Hi will this item work in Australian model cars or will I need a voltage transformer?

Works fine on my NZ car. Cigarette lighters are all 12 volts. The app for the phone has a number of regional settings so that it can be tuned to the best frequency. And it charges my iphone quickly which is a good thing.

It will work without a transformer. The car battery voltage in the us is the same as car battery anywhere, 12V.

Save your money. Mine has never worked and their customer service is completely unresponsive.

It does fit but uncertain if you'll need a power converter/adaptor for Australia.

reading through previous questions shows that the ac adaptor is good for 110-230v so should be fine for australia. all you need is an adaptor plug (2 angled flat pins instead of the us style 2 parallel flat pins).

This is the right adapter for US devices to plug into Australia/New Zealand power outlets - I've used many of them myself in Australia. But remember it does not convert the power. Some devices (e.g., hairdryers) will also require a transformer to convert the local power to something the device can handle, otherwise it will burn out (danger!). US devices are built for 110 or 120 volt input, while NZ will be supplying at 220 or 240 volt. Read the fine print on your device's power supply cord or owner's manual to see what type of voltage the device is expecting. Other devices (e.g., laptops and mobile phones) are more flexible and accept 110 to 240 volt input, so you'll only need the plug adapter for those devices, but read up on your models to be sure. In short, use plug adapters for physically getting your plugs into the outlet, but also take a 240 to 120v transformer (step down transformer) for any devices that expect 120v input when the supply is 240v. Happy travels!

It has a block transformer plug.The transformer label on mine says it takes 100-240 volts at 50/60 Hz, so it sounds universal. Mine has an American two prong plug, so one would need the Australian three prong adapter plug. I suppose this is sold elsewhere besides the US so you might find one with the appropriate regional plug. the cord output is 9 volts and plugs into a jack on the back of the unit There is an electron push button switch on the back that turns it on (i.e., if it ever loses power, you have to turn it back on). Hope this is helpful.

Byron, I would think that it would work in Australia, given the range of voltage. I would contact Polk Customer Service. Their Tech. Dept. is better equipped to answer your question in full.Good luck!

Don't know, never got to use it , as unknown to me , living in Australia, the US voltage was incompatible with ours, & the cost & size of a transformer made it useless. Learnt a valuable lesson!!

the unit is low voltage (a transformer is provided with the unit to convert AC to DC), is rack mounted and designed for recording and live sound. so, it would be a stretch to make it work. I do not know what DC voltage the unit runs on nor do i know if the voltage dips and spikes experienced in a car would damage or impeded the performance of the unit.

Mine has the normal American 120 V plug. Not sure what you have in Australia. But, converters are not hard to come by if you really want the machine.

You'll need a power invertor to go from the 12VDC a car has to 120VAC the device needs. But basically the answer is no.

The charger already has a "flip-out" plug for USA AC use. All you need for Australia is a USA to Australia plug adapter (voltage will be OK), like this:BoxWave US/ EU to AU/NZ Plug Adapter - Plug outlet adapter from America or Europe to Australia and New Zealand

The unit is compatible with Australia's 230V 50Hz current. You'd need an adapter plug like Amazon's Grounded Universal 2 in 1 Plug Adapter Type I for Australia, China, New Zealand and more - High Quality - CE Certified - RoHS Compliant in order to plug the unit into an Australian outlet.

The operating voltage is 120VAC, 60Hz for North America region. Australia is using 230VAC at 50Hz power system. This will not work in Australia region.

The radio is sold internationally, so that for greater voltage should be available. Please check with the seller. I really like mine. I know that it uses a transformer for a 8.5 volts in the USA. There should be some sort of what you need there. It is just a matter of voltage. It does use a transformer. I know that. I know there is a converter to go from voltage of other countries to that of the USA. Surely there is the opposite too, if needed.

You will be able to hook it up yourself, but I'm not sure if it will work with the voltage in Austalia.

If you "Google" "Do I need an electric adaptor, you will find the information you need. Here is the link: http://askville.amazon.com/electrical-converter-travel-Australia-month/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=2564574 It states that you do need both an adaptor and a converter.
