So that the trips do not become so heavy and the famous "how much is left" is not heard too many times, we show you five different ways to connect your mobile to the car so that the music accompanies you on all journeys, both short and long. on the longest trips, especially now that there is little left for the summer holidays.
- USB: if your radio has a USB slot you can connect the mobile phone using a cable, depending on the mobile phone, sometimes the charger cable itself is used to connect it. This was the most common way to do it years ago, but today with new technologies it is used less and less.
- Car cigarette lighter: there are several types of devices that connect to the car's cigarette lighter and allow the phone to be linked by cable or even by 'bluetooth'. They are called radiofrequency transmitters, devices that create a frequency and send it to the car radio. In this way everything you connect to the transmitter you will hear on the radio.
- Auxiliary connection: if the car radio or the car's own stereo system has an 'aux' connection, also known as a headphone jack, you can connect your phone through this jack. You only need a 3.5 mm jack auxiliary cable to connect one end to the mobile and the other to the vehicle's 'aux' connection.
- 'Bluetooth': depending on the vehicle, it may have the 'bluetooth' connection integrated or the car radio may have it. To connect it you have to enable the 'bluetooth' connection from the 'smartphone' settings. The mobile itself will search for available devices and when selected it will link with the car radio.
- Cassette tape adapter: If your car is too old and has a cassette input, you can use a tape adapter to play the audio. You just have to insert the adapter into the cassette deck and connect it to the audio jack of the mobile.
If you don't have music downloaded to your phone's memory, don't despair, you can also use music applications such as Spotify, Apple Music, Google Music or any other streaming music service.
