You need to make sure the voltage and ampage match. Otherwise you'll kaput it.

did it come with a cigarette adaptor
if yes plug away car power is 12 volts the adaptor will work the same as in the us
if it didn't come with an adaptor you would need to find out what voltage the player needs and get a suitable adaptor
usually not a good idea to charge the battery on the cigarette lighter
but you could buy a step down converter in peats to charge the battery
