Connecting a phone to a car or speaker with AUX is usually straightforward.

1. Find the AUX input on your car stereo or speaker and select the AUX source.
2. If your phone has a 3.5mm jack, use a 3.5mm male-to-male cable and plug both ends in firmly.
3. If your phone uses USB-C, use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter or a USB-C to 3.5mm aux cable. Some phones may require an adapter that includes digital-to-analog conversion.
4. Adjust volume on both the phone and stereo and pause other audio connections like Bluetooth if they switch your sound.

You can browse cables and adapters on Walmart.com and choose pickup or delivery.

A few simple checks can help get sound working.

• Select the correct source: Set the stereo to AUX and confirm it stays on that input.
• Reseat the cable: Push plugs in fully; thick cases can prevent a snug fit.
• Check volumes: Turn up the phone and car stereo, and disable mute.
• Try another cable: Damaged or worn cables are common culprits.
• USB-C phones: Some models don’t output analog audio and may need a compatible USB-C audio adapter.
• Test the AUX port: Plug in a different audio source to confirm the port works.

If you need a replacement cable or adapter, you can shop options on Walmart.com.

Setup varies by vehicle, but these steps often help.

1. Locate the AUX port: It’s commonly in the center console, armrest compartment, or glove box.
2. Use a 3.5mm cable: Plug a 3.5mm male-to-male cable from your phone to the AUX input and select AUX on the stereo.
3. No headphone jack? Use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter or a USB-C to 3.5mm aux cable.
4. If there’s only a USB port: That may be for charging or media. An AUX input (if present) is needed for analog cables. A small Bluetooth receiver that plugs into AUX can be another option.

Consult your vehicle’s manual for port locations. Set up while parked for safety.

For phones without a 3.5mm jack, look for:

• USB-C to 3.5mm aux cable for direct connection to car stereos and speakers with AUX.
• USB-C audio adapter plus a standard 3.5mm cable. Some phones may require an adapter that performs digital-to-analog conversion.
• Practical details: Choose a length that reaches comfortably (often 3–6 ft), consider braided jackets for durability, and low-profile or right-angle plugs to reduce strain.
• Use case: Coiled cables can help keep dashboards tidy.

You can compare cable types and features on Walmart.com and pick up in-store or get delivery.

Yes, many tablets can send audio to a car’s AUX input.

1. 3.5mm jack tablets: Use a 3.5mm male-to-male cable and select AUX on the stereo.
2. USB-C tablets: Use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter or a USB-C to 3.5mm aux cable.
3. Set volumes: Start with the tablet around mid-level and adjust the car stereo to taste.
4. Fit matters: Ensure the plug seats fully; bulky cases can block the connector.
5. Keep it tidy: A coiled or shorter cable can reduce clutter around controls.
