Do you need an AUX port in the car to use the handsfree feature?

No you don't. Just set your phone up for hands free answer and when it rings all you have to do is tap the phone and you can talk to the other party. Whatever you previously were listening to becomes muted and once the phone call is over the former application automatically is restored.

The device goes in a cigarette lighter input. The bluetooth capability or wireless capability is for the device you want to connect it to, ie cell phone, mp3 player, etc. You don't need auxillary input or bluetooth ability in your car. You do need a radio in your car though.

Yes you can use the headphones without Bluetooth if you use the aux cables.

there is no AUX In port on this. the only connector is the USB for charging the device.

If you were to speak on the phone while the FM transmitter is plugged in, you will be able to hear the audio from your phone through the speakers from your car. However, the caller on the other end may receive sound feedback because he/she may be able to hear his/her voice from your end of the line. It is not recommended that this item be used as a hands-free calling device.

Nop. AUX is a MUST.. look for a Bluetooth kit that uses FM frequency to connect to your car's Audio system instead. I have seen one "Belkin" before

This device connects to your car audio ONLY through FM transmitter. If you already have an aux in, you should use it instead. A simple cable from your phones headphone jack to the aux-in on your stereo should work.

No. You'll need to buy the aux cable and run it from the rear of the unit. Great head unit though. Had in my boat and it works great

Yes. I do it all the time. Everything works when it's plugged in. The sound of navigation apps comes thru the speakers too. It's basically like charging it, or docking it on a radio dock. It's just charging it and redirecting sound to your car. (phone calls wont come thru the speakers just by having it docked...it will if you plug in chord into the headphone jack on the Iphone, and the other end of that wire into the headphone jack on the radio, then switch the mode on the radio).

It works for me. One thing weird about the dock is that all audio is sent to the the aux jack EXCEPT for phone calls. No sound comes out of the phone speakers unless you make a phone call. You can use the speakerphone function, but the call may not be loud enough for you. So, if you have the phone connected to the dock, you need to have either the AUX or Bluetooth selected on your car stereo and the unit turned on, or you will hear nothing.

If your talking about the built in microphone for the Bluetooth hands-free calling you don't have to plug anything in for that. If its not working the microphone is either defective or the setting in your phone are not allowing input from that microphone. What is the year make and model of your vehicle?

No wish I would have known you couldn't plug aux or headphones to it before I bought it. If u have a iphone u can hook that up to it though

Yes, it can hook up to hands free car kits, headphones, and speakers without any difficulties. I no longer use it as a phone; it is now a super-cool mp3 player that I use with bluetooth speakers.

No it doesn't need an AUX it works by streaming music wirelessly over an Fm station on your stereo.You need a power outlet like a lighter socket.

Yeah you can, just go to your Bluetooth settings and it should be an option to change it. But I recommend you get the gogroove Bluetooth audio aux receiver, its way better for the car. I made the switch!

No built in transmitter to the Car Radio. Without the car Aux port you could only charge the i-device. Look around amazon because they make this one in a model that comes with an FM Transmitter. I actually own that one too before I had a car with an Aux port.

No,As long as you have an Aux port you will not need bluetooth capabilty. It will even allow you to tune into a radio station so you can transmit a bluetooth signal.
