plug mp3 player into car: Introduction
So there are various ways of listening to you ipod through your car radio. You don't want to have to put your headphones on in your car that'll be a bit daft and sometimes mad and dodgy. You can with the right equipment turn your car into your own personal ipod. As they say there are many ways of skinning a cat. There are many ways of plugging your iPod into your car radio. What will you do A. take the time and effort and burn all your songs onto a cd, B. put up with th radio its not that bad or C. Find a way of plugging your iPod into your car.
So where do you start you may be asking. The first thing you need to think about is how much you're willing to spend on the solution. You may want the all singing all dancing solution or your may want a cheap wire that you plug into you ipod and then into your radio.
How do I plug my mp3 player into my car: Options
So we shall begin here are your options
Option 1: iPod adapter to cassette tape
This is the not only the cheapest option but also this is simple a lead that fits into your headphone jack socket and then it has a cassette that you put into your car radio. I personally think that this is not the right option I wouldn't go for this one as you have to have wires everywhere and it can be fiddly. These cables generally cost you between $8 - $20(4 - 10). But also on the downside most new car radios don't have a cassette player.
Option 2: iPod radio transmitter.
This option is a small device that plugs into the bottom of your iPod and it will transmit what ever you're playing to your radio. You simply set what frequency you want to transmit and then tune your radio into the same station and hey presto you can here your favourite iPod tune. This unit will set you back $40 - $80 (20 - 40). There is a downside 1. You have to do some tweaking to get a good signal i.e. you may have to search for a good frequency to use. 2. You can buy them over the counter in the UK as they are classed as Radio Transmitters, but you can buy them on the internet.
Option 3: iPod compatable radio
This option means that you have to replace the whole of your radio. There are many radios out there that you can plug your ipod straight into it via usb. This option can cost from 130+ . This is what I think the cleanest solution as you don't need any new wires you just need the one that came with your ipod. This means that the sound will be the best quality that you can get out of your ipod.
How do I plug my mp3 player into my car: Conclusion
Okay there you go there are many other options out there some include buying a BMW as most models now come with built in system for plugging your iPod into it. Hope you got all your ideas.
