How do you hook it into your radio if your radio dont have a input on the face to plug it into? Do you have to plug it into the back of the radio?

Yes, most radios have an auxiliary port to plug into - some on the front but most are on the back

I think you can plug it in. Pretty sure. It was a gift for my friend and he absolutely loves it. He is old fashioned and has cd's, tapes, and likes to listen to radio. This met all his needs and he says the sound is really great. I think it was money well spent when he keeps telling me how great it is.

It does not have a USB input on the front. The USB hookup is a cord that is a couple feet long that comes off of the back of the unit. You can run this down to the bottom of your dash beneath the stereo and access it there if you wish to use it.If the device you are using has bluetooth capability you will not need the USB input at all.

Gary, The lead plugs into the adapter... the adapter connects to the metal whip antenna of your radio. If your radio has a external antenna jack, you can just plug it into that, if it is the correct size. //... Joe

No. There are some wires attached to it like the power, ground, remote and illumination wire. Everything needs to be hooked in the back of the radio.

It is my understanding that you must buy a radio instillation kit (which you can find at wal-mart) in order to put in any after market radio. when picking out the kit, the different makes and models will be listened on the packaging. The answer to this question is based on if they make a kit for your vehicle (which odds are, they do)

Plug and play...plug it into AC power, plug up your source (i.e. mic, mp3 device, passive mixer feed) and power it up. Adjust volume and eq...that's it.

It plugs into the back of the radio, so that is the key. It worked fine on a 2010 Matrix with the stock radio (single CD player)... if you can find a picture of the back of that radio and your radio you might be able to tell... It was a crap shoot... I wasn't sure if it would work when I purchased it either...

You need a car docking kit which they don't tell you need with radio. I searched for almost 3 months, both on line and locally for car docking kit that went with radio. Never found one. I ended up purchasing an Onyx radio which had car docking kit. My brother hooked it up in car and I love it! Believe I returned the radio in picture as it was just brand new junk. Can't use without a docking station. Hope this answers your question.

Look up the wiring codes for your aftermarket radio. There should be a wire marked "dimmer" or "dash light" or something similar. That's what you connect it to. It would help if you would tell us the model of the radio you're installing in your car and we could tell you the exact wire you need to connect.

The best advice I would offer. would be to take it to Best Buy for installation. They did mine and I bought the radio somewhere else. It works great and the unit is one of the best I have ever had.

If you plug in the 'dongle' thing to the side, you should be able to turn on the FM mod and use it in the car.It uses that as an 'antenna' to broadcast to your FM radio.

There is a standard usb port on the back of the radio. Run the wire during the install and leave it.

I use the same connector I use to hook up my iPod in my car. There's an AUX in on the back of the radio. Works like a charm.

If the radio has an AUX port it will plug right in ti it.. There is also a cassette tape deck adapter. It can also be connected using an FM adapter. That would be my last choice. It conflicts with local FM stations.

In the back, there is an ETHERNET plug. I don't know the details, but this suggests you can connect the radio using this plug.

It should plug into your aux jack if it is a standard head phone jack. The radio comes with an aux cable.
