A:AnswerTo listen, you tune your radio to the preset frequency of the CD Player and it broadcasts a signal that is picked up by the radio. You can also listen with a headset. The USB port on the unit is for charging. The system works well. I use it to listen to books on CD on extended trips.
A:AnswerThough it plays through the car radio, the battery doesn't seem to want to allow the player to keep playing after a few songs. I went to return to store and salesman told me to try the USB that comes with unit first. When I plugged into USB port, the CD player continued to play through the radio with no interruptions. Instructions with unit don't really help, so I'm glad he suggested it. Works just great now.
A:AnswerYes, there are full instructions on how to install the unit. It took us a bit to figure it out with our vehicle, but it works fine. There is a clip where you clip the unit onto the air vents and it's magnetic so the CD player is held on by the magnet.
A:AnswerI agree. I guess the automotive industry has gone high tech, knowing that CD's are being phased out. So no quick plug-in.
Studebaker could have installed Bluetooth similar to a cellphone, but cost would have increased, then no one would buy it. I'm pleased with this player.
