What cable do I need and how can I get it, for connecting my mp3 player to my car stereo?

Question

Im looking for one that plugs into the back of my head unit and ends as a headphone jack socket. Im sick of using radio transmitters, they are not the best quality.

Answer 1

I found the best thing since sliced bread...http://www.crutchfield.com/S-9oDEWuNVIo6/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=142FMMOD01

It's not wireless.

It feeds your audio signal from a headphone jack ( or RCA cables) by FM modulation, directly into the antenna input on your radio bypassing the antenna when on, allowing the radio to work as normal when off. It comes with an On/Off switch that can used or it can be replaced with a relay powered by the remote wire from the radio (is so equiped).

This is the answer. Totally versatile.

Answer 2

You will need low level inputs to use that set up. Most factory radios do not have that type input. I agree that FM modulation is poor fidelity. The best suggestion is burn your own MP-3 Cd's. Or replace the head unit with one that has 1/8" phone jack input or RCA terminals on the back you can hook a jumper splitter to 1/8" phone jack. You can even purchase a head unit capable of satellite reception form Crutchfield, Best Buy or custom car stereo installers.

Answer 3

maximum decks now have become ipod waiting. so long because the deck has an auxiliary mode you could plug any type of mp3 participant into. also dont get an fm transmitter countless the more competitively priced ones are nicely worth a damn for my section. too a lot interference

Answer 4

No cables needed. There is a plug-in adapter that you can buy for your specific model MP-3 player. It plugs in to 12v socket close to your stareo, tune it in to a set frequency and you are set

Answer 5

go to best buy and tell them what you need. They sell a cable made for what you want. I bought one there it. Its better than the radio transmitters.
