Dell MP3 Player in 2004 TL

Anyone know how to hook up this MP3 player to the factory radio? Is this even possible?

The only harness available for Acura (and many other vehicles out there) seem to favor the Apple iPod only.

If you are looking to use your Dell MP3 player (or any other brand MP3 player), you could easily use a tape adapter and connecting it to your MP3 player's headphone port. While this isn't exactly "integrated" with the playback controls, it will provide very good audio quality.

While FM Transmitters work, they don't sound very good.

I use my Dell Axim (2GB SD card + 4GB Compact Flash card = 6GB storage) to play MP3s in the car using a Sony tape adapter.

I am also using the tape adapter, its the easies to use, least expensive alternative with minimal sound qaulity loss......I tried everything else except hardwiring in an extra audio source like the PIE.

I tried a wireless FM modulator, dont even think about those, waste of time and money, the qaulity is horrible compared to the tape adapter, especially in a crowded city area where most of the radio stations are being used.

Blitzsafe V2.0. Then you can use anything with an earphone jack.

all those are hard wired solutuions, which require much more costs, and labor time.
