HEADPHONES NEEDED... POINTLESS WITH AN AUX IN JACK

I was planning to plug this item into the AUX IN option on my car stereo and home stereo. Only problem is that by doing so, you essentially have no signal.
The headphones that come with it are the antenna. This is great for someone who wishes to use it at the gym... on the bus... or jogging or something... but makes it worthless if you plan to plug it into anything else.
I bought this on sale for $40, and for the money liked the headphones and the rechargable battery and the arm band. But, when I plugged it into the car... pointless! No signal without its headphones!!!
I was not about to buy a splitter to test to see if that would work... so it went back to Best Buy.
What's great about it: The HD Radio does sound VERY CLEAR, USB recharge
What's not so great: The headphones that come with it are the antenna... pointless without them
