Head Units for Car MP3 Players?

Posted by Cliff on from the cool-conversation-pieces-for-the-dashboard dept.

dotcomian asks: "The idea of hooking our iPod to our car's audio system so far is our best shot for musics on the go in cars, however, it requires a double investment to the head unit. I'm wondering if someone has a better way to replace cd-changers with MP3 jukeboxes, the head units would be the controller and/or a CD player. I've found several websites from google's search result, but nothing is close to what I have in mind. Any ideas?"

  1. iPod to FM!!! by GreenKiwi · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have been trying to figure out what to do. I got given a head unit that doesn't have an aux input. (which if you have, you can hook your iPod up directly) At any rate, I found a great solution to my problem. A little FM transmitter. There are a number of these things on the market, I chose the one from iRock. It has been working extremely well.

  2. MP3 Jukebox... for the home? by ImaLamer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've personally (off-topic) been looking for something that would play MP3 discs and hold about 50 or so CD's at once.

    I've seen 150+ CD Players for as low as $99, how much for the same thing which will decode MP3 data discs?

    It sure would be nice to have that library of MP3 discs (around 200, that is ~7 albums per CD (1400 CD's-all mine)) play... on random.

    If this is a good question mod it up... it's only karma
