MP3 players in your car

[Echewta]

FM or hardwire? What have you found that works best?

[The Notorious LOL]

a cheap sony cd player with an AUX input on the front.

That does not help my Nano. Help my Nano NLOL. Help it.

[skra75]

yeah man. get a two-way headphone cable, they're dirt cheap at radio shack, then hook it up, no big deal. sounds fine.

[Echewta]

I dont have an input in the front of said car stereo though.

[skra75]

a) buy a new stereo, a cheap one with an aux-out per NLOL
b) get the iTrip thing for the Nano, but that might not help you because all the low-band stations in LA are taken up with bad local radio stations.

[The Notorious LOL]

the total cost to me for doing the new cd player route was $99 for the deck, $2 for the aux cable.

Cassette adapter that plugs into the headphone jack on my way-cooler-than-an-ipod mp3 player.

[TurdBerglar]

do cars even come with cassette decks anymore?

[milleson]

I drive a 2001 Jetta, and it sure as hell did.

I have a video Ipod, and I use this thing (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7048312&type=product&id=1107956964452). It was quite a bit more expensive than the Itrip, but I had heard about a lot of problems and static with Itrip. It gives you the option to have 3 stations loaded, and once I found a clear one, it's been awesome.

Echewta...FM transmitter. If you are basically just playing 128 kbit/s mp3's and aren't running some pimp hi-fi stereo it won't really matter as far as quality goes. That and you could take the FM transmitter with you in another car.

Even though Apple released that iTrip thingamabobbi any old FM transmitter should work because it uses the 1/8th in. headphone jack on the iPod.

EDIT : Dandy, that looks like a good product but you pay out the ass for Monster products. He could get something comparable for less than 1/3 the price you paid.

[DandyFop]

Yeah it was way expensive. But, whatever, it's been worth it so far (y)

[marsdaddy]

Satellite radio is the way to go.

I love my 30G black video and non-existant car!

Hmmm, but skra75 makes a point about the low band stations being taken up. Except they do not suck. 89.9 is the best radio station on the planet.

Living in L.A. could make the iTrip thing a iProblem because of all the other Ipoders on the road next to me. I don't want to hear anyone's Jewel.
