I don't actually own this product but I can tell you with reasonable certainty that the radio station doesn't matter. This product transmits the audio to an auxiliary or AUX port on your radio, it doesn't work wirelessly. If you don't have one of these ports on your radio you'll need a different product, such as an FM transmitter, to use your iPod/iPhone with your vehicle's radio.

This charger only supplies power to the iPod. In order to hear your songs over the car speakers, you need an fm transmitter ~ just like Jessica says. I got my nephew a cheap one that picks up a lot of interference, but he is desperate enough to keep using it. ;-S

Ok... I am seeing conflicting stories. Does this cable provide power? When the car is on, I want my ipod to enter into charging mode. Also, will this item work with all radio control features (to include steering audio controls)?

Every mp3 player works in the car. Where is the point of the question? If you have a radio with the Cassette, simply buy a cassette adapter, and with 5 dollars you can listen your mp3 player in through yor autoradio. If you have an AUX port in your radio, buy a cord with two males connectors ( probably 3 dollars and radioshack ) and voila' ... you can listen your music in your car. Isn't that simple?

doesn't matter what type or brand the car is....this will work. Attach this to the end of your iPod cable....sync to your device through your bluetooth settings....and start streaming. The sound is amazing. One thing though....sometimes it fails to connect after I've turned car off and then returned. I have to go back into bluetooth settings and connect again.. but not all the time. I have three of these....one in three different cars...it works in all of them.

The Aux cord will only work if you have an auxiliary port in your car. I don't, so this doesn't work for me. You have to plug the cord into your phone and then the aux into the outlet in your car. If you don't have one, then it will only work as a car charger...and even that doesn't work all the time! This was a waste of money for me.

you can always buy the little converter thingy so he can use both (Give me3-PACK 8 pin to 30 pin Charge & Sync Cable Adapter For Apple iPhone 5s/5c/5 4s/4 iPod iPad (white)). However, you should not buy this unit! I bought one for my wife; on day three the clock stopped working and on day five the radio stopped working. For $30 more you can get this rockin' Sony docking station (Sony ICFCS15IPN) ; I've abused mine for a couple years and it keeps on humming.

Hello, My car is a Mercedes E350 2010, he has an outlet for this accessory in the glove compartment, it solved my problem connecting my Iphone, music and telephony. Highly recommend if your car is ready.

If your talking about IPOD or mp3 player intergration no it does not have the cable, but if your talking about the OEM to keep chimes, beep, warning sound and onstar it does have it but it does not work for some cars and as for other stuff like steering wheel controls or other fancy OEM stuff built in from what I was told you might have to get an PAC adaptor. I would try searching for your vehicle online about aftermarket radio installation, read the car forms, go through online retailer part review or send them email about any questions regarding the part and your vehicle also call them by phone if number is there. I hope this helps in some way and best of luck to you.

I use it with my 5th generation ipod. Since it is a "hard drive" based ipod the radio does sometimes take a while to read the files on the ipod before the menus show up on the screen but it works 99% of the time. I will say that if you turn the car off and leave the ipod attached that it will drain the battery on the ipod so make sure you detach the ipod from the cable/car after use. Good luck.

If its just a charging port, no. My car also has another USB connector in my glove box and that is also connected to my Aux in my radio. I hope I answered your question.

Looks like the compact charger is only for a wall outlet; looks like this one includes car charging.

My car (2009 Nissan Cube) has an iPod hookup, and this product did not work with it. I would also be pretty sure that if your car stereo takes control of your iPod/iPhone (to where you can't control the iPod/iPhone directly and it makes you use the stereo's controls), this product will not work.

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

I've had mine for years now, but it came with a cassette adapter at the time and a power cord for the cig. lighter. The best thing to do is get the car kit- cheap on ebay- and it has a cradle for the radio. You plug your pwr into the lighter pwr, and then use a basic male to male headphone sized jack to connect to your car radio input (I have two Subarus that have such a jack- aux. input). I have a car cradle in each car for the radio and the home kit as well. I think it's a great little radio.

Love this radio, but it has the older style plug, do it won't work with new iPhone or iPods.
