Default [OT] Playing mp3s in the car

The issue with these is that the quality is pretty naff and the motors in
the cassette run all the time which is very wasteful. the fm stereo way
sounds best if set up properly, ie not overdriven.

eBay item 291474623251 which plugs into the cigarette lighter
and plays from SD card. I think the idea is the output is picked up by
the car radio, and plays through the usual car speakers.

Have I understood correctly?


Yes, the basic "iTrip" functionality, it's an FM transmitter.

Any other suggestions?


You can also get MP3 players that are built into a cassette shell that
play into the car's stereo via the tape heads
