How do I plug my mp3 player into my car: Options

Option 1 : iPod adapter cables

Here is the cheap option you can get two different types of cables. Depending on your radio you may have an aux-in socket. In my car it is in the glove box if you do great you will just need to get a double ended headphone cable. 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. This cable will set you back £4 - £10

Option 2: iPod Radio transmitters

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. It then uses the power off your iPod to power itself and then it transmits what ever you're playing onto your radio. It is easy to use you for example set your iPod radio transmitter to 84.00 fm and then tune your radio into the same 84.00 fm and you can then play your iPod music on your car radio. The unit cost about £20 - £40.

Option 3: iPod compatable radio

This option means that you have to replace the whole of your radio. This is simple a car radio that accepts a usb connection to it. So you don't need to have any other wires apart from the one that came in the box. This option will set you back starting from £130+. There are some high end systems that have Sat nav built in that cost about £700.
