I have a sirius xm radio that I connect to my car's aux port. However I just bought a car that does not have a aux port but does have a USB port. Is there an adapter that will allow me to connect my radio to my car to use the speakers?
 
Solution
Search for your make and model car plus aux input adapter if you can install one
A car stereo shop should be able to help if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.
The head unit of the car may support Sirius/XM without a full external receiver.
The easiest way is to replace the head unit with one that has an AUX input.

The USB port is essentially an MP3 player and there isn't any kind of adapter to do what you describe.
 
fm radio transmitters
bluetooth transmitters if your car supports it

you're positive it has no aux port? check inside the glovebox, armrest cavity. most modern cars should have something.
