Is there any way to use this in the car? Is there a way to plug this into the car so you can play your music in the car? That's my main consideration in buying one. thanks!

If you have an auxilliary jack on your car stereo system, you can play any portible mp3 player on your car stereo. You just plug one end of the cord into the headphone jack of your player and the other end into the auxilliary jack of your car stereo. Then you set your car stereo to AUX. My husband had this kind of stereo installed in my truck for me. Works great! I can listen to anything that's on my mp3 player and not have to carry CD's around.

If you have a cassette player in your car, you can buy an adapter and plug one end into the earphone jack of the player and the other end into the cassette player. If you have a CD Player, it wil only work if you have an auxillary jack on the CD Player. If you have neither, you can buy a FM Transmitter that will wirelessless play on your FM Radio. However, the sound quality of FM is not as good.

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!

You need aux cable to play music, lightning connector will charge, but if you don't plug aux cable then music will only play through phone speaker and not car's

The make of the car is irrelevant. Your stereo or amp needs to have an RCA input. Any input really using adapters from the RCA plugs. Think of the Bluetooth dongle as a generic audio source. you need to have someway to connect it to your stereo or amp, and a way to select it, if applicable. I run mine straight into the amp. It has moderate bluetooth strength. I am able to pickup a signal through a thin firewall but not much more. FYI.

I use mine with the aux outlet in the car and it works great. If your car has one, that's the way to go.

Hi C.L.Let me ask you: how do you intend to play music while it's charging? Without an AUX port there is no way to physically connect the phone to the cars speakers. You can certainly use Bluetooth while charging, or play music via the phone speakers, but the audio input pictured here is for connecting via Aux port.This 2-in-1 charger does not have an AM/FM transmitter which would allow you to play music over a radio frequency on your radio, and this is what you may need if you have no physical connection port or Bluetooth connectivity.

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! :)

You can play music when you plug in the micro usb, but it neither charge the battery nor use the battery it will worked like you take out the battery of your laptop and plug in your charger. It could work, but it won't charge any power

I never tried to connect to the car, but it has a headphone jack. So it should connect the same as any other MP3.

If your charger has a USB connectivity you can use this as a charger. I have an iPhone for example. I take the part that plugs into the wall off and put the USB end in the adapter. You can charge your phone and play music at the same time. The auxiliary chord goes in my iphone where headphones go. The music plays through the radio speakers in the car.

For sure-you can plug it into any usb charge-like for your car to....you would plug the mini usb part into the music box then plug the reg usb into any wall usb charger/car charger which ever you prefer

Nathan, how does one connect the adapter to the car stereo? I have a Honda Accord with AM/FM/XM/CD but there's no opening or port for any kind of adapter. You say that you've permanently wired the connection. Does that mean you fiddled with something under or behind the dashboard?

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.

I misunderstood what you were saying. I am assuming you want to plug it into a usb capable plug in. I think it would work. I have never tried that. Might be interesting to see if it works in my car like that.

I did a sync through the micro USB but never tried the music through it since I use the headphone jack in the car, it has a narrow adapter for headphone plug if your headphone jack is too thick....

I am not sure I understand the context of the question, but I will try to answer. The dock is just a physical holder for your phone/device--it does not really have anything electronic or Bluetooth in it. There are built in cables for charging your phone via micro usb and a built in cable to plug into a headphone jack, so if you have an aux in for your car stereo you can keep the dock plugged in and just connect the phone to the dock to access music that way and charge the device. It will still connect to any Bluetooth connection from the phone to your receiver--nothing to do with the dock. Hope that helps.

Yea, if you are playing music it will cut off and play your ringtone. You just press the main button on the bluetooth and it'll do the rest, just speak loud and clear and you will hear them through your car speakers
