how do you use your mp3 player in your car?

[ubermang]

just wanted to know how you guys connect portable players in your cars.
since my hummer h3 didnt come with an aux jack, i installed this adapter, and connected it to my ipod via rca-to-mini cable.
sure beats the fm transmitter that i had before.

i have the same setup except i use a LOD because the ipod headphone out sucks.

My headunit has dual RCA inputs in the back. I use that along with the lineout from my iPod or HP out from my D2.

Tape deck

Actually doesn't sound that bad.

Simple really, I plugged the Ipod into the Ipod Cable, and the head unit then controls the Ipod. It came standard with the car.

oh yes. as long as you get the good one, it's totally worth it. i use the sony cassette tape adapter for my acura, and i am completely satisfied.

Inexpensive Sony with Auxiliary I/P jack

Installed a USASpec Aux Input Adapter to the OEM head unit. Bought a ProClipUSA mount and cradle for my Cowon X5L. LOD was a DIY project.

I use my Sony Walkman cell phone with its special line out to a cassette adapter. I'm ghetto. When people call i hear their voice through my stereo and the line out on the phone has a microphone so I can talk hands free.

I just use my ipod headphone jack to the aux plug in the front of the head unit.

Pioneer 3900 that has an Aux in jack, connected to my iPod's Headphone jack.

some no name cassette adapter my friend gave me

One of these:

Belkin : Auto Kit for iPod w/ Dock Connector

It pulls sound out of the dock and has a small amp in that is powered by the car's 12v supply. It then has a mini jack that I connect to a tape adapter (a Sony that I've had for literally 12 years).
