Would something like this connect and work for a handheld scanner? I'm wanting to listen to a handheld scanner while in the car.

It would work for cb channels mostly. You might get marginal reception with it on the higher VHF bands for police and fire. You would be better off get a dedicated vehicle scanner antenna that is designed to receive multiple frequency bands.

You can get an adapter to fit your scanner; however this was designed for 27-29 MHZ. You will be better off on finding a magnet mount scanner antenna that covers more scanner bands. 400MHZ, 40MHZ, 160MHZ ect... They are out there I had one years ago..

It should. It connects though a car stereo's standard antenna. They sell inexpensive antenna adapter if needed. This product works great in my 1988 Civic. Far better sound quality than wireless transmitters.

Actually, you could if your car deck has an input for headphones. Then you can connect it to the speaker via an audio cable.

This doesn't go through an aux port, so as long as the car has a cassette player you'll be able to use this to play music from your phone, ipod, mp3 player, etc.

i would assune it would, i purchesed it to use on my 2000 gmc... if you are not familiar with using this type of scanner there is little instructions & no .pdf file either for a printed manual, so its learn by doing... there are shortcomings...

I noticed it said that in the description but I haven't tried it for that purpose. It's the basic technology of a car antennae so I don't see why it wouldn't work like that as long as u remember it has a coaxial connection only.

You need a usb connection, no blue tooth is needed. The scanner might need formatting to work with your system. Talk to the software company to help you to figure it out. That's what I had to do.

No, this is for audio only, for those cars that do not have Bluetooth sound connectivity (aka AD2DP). Some cars will only connect bluetooth for phone use only and not for stereo/sound/Pandora etc. (like my Mini Cooper hence need this cable). Your car controls (i.e. next track, stop, etc.) will NOT pass back to the phone via this cable. You won't find a simple cable to do what you are looking for, but with a 2014 GMC, I'd really look to see if your radio supports AD2DP then you can use all of the car controls and even see song title, cover art etc on your screen. Go into your phone and car settings and make sure you select the "audio" or other settings that may be offered beside the normal phone connection. These settings would be in the bluetooth pairing options menus (start with your phone).

I'm not sure since I don't have a car, but I believe you could provided your car radio has the appropriate auxiliary jack. And I believe it would probably need an auxiliary cord, not a USB.

If you have an auxiliary (AUX) input on your system, it should easily work. I connected my CONNECT to my old stereo system, which I like because of it's sound quality. They work great together.

My car stereo has a USB input on the front. I would like to use this to transmit audio from my phone to the car stereo via this USB dongle. Is this one what did? Did it work?

You could with an auxiliary audio cord. It has an earphone jack, so as long as you are using a cord or some other device that works with your car stereo an plugs into an earphone jack it would work. But the device does not transmit a signal. It will not connect on its own.

Yes it can. It will do it through the FM RADIO SIGNAL. The audio can be good or not. You also have the option to run an auxiliary cable and connect it to the car. Either way it is gonna work.

Your mileage may vary (sorry, couldn't resist the pun), but most mobiles can support multiple Bluetooth peripherals, e.g. an HID trackpad/keyboard and a headset. Your car is probably paired as a headset device (maybe A2DP for music), this may interfere with the headset connection, but as an HID it should work. The real question is, can you NOT use this device's audio connection while using it as an HID trackpad.

Yes, it should work as long as you have bluetooth. I didn't like it though and replaced it with isimple's wired connection. The compression of the bluetooth was way to much for my ears using this. I've used bluetooth to play music on other devices and none of them sound as bad as this did, to me. But I believe you'll have some loss and compression with bluetooth no matter what. It wasn't awful. I just like the wired sound better so you may be fine with it. It also might have to do with my car radio which is stock and not like the newer ones (94 s10 truck)

Should be acceptable out of the pocket when there are heavy terestrial signals, it should work. Mostly it's not well indoors. And you need a car kit (includes the dock) of this product.
