I am looking to listen to my mp3 player through a usb in my car. It doesn't have a 3.5mm port. Won't this cable feed power to my mp3 player? I don't want that. Will it fry my mp3 player?

I don't know if it will fry it but I know it won't work for what you want to use it for its for charging or connecting to a power source or computer it wont play music.

I ordered a separate cable so that I could connect my MP3 player to a wifi speaker. This same cable can be used in my vehicle so that I can play my MP3 player through the car speakers. This cable is about 2 feet long.

The transmitter plugs into a full-size USB port, so this product is not a good fit for MP3 players. However, it's GREAT for computer use and I highly recommend it.

I had to update my car stereo with one that has a MP3 jack. Without that MP3 jack my stereo couldn't play podcasts from my iPhone or music from my MP3 player (not necessarily iPod).

Yes that's correct. Use mode "Line". But mine is broken. Connect the aux cable in with my MP3 player, have to wiggle the plug to work. Other second unit works fine. I think the best use as MP3 player with micro SD or USB card.

Depends on what you mean. It is meant to connect your IPOD or various MP3 players to your radio. Plugs into the headphone jack. I was disappointed in the sound that it generated though. Buy a gold plated one if you need one.

Yes you can plug your phone in to it with the provided 3.5mm audio cable. It will then broadcast through the selected FM station. You can use the USB port to charge your phone or other device (no cable included), and supposedly to play mp3 media from a flash drive, although I have not tried this personally.

Hi Jovon, THis product only work with the help of the 12V Connection and by tuning to an FM SIgnal will play MP3 contained in the SD Card or the USB Port. kind regards, JQ

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.

Why on Earth would you think that is possible? A flash drive simply stores data. A 3.5mm jack only transmits audio. You would need a computer and software installed for your car's head unit to understand the data on the flash drive AND a way to get the data in to said computer which a 3.5mm jack could never accomplish.

There is an auxiliary input for 3.5mm, though I've never hooked my MP3 to it.

You would need an AUX jack in your car. If you do, just get a cable that has 3.5mm jacks on both ends and plug it in!

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! :)

Yes, I purchased the same one and it works perfectly. When plugged in, the MP3 will turn on automatically and the computer will find USB drivers. You might have hidden adware, spyware and or virus(s). try a good cleaning of your computer first. It is possible the cable is bad but mine works perfecly. Good Luck!

No. The USB port in the back of the unit is only for charging your devices, like your phone or ipod. If you use one of these portable devices it needs to hook up with the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Uhhhh, it depends on your situation. You can't control the iPod through the 3.5 mm cable. If you can connect the USB to a stereo and that stereo is controlled by a steering wheel then I imagine you could control an iPod from your steering wheel using this cable assuming you had stereo-iPod compatibility. But if you could connect this iPod to your stereo why would you need the 3.5 mm jack? (Maybe to play audio through a device other than the stereo?) I pulled apart my cable and can see that the data pins are connected (30-pin to USB).

No, this is only a power supply, what you need is some other device that the flash drive goes into that will play the mp3 files. There are plug-in (into car power ports) devices like that, but this is only a power supply.
