Is this good for listening to books on my s4 over the speakers? and things such as podcasts? I want everyone in the car to be able to hear the book.

Yes it works well with all audio features on your phone but the bottom cord cracks very easily in the winter

Everyone in the car should have no problem hearing what you are playing. You can make it as loud as you can typically make your car stereo with a CD or the radio.

There is to much feed back on this device. I do not think you would be satisfied with this product.

As long as the book is an audio file yes. This can play through the car radio, anything that can be played through headphones

Absolutely not!!! Doesnt pick up any station without static. Also the device ripped my entire AUX outlet out of dash

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.

You are wrong about the larger ipods not being ale to play books from sources other than Apple. I get two or three books a month from audible and they work great on my 60g ipod. The bookmarks work and I have no trouble at all. I have 69 books (including Atlas Shrugged at 55 hrs and The Fountainhead) and every album my wife and I own and haven't hit 15 gig yet.

The sound quality is excellent. I use it for audiobooks in the car. I am not into music. The volume is adjustable. I have tree of these for different connections.. I would not hesitate in buying another one for my needs.

It's pretty good. I listen to podcasts streaming from my phone and the sound is audible on busy city buses. The range of the device is extremely limited, but that just means you have to keep your phone in a nearby pocket.

You can use external speakers in the car. My problem was that tape adaptor stopped working. It can still be used with head phones or plugged into my speakers in my house.

"To get the best audio quality, navigate to the 'Settings' menu on your Galaxy S4 and go to 'My Device -&gt; Accessory'. Tap 'Audio output', and select 'Surround" This is what I did to my galaxy in order to make it work.. hope it works for you

I haven't tried it for audiobooks, but it's a rich, full-bodied sound. I can't imagine why not. Actually, I have used it to listen to internet radio (Pandora, Spotify). The announcers sound great in between songs. I don't think you could go wrong.

I just tried it on my Kindle touch and I could barely hear it through my car speakers. It was actually louder when I unhooked it from the inline jack cable.

tried it in the car, but the car radio is better. Also cuts out from time to time so it doesn't much help as a phone speaker. I haven't been able to figure out what to do with this that would be helpful.

Neal, I am considering a purchase of the iRiver clix for audio books rather than music. Have you downloaded any books yet, and, if so, what was the outcome? Thanx!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it works great with Bluetooth. It connects automatically when you get in the car. It comes set to only play out of the front speakers through Bluetooth, just make sure to change that setting so that it uses all the speakers. You can't change the display color, it's always blue, but you can change the color of the buttons or just let it cycle through all of them.

Is the volume on your phone up? I couldn't tell you hopefully your car is able to read cassettes.

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.

I'm sorry I've not figured that out either. I bought it for my Mother to listen to audio books but it just didn't work fot that purpose. Was very disappointed.

You need to buy headphones. Get the wireless, the are ok and inexpensive. Otherwise you will have to use the car speakers
