Connect Smartphone to Car Sound system

[ozdennisb]

Is there any way in which, apart from bluetooth, a Samsung S5 smartphone can be amplified through the sound sytem.of an older car which does not have either bluetooth, or an inport (whether usb or jack)?

What connections do you have - any at all? You can fit something that will let you connect your phone, as long as you're happy doing that.

If you happen to have an old cassette player in the car, you can get adaptors that will let you connect a 3.5mm jack or bluetooth pair to it:

Thank you Ian
Inasmuch as I do not have any input ports or cassette play inbuilt into the car systemI thought it most likely that I would need to access the existing system through adding a port. Thankyou for confirming that.. It well appears that the considerable reconfiguration and additional cable connection required to effect what is needed, probably would not be cost effective. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you and all at AF.

Yeah, you just need a jack to jack cable. Straight from the headphone socket to the car headphone socket, this will drain your phone battery, rapidly, though.

Thankyou leaudiophile . As indicated in my last post, the vehicle does not have any input sockets, including a headphone socket. New Year blessings to you. .
