How Would I Go About Using My Mp3 Player To Listen To Music In My Car With An Aftermarket Stereo?
I want to install an aftermarket stereo in my new car but i am planning to use an MP3 player to listen to my music in the car. What should I look for in a new stereo that would allow me to easily do this? I dont have an ipod and am not planning to buy or use one with my new stereo, my mp3 player would just be a regular one. I have seen aftermarket stereos with auxilary inputs in the front but most of them have them in the rear. Is this what I would use to connect my mp3 player to? does anybody listen to their mp3s in their cars a different way or have any ideas?

You can get a fm modulator that plugs into mp3 headphone jack,all you need to do then is tune car radio to a certain station,and it will play what your mp3 is playing,they have come down in price and you can probably get one for under 20.00.Radio shack,walmart,target,or ebay carry them,I have personally used BELKIN,and it is pretty good.
they make many affordable aftermarket stereos with auxilary inputs on the front for easy reach.
check out best buy ot a similar store and you should be able to find one with everything you could want for a good price
The aux input is what you use for the mp3 player. You can get the adapter from a place like radioshack that connects from your mp3 player to the radio aux input and your good. Also, you can run a plug to the rca input on some aftermarket radios that have them. Again you just buy the plaug from radioshack or Walmart and plug it in and your good. You can get either plug for 5 bucks or so, no need to spend $20 on the expensive ones for a plain system.
The Aux input is a good way to connect an MP3 player with a headphone o/p socket. You may need to get a suitable lead which can be readily purchased. Another idea is to get a stereo with a socket for SD cards. Copy your MP3 files to the card from your computer and plug it into the stereo. Some car stereos have the ability to plug in a USB drive with music files. The most labor intensive way to listen to MP3s is to get a stereo with a disc player that is capable of reading mp3 files and burn the music to disc.
Yes. I have a creative zen mp3 player with a ****load of music on it. You can use the cassette tape adapter for any car kit generally used for cd players. Just insert the cassette tape and plug the other end into your mp3 player……Or you can purchase a media center for your car. You just download tracks to a memory card and play em in you car…
As far as I know, the typre of radio doesn’t matter. If you have an Ipod, you just buy the Itrip and tune into 87.9. Hope this helps!
