Can this adapter be used in my car? I'd like to use it with my iPod touch. Also, is the sound static-y?

Yes it can. The output of this device is the standard 3.5mm audio plug, your car stereo need to either have the aux input or if your stereo has the RCA input (white and red L/R input) in the back you can use a 3.5mm to RCA converter cable. The device also needs a micro USB power input, something that plugs into the cigarette lighter will work. Sound is very clear, I use it at home connected to my living room receiver via 3.5mm cable, no static at all.

If you have a car adapter (for the lighter plug) I would imagine it would. But the device uses constant power so using it while the car is off would probably drain your battery. But make sure the adapter you use will provide continuous power, if not you might get a lot of drops or disconnections.

I have a similar adapter that I have used in a car. It removes the step of plugging in a stereo connector. I got software for my android that connects the bt device to my phone and starts the music player when the bt device is turned on. The missing step that OEM infotainment systems do is connect your device automaticlly when it enters the vehicle.

My daughter used it with iPod touch she now has an iPod 5 says you can purchase an adapter to use with this speaker but won't work without it. Hope this helps

No. The pins are wrong. This is for connecting an iDevice to something that only has Aux in or RCA in. You may want to look at a Bright or iLink 30-pin to bluetooth adaptor. That may or may not work, depending on your cable and car.

May be a bad device. My car is a 2005 so it should work in yours. I bought 3 and 1 was defective, i exchanged it and the new one works fine. I have used it with my IPOD and iphone5.

The adapter does hold well in the outlet of your vehicle. It is compatible with any device that has a headphone jack. The adapter is prone to spin around on your device, but I don't think this will cause any issues. Because, it connects through the headphone jack, it does not charge while it is playing. However, the adapter has a USB outlet on it where you could plug in your i-phone charger and charge it at the same time. I've had it for a about month now and haven't had any problems. Hope this helps!

My experience is that the USB is only used to POWER the device, not to actually transfer music data. To hear the music you have to use the headphone port on the opposite side and plug THAT into a "line in" on the car stereo. If you don't have a "line in" on your stereo, this product is probably not for you. Cheers.

This device connects to your car audio ONLY through FM transmitter. If you already have an aux in, you should use it instead. A simple cable from your phones headphone jack to the aux-in on your stereo should work.

I used it in my car, but the unit that it is connect to has another connection specific for iPods/iPhones. It works fine for storage devices so I think there should be a problem for what you may want to use it for

This unit is intended to broadcast Bluetooth so the only setup you can think about is plugin in to your iPhone and broadcast music. Still I think it would not work because the Bluetooth used in cars are primarily for phone calls. When I had an iPhone, I could not even use a regular Bluetooth headset to listen to music. I doubt it would work in a car.

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.

Hi Corinna, I was asked by Amazon to help try to answer your question. First let me tell you that this speaker ROCKS. I love it. I was thinking about getting another one just incase something happens to the one I have now. I am not sure with the IPOD or IPAD but I have the Iphone 5S and I bought the adapter on Ebay to take it from the 4th generation to the 5th and it works perfect. You will not be disappointed in the speaker PLUS it is bluetooth so in all honesty you should not even need an adapter

Sort of - you could buy a Lightning - 30-pin adapter. However, at that point, you might as well just buy an adapter that works for the Touch. Did you try Bluetooth to your audio system?

Don't know if it works for your car, I have a Prius. You will need an adapter and it has to be an official Apple one or it won't work. I suggest getting an iPod classic because we have experienced worse sound (an annoying buzz) when using it with an iPod Touch and my 5s (even with official Apple adapter). I would call they're tech support, they were very helpful although not that friendly. It's a good company, I had problems with my first one and they sent me another one really quickly. Good luck.

No you can't plug this in your car. If you can go with any adapter or converter you can use the same as you required

I returned mine, tried touse it for iPods and it kept blowing fuses in my car. Hated it.

I have it attached to a Sony Mp3 player in my Kia Sportage and I have never had any static, been using it for 6 months!

This is something I cannot answer ... My usage with this item is via my iPod classic. Sorry.
