In car CD player?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I don't think many of them come with built in turntables, so you're safe there ;)

Amazon seems to have a decent selection of them, so that's probably the easiest place to do a price/features comparison rather than a raw google search. Other than that, I haven't a clue :P

And the non sensible reply...(Sorry Motz) is -
I traded my old car in for a new one and got them
to throw in a CD Multi thingy in the price, was cheaper
than upgrading the Stereo.

And before you think that is crass, the old car was 10 years old and worth about £300 (RIP RAE- old Alfas never die they just leak oil all over the place), all I had on tape was a Barrowlands boot from Big Si and a third generation copy of Some Girls...

If you've got a CD Walkman, just buy an adapter and slip it in the tape deck.

Job done, and you can take it with you when you've finished your drive.

The same technology should work with your iPod, MP3 player or anything else you can plug headphones into.

I had to persuade the last person who sold me a car _not_ to chuck in a CD player: I need that cassette slot!

The tape player in my car doesn't like those adapters. Image I had to buy an iTrip.

I'v' got a tape adaptor for my wee MP3,but it only holds about 30 or so songs :urff: ,and you still get a real"hiss"like a normal tape,but if I'm aswell spending the money on a bigger MP3 or ipod that might be as good and a more versitile option,just seems you get a better "quality"sound from a CD player?.

In a car there's so much background noise that tape hiss is the least of your worries, surely? Unless you have a particularly old and knackered tape deck, of course.

Halfords

some they'll even fit free when you buy it...others cost £40 to fit...

personally...Sony CDX-S2250S CD Tuner is the one

I just listen to Radio 4, Honest!
and Terry in the morning (of course) and Stuart Maconie (on the way home) at what they call 'Drivetime' when he's depping for Johnny Wanker. I do hate Johnny Wanker and his lame banter with Sally. Methinks I should visit him for a good stabbing! :evil:
