into the car so it should work, for example, at work if you want to play the audio from IPod on your FM radio in the office.

It comes with an antenna cord that plugs into the headphone jack and then you can switch on the radios speaker to listen. No FM radio will work to its full potential without an antenna. I love the radio. It has good reception (and I know the difference) and its got a nice layout so it's not hard to get used to. The weather band receives very well here on Cape Cod also.

This device connects to your car audio ONLY through FM transmitter. If you already have an aux in, you should use it instead. A simple cable from your phones headphone jack to the aux-in on your stereo should work.

No, It can be used in a car or at home with the kit. At home, it has to be connected to your stereo to get sound.

you would need to have the ipod lightning to usb cable. your car stereo would need to beable to interface with the ipod or have a generic usb port.

Yes, it can hook up to hands free car kits, headphones, and speakers without any difficulties.I no longer use it as a phone; it is now a super-cool mp3 player that I use with bluetooth speakers.

I mean it will but it will work poorly. It attaches to the antenna so if your car has an antenna it will work, but as I learned, changing the geometry of your antenna is not a good idea. An FM transmitter is a better idea. Even though they are notorious for not working that well they are physically decoupled from your antenna which is how your fm receiver is meant to work.

The device was designed exactly for that - to be used on cars with no bluetooth stereo. If your stereo have bluetooth you could connect your smartphone directly to it and would not need this. It connects to bluetooth on your phone, then converts the signal to an FM radio frequency. You tune your stereo to that frequency and "wha-la" you have sound.

You can indeed. This hands free device uses radio signal to send your audio to your cars radio. You need only a radio and a port to plug the FM transmitter. Hope that helps. It is a fantastic device and has served me well for quite a while. :)

I use an mp3 car adapter. You can play anything with a 3.5mm headphone jack through the radio. It is not perfect but well worth the small investment if you have a car without a connection built in. Plug it into the cigarette lighter or accessory power port, tune radio to a blank area of the dial and tune the adapter to the same number and you are ready to play your phone, mp3, portable Cd or Dvd through the car stereo speakers. It will fade in and out some but its cheaper the a new stereo installation. Good luck.
