mp3 car hookup question

[pyar_deewane]

I was wondering how I can listen to my mp3 player through my car stereo...the car doesnt have a cassete player...so i cant use the cassette adaptor but I was wondering if I can still listen to my songs???:dunno:

:clap: any help appreciated:clap:

[EK 2.0]

FM Modulator...or if the deck has AUX inputs...run the player through those...either thru a Mini to RCA cable or a Mini to Mini cable...

[pyar_deewane]

ok so the deck has no aux inputs...so where can I get FM modulator and how much would it cost:rolleyes:

Futureshop, for liek 50 bucks

Just be prepared for a downgrade in sound quality.

[pyar_deewane]

so if its a downgrade in soundgrade is gonna be bad...are there n e alternatives:confused:

[TeamBestBud]

get a deck

[pyar_deewane]

and so how will i be able to play my mp3 songs on the deck?:dunno:

thanks for the help

Some decks have an MP3 player input jack as mentioned by EK 2.0 above.

Other decks can also play MP3s burned to a CD (i.e. burn 150+ songs on a CD as data files). The songs do not have to be burned as an audio CD.

aight thanks i think i might try out the fm modulator..if its bad then i'll just get a new deck hopefully:thumbsup:

FYI, this is the one I tried and returned due to shitty sound quality. YMMV.

Depending on your car model, you can get one of these..

It plugs into the back of your factory stereo.

I have one in my civic and it works great.

If your gonna get a new deck, don't cheap out as you'll have it for a while. I bought a decent Panasonic deck that has the mini jack in the front of the deck, so it's removable, but i'm having issues with discs right now so I need to clean the heads (at least i'm hoping that's it)

Make sure you buy somethin that'll last a while... Also, some people prefer to just get a transmitter for an ipod instead of a new deck, because they don't want to burn cd after cd when you tastes change.

those jvcs are decent decks for the price!

I like the new Alpine decks. If you have an ipod they are perfect.
