i was wondering what is the best way to hook up an mp3 player to the car...i dont want that stupid tape thing that connects to the mp3 player...any ideas

 

search for 'mp3' in the audio and electronics forum .. a lot of us have had various solutions.. from mp3 head units to hard drive based mp3 units

 

Your alternatives are either an FM Modulator or a CD changer with an AUX input on the wiring harness or splicing into the changer cable.

The FM Modulator is the easiest and cheapest. You can get a wired Modulator for around $50, and it basically converts your sounds into an FM signal. You may like how it sounds (some people do). Personally, I couldn't stand how it sounded. The highs are not clear and the bass is muddy.

A more expensive solution is to purchase a CD changer with a wiring harness which has an AUX input. I used a Clarion CD-C635 with a Peripheral HONCLRX wiring harness. I plugged my mp3 player into the HONCLRX and installed a switch to alternate between the CD/MP3 player.

Hope this helps...
