Okay, what's this thing called?

It's a cable you plug into a Discman, and the other end is a metal wire. You turn your car radio station to a dead-air station and then tune the cable to the same station, and you can listen to CDs through your radio without having to buy/install a tape player or CD player in your car?

It's called "that THING"

 

[xfer]

i can't Google for that so i can buy one.

 

[kleo706]

That's what you deserve, bunny harm implier.

I think it's called the Sony "Doesn't Work Very Well, You're Probably Better Off Springing For the Tape Deck, Alex".

Someone else told me that, too. How does it "not work well"? I don't know if I want to spend a hundred bucks putting a new stereo system into a 300,000 mile car.

 

[kleo706]

I have a spare headunit and can get it installed for free.

 

[xfer]

What's "headunit" and how do you get them installed for free?

It's an FM Wireless transmitter. Belkin makes a good on. It works prety well in a car stereo with an iPod, so im sure it would work with a CD player, because it just uses the headphone jack.

Here's a link

I have two CD players... one of which reads wma and mp3 files off discs as well... for cars sitting in my room waiting for a car. I just ask my brother and he gets them in... in theory. I think I will soon ask my other brother for help cuz it's getting silly.

oh, thanks, Paul!

the fact that it's eighty bucks makes me wonder if i should just suck it up and get a stereo put in. now that i know what it's called, i'll shop round!

 

[xfer]

oh, wait, 39.99. i was looking at the cellphone hookup.

 

[goatschool]

or, portable tape deck w/ batteries, depending on how much you'll drive the thing.

 

[xfer]

that'd cost more in the long run, in addition to being ghetto as fuck.

 

[goatschool]

oh but is that not what u kids b want nottin 4?

 

[goatschool]

"

[goatschool]

I've just heard the radio transmit ones get interference occasionally. Just seems like not so great an idea but what do I know?

 

[Steve]

Do you mean a CD player to tape deck adapter?

 

[xfer]
