Any of you guys use one? I've been reading online and it seems like the cassette type is the way to go. But I'm not sure which one is good because I saw some on Amazon that got pretty horrible reviews.

Mandy had one for her ipod nano that plugged into the lighter and she said it broke within a couple months. Now this is her saying it. I never went out and tried to get it to work so it could be something stupid. Actually I should try and do that because she was asking for a new one for Christmas and there's no point if that one still works. She doesnt have a cassette player so she cant go with that method. But yeah I heard a lot of them are pieces of shit.

My car didn't have an aux input button for my sirius reciever so I bought one of these things.

If you hook it into your ipod you can browse folders and shit with the factory radio. Its the only one I've ever used and it worked well the whole 2 times I used it for the ipod. It is a bit pricey though if you have other options. For me I needed to add the AUX plug and the cheapest I found online was $100. The extra $50 for this thingy which allows up to 3 devices, plus use of the ipod if I want, was worth it to me.

I had one that sucked huge monkey balls. You had to change the radio to a station that didn't have signal but when your driving from where I live to almost DE you get all kinds of static in between. It didn't use the speakers properly and it eventually broke. It was a piece of shit and I want to get a new one but I want something that connects to my car without the bs. The one Invisible sent a link to looks like a very good option.

yeah that is a bit pricey, and only seems to work with a few car models and manufacturers. i'm lucky that my car has an aux in, so i just got a cheap cable from radio shack and the zune goes right into my car stereo.

Assassin. I haven't been around in some time. What have you and the Bug been up to these days?
