You will have to purchase a power supply with a 12 volt DC output capable of handling the current draw of the car radio. Try "Google" to find the manufacturer's specification sheet for the radio. In the specs. will be the amp draw of the radio. With this information you will know what amperage the output of the power supply needs to be.

Why do ac radios still have a soft hum after being turned off?
When you turn the radio off, you interrupt the AC supply from the wall outlet to the radio's power supply. If there's energy stored in the power supply components at the time, then the radio continues to operate on that energy. An AC power supply typically includes large-value electrolytic capacitors, which continue to power the radio for a short time until they're discharged.
Will an American radio work in Spain?
Yes. The Spanish radio stations we were able to browse on line have the same channel frequencies as FM in the USA. Just be careful about how you power it! You're certainly aware that the voltage out of the wall-outlet in European countries is about double the voltage from an American AC outlet, and you need to carry a converter to be able to use most of your American appliances in Europe. That goes for your radio too, if it's a plug-in.
What does radio transmitter change electricity to?
A radio transmitter changes most of the electricity that it gets from a wall outlet or a battery to heat. A small portion of it becomes energy that radiates out from the transmitting antenna and can be detected by receivers some distance away.
What is the energy transformation in a radio?
A radio receiver converts electrical energy into heat and sound energy.The electrical energy comes from the batteries in the radio or the wall-outlet that it'splugged into. The tiny tiny tiny bit of electrical energy from the current in the antennathat's caused by the radio waves that hit it is used to control the real energy in theradio, but doesn't directly add anything to it.If you've ever used a boy-scout "crystal set" radio, and remember how soft the soundis in the earphones, that's how much energy is actually drawn from the radio waves.Not much !
Why does my radio go static when my furnace is running?
try plugging in your radio in a different wall plug. you might be sharing the same circuit causing noise in the line.
What is battery-powdered radio?
A radio that gets power from batteries instead of the outlet on the wall.
Should an all-in-one scanner be plugged into the wall outlet?
No reason not to as long as the wall outlet is the correct voltage. most are designed to be plugged into a 110v outlet.
Can a radio give you an electric shock?
If your radio plugs into the wall outlet for power, then there are points inside it that would shock you if you were to touch them.
Have a wall outlet that when you turn the light switch on the outlet has no power need help?
Change the wall outlets
Can you plug a CB radio into a standard wall outlet?
They do make base station CB radios, which run off of 120v AC power.
A power supply receives 120 volts of power from a wall outlet and converts it to?
A power supply receives 120 volts of AC power from a wall outlet and converts it to 3.3, 5, and 12 volts of DC power.
Is 124 volts TOO HIGH for household wall outlet in USA?
Normal voltage for 120volt outlets is 110v to 130v. It would vary depending on the length and size of the wire to the nearest power company transformer, and the different voltage terminals on the transformer that the power company connects.
How would you supply power to a TV DVD player and Wii system when these items are on a wall that has no power outlet and the outlet is on the opposite wall across the room?
You could use an extension cord.
What is the input energy of an electric drill?
Some use AC electric power from a wall outlet. Some use DC electric power from a rechargeable battery (but this was originally charged using AC electric power from a wall outlet).
What fits on a desk and runs on power from an electrical wall outlet?
Desktop
Can you splice a car stereo into a wall outlet?
No. Car stereos run on 12v DC power. A wall outlet, depending on where in the world you are, gives out either 110-120 or 220-240v AC power.
