I'll speak up for the underrepresented cassette adapter. I have a $20 one from Target, and it sounds great. No static, no noise, no problems at all.

Becoming more and more rare to find a vehicle with a cassette player though.

Ok i can not connect to in car radio so hands down what is the best solution out there? Dont care about price.
Please help thanks


Either get a new head unit that has a 3.5mm jack or have a wired FM modulator installed that will connect via 3.5mm jack

DO NOT go with a wireless modulator...if you get in an area with a lot of strong FM stations your signal will sound like crud.

I have wired FM modulator in my 02 Infiniti I35...factory unit...sounds awesome.

cost about a 100 bucks to get it installed

If price isn't an option don't cheap out with an fm modulator.

While they work just fine, they reduce the audio quality to that of FM radio.

If you want higher quality sound you'll want to either go with a hardwire, or BT.

Never heard a BT connection...is it CD quality?

BT is Bluetooth. I'm using it in my car. There's no loss in quality. I made a couple threads on my experience getting the Droid to play music in my car. Then I use Settings Profiles to launch Pandora when I put the Droid in my car dock.

If you're not worried about cost, I'd get a head unit with built in Bluetooth.

I just might go with the black berry gateway. I can hide it in the glove box...

cisco0910, no static at all it is the most power output on any fm transmitter I have tried, and as said I tried a lot of them
all Fm stations are tunable on the one I have click Amazon link, the second link I posted, the first link is not tunable to any station, and this is needed in most cities,
like I said works good in all 3 cars and motorcycle, very happy with it.

only a 6 inch bazooka?!? s*** man if price dont matter i would throw in a 1000 watt amp hooked up to dual 14 inch sub, and thats only for the bass!

but yea bluetooth does sound awesome

like i said before, the woman would kill me if i did that. I have a Scion xA, it is small, but trust me that little sub packs a punch!
