VP and In-Car Audio.

[Hornby]

Hello there again folks,

Little question - Can I connect the VP to my car stereo or whatever so that I can use the tunes on my VP, rather than having to copy onto CD's etc.

Thanks,

Marcus.

(give me some links to any connectors I may need)

Have a look aFM transmitters here.

These just plug into the MP3 player and you tune your radio into the same frequency. Look at ones which have variable frequency because this gives you the best options.

In a recent post various members of this forum mentioned that there are good deals on e-bay.

I own a tunecast II, and I am happy with it, but it does use batterys ++++.

Disclaimer: For some privative reason you need at broadcasters licence to use these legally in the UK.:smileylaugh:

cant you just use a cable or something like that?

[GBS]

A cable would need somewhere to plug into. Sadly, no one that I have seen has put a microphone socket at the front of a car stereo...
Seems a bit daft to me.

At the moment I have the tape deck component out of my car system and I just need to work out which wires switch off the radio (and switch on the tape) when a tape goes in. I also need to identify the wires which carry the signal to the amp. Once I've got this sorted I will put a 3.5mm stereo jack at the front of the system and wallah.....MP3 input to car by cable.

This is the only option, other than the things listed on the site above.

Depends on your car... some fit aux-in sockets as standard, others (BMW for sure) allow you to buy them - then you can fit it yourself (if you're feeling brave) or they will do it for you for a small(ish!) fee.

Check with your local dealer...

Stix -thanks for that.

I have found it here.

Cool.:smileycool:

For UK look here.

Stix - I could hug you:smileygrin: :smileygrin: :smileygrin:
This solves my problem big time.

GBS... glad to be of help. Good luck with the install 🙂

Have a look at whether your radio has a telephone input socket, and if it has wire it into it's input and job done. Otherwise look at maplins in car fm modulator (L75AY) at £29.99. I recently bought mine for £19.99 and as it is a proper wired in unit, you get a pretty good sound, and no batteries to worry about replacing either.

use one of these



you can get them off the sony style website

That's fine assuming you have a cassette player in the car....
