How can I listen to audiobooks in my car without a CD player?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

One option to listen to audiobooks in your car without a CD player is to use your Android smartphone. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Open the Audible app on your Android smartphone. If you don’t have the app, you can download it from the Google Play Store.

2. Connect your Android phone to your car’s stereo. Most modern car stereos have a USB port that you can use to connect your phone. Use a USB cable to connect the phone to the car’s stereo.

3. Once the connection is established, select an audiobook to play on your Android phone. You can browse through your Audible library and choose the audiobook you want to listen to.

4. Once you start playing the audiobook on your Android phone, it should automatically switch to play through your car stereo. You should be able to control the playback using the car’s stereo controls or the steering wheel controls, depending on your car’s capabilities.

If your car doesn’t have a USB port or if you prefer to use your iPhone, there is another option:

1. Plug your iPhone into the USB port of your car using the appropriate USB cable. Make sure the cable is compatible with your iPhone model and your car’s stereo system.

2. Once your iPhone is connected, open the Audible app or any other audiobook app you prefer. Select the audiobook you want to listen to.

3. Depending on your car’s stereo system, it should automatically recognize the iPhone and switch the audio output to play through the car’s speakers. Alternatively, you may need to manually select the iPhone as the audio source using the car’s controls.

4. Once the audio is playing through your car’s speakers, you can control the playback using the car’s stereo controls or the steering wheel controls, if available.

These methods allow you to listen to audiobooks in your car without a CD player. It’s convenient and allows you to enjoy your favorite books while on the go.
