You have a couple of options at Radio Shack. We went the cheap way and got a cord that had male connections on both ends. (Looks like a double ended headphone cord.) Works fine, plugs right into the outlet on the radio. But, it won't charge it back up.

The store we went to actually has a little kit that would plug into the radio and charge it up at the same time. More expensive, but is nice to have, especially for road trips.

using the cord that baby doll uses will still leave the usb port open so you can plug your 12v car charger in at the same time your using it. the only other option is to get a FM modulator but the sound is as goos as listening to the radio
