Regarding the car adapter... does it plug directly into the radio or do I need the docking station to charge the radio via the car adapter?

I would assume so.. I don't need adapted as the battery lasts for ever on one charge. Buy another battery.

It does not plug directly into the radio and you will need the docking station. Also, the regular plug that you would use while in the house to charge the radio is hard wired into the docking station. And if I might add, although I like this radio, I have many friends that use the Baofeng UV 5RA. Their radios do everything mine does at 1/3rd the price. I plan to purchase the Baofeng next time.

Unfortunately, yes. But I like my docking system so much it makes up for the inconvenience. Also, you'll want an audio cord if your car audio has a jack for it.

You do not use the use the USB cable. The charger has to be plugged into and outlet. You drop the radio in to charger and 1 or 2 can be charged at a time. The base also has an insert for a smaller radio that has to be removed. It merely lifts out.

This comes with connector, but you still need the adapter for the cars radio connector. then you will connect both of these connectors together. let me know if you need more info.

The docking station does not require an AC adapter. The AC adapter plugs directing into the laptop. All other peripherals plug into the docking station.

I had to buy the dock and the cigrette adapter. The origfinal dock with the stock radio was incompatible withh the new adapter. You must buy both together, which I found out after I purchased just the dock. Must say, though, my radio is working again without taping the audio cable to dock!!

no, but it charges off a standard USB. USB Car adapters can be found for probably $5-$10.

No separate car adapter needed. It comes with a dock, a swivel mounting bracket, antenna, audio cord and cigarette lighter plug.

The radio comes with a USB cord that charges the device by attaching it to your computer. The charger plugs into the headphone jack.

It comes with three docking adapters: One for Sirius, one for XM, and one for XM3pi. You just install the one you want. I kept the others around, in case I upgraded.

No it does not come with a car charger. However both the cradle and the radio itself have a 9 volt dc imput. So If you got a universal car charger with the correct size round 9v dc connector that would work. Or you could use a power inverter. These would have to be purchaced seperately.

Well you need a docking station to go inside the house to play the radio inside. I have one and it sounds great. Amazon sells them. I got a real nice one from amazon. The radio come with a car kit so you have everything you need in the box.

Correcting my message, the AC Adapter is OPTIONAL. I just found where I bought it with the Radio.

Charging base. I have the BaoFeng UV-5R and that's the only way to charge the battery. Kind of awkward to charge when driving. BF should copy Yaesu which has the charging port built into the radio. Good luck, KF6KVL.

Yes it does, the dock that comes with it has a port for the aux. cable(comes with car kit) to plug into your cars stereo.

You need to plug this into the AC/DC Charger base that came with the radio. Unfortunately, this 12VDC Car Charger Cable is NOT a direct plug in. Deceptively marketed product WITHOUT explanation to consumers. Else Baefeng radio products seem to work well.
