I had to buy a special connector (it wasn't expensive). Wal Mart has them. Or so does amazon. The MP3 o my car wouldn't read it either.

I do not havr a sd card i play music from my cell phone through the car mp3 player,so you should be able to listen to songs from your mp3

You can just connect to your mp3 player, but this unit is a piece of crap so I'd avoid it if I were you and invest in something better such as this Excelvan FM Transmitter Car Charger Compatible with Apple iPhone 4 3GS 3G iPod TOUCH MP3

I did a sync through the micro USB but never tried the music through it since I use the headphone jack in the car, it has a narrow adapter for headphone plug if your headphone jack is too thick....

Yes, you can.If you have an AUX jack in your stereo, you can use a 3.5 double male cable to jam in your car. (any radio shack)It sounds great with this player, btw.Many new cars come stocked with the mp3player aux jack.

If your car has an usb slot, and you correctly install your car files & download your music onto that file it should work. But just downloading music and plugging the drive in your car wouldn't do anything

I think the USB only charges the unit. I have only successfully played sound with the aux

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.

I have had my radio for over a year now. I had problems the first time I tried to play music from a USB flash drive. I tried another drive and it worked fine. I have no idea why the first one didn't work but formatted the second one and it worker perfectly.

microUSB to USB is what you need. plug it in like any other USB mp3 player and it will be recognized by any compatible device: pc, sound system, etc.

Plug it into your adapter port in your car (formally cigarette lighter hole). Then use aux cable included with device and plug one end into your smartphone and the other into the port on the right side of the fm transmitter device. Make sure frequency on transmitter device matches that on your car's radio (I.e. make sure both say 99.1 FM). Play songs from your phone and they will be broadcast through your car's radio. Alternatively, you can plug in a USB key into the slot underneath the face of the transmitter. There is an SD port there as well I believe. Mine works great and I've had it for about a month. Also, if sound is fuzzy, try switching frequencies (99.1 to 99.2, etc.) Hope that helps! Plug it into your adapter port in your car (formally cigarette lighter hole).

Your best bet is to use the iSimple IS77PRO Universal Audio Input Interface which helps you make the most of your mobile devices and your vehicle's sound system. You can use it with any factory or aftermarket car audio receiver to enjoy your favorite playlists from your MP3 player over your vehicle's speakers. It transmits stereo audio from external audio sources to your FM radio. It also transmits video from video-capable iPods, iPhones and iPads. A wireless remote is also included for convenient volume and channel adjustments. It also provides 2.1A of power to charge compatible devices.

You must first tune your car radio to a blank station. Then set the FM transmitter to the same frequency. Once they are both on the same channel the FM transmitter should "take over". Just plug your mp3 player or whatever you use to the FM transmitter and it will broadcast on the station you set the transmitter to. I've even had friends in other cars next to me tune to the same station and listen to my music. The signal is pretty strong.

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! :)

I have tried to use the CD for my car and it would not play. I am not sure why. I have not had time to troubleshoot. If I findout through tech support, I will get back to you.
