| Way to play my Mp3 player in my car
Ok I've gotten sick of burning cds. So how can I play the songs off my mp3 player in my car without taking apart the console.
Don't have a tape player in my car

do you have an AUX port on your unit maybe? You could also buy one of those FM transmitters, where you hook it up to your mp3 player, and tune in your car radio to FM 89.9 or something similar. | |

It will clip your highs at 16000HZ, but a FM transmitter is your best bet. About $20 for a generic model.

Another option would be an fm modulator. It hooks into your antenna cable and has better reception than an fm transmitter. They start around $20.00. You would have to install it though. | |

Takes the input from an external device and turns it into FM signal, which you then tune at a set frequency. At least that's how I understand it. We have one at work for XM. |

If you go with an fm transmitter, I have heard that the transmitters that plug into your cigarette lighter work better than the battery powered ones.
