Getting mp3 player to play in the car?

Is there any way to get the MP3 player's audio output to 2002 3.2TL sound system. I had tried using Sony cassetter adapter but it does not work.

Yup you can do it using Neo MP3.





My brother did it in the CL and it came out pretty good. The only problem I have with it is, the volume max out is 32 and is nowhere as loud as stock.

I would post the site for it but I dont know if I'm allowed to on here b/c they sell the product.

i recently found out that my 2002 headunit has a changer port so i think you can buy one of those third party adapters for alpine changers, the alpine cha-s634 mp3 changer, and the alpine ai-net-to-mbus convertor. in my head, i think this works. i am not going to do it because i will eventually swap out the headunit.

problems
- not being able to select discs individually, must listen sequentially
- not being able to jump to songs, must listen sequentially

I'm not sure why your tape adapter doesn't work, but mine works fine. I've used a mp3/cd player with tape adapter for couple years now.

Does this mean once I put in my CD's I can only listen from CD's 1-6 without even being able to change from CD 1 to like 3 or something?

No you can play any disc you like in any order. But the random play will only select tracks off the current disc in use. You can choose to play disc 1, then 4, then 3, etc, but you have to press the button to choose which disc you want when.

If your cassette is plugged right into he output of the audio device it should play the music... i did it with my MD player.. but the sound quality sounds like crap..... almost cassette like or even worst quality..

So...can anyone give a definitive answer as to whether or not the Alpine MP3 changer solution will work on a 2002 TL/TL-S headunit? I've seen conflicting answers regarding this; supposedly, the Alpine solution will work on TL headunits that utilize a separate changer, but won't work if the headunit is the in-dash changer that the 2002 TL/TL-S comes with...

Thanks!

I thought that with the changer, you push the CD button twice and it will activate the changer. You will then be able to select the disc by the numbers 1-6 and select the songs with the + and - button.....at least that what I thought it will do, but I might be wrong.

I just bought a 10-Disk Sony MP3 CD Changer. I had the 10-Disk changer unit mounted in the back left side of the trunk. It has an AWESOME BLUE display unit which I mounted with some velcro directly beneath the AM/FM/CD buttons. I absolutely love it....And it also made my stock bose system sound 10 times better
