I believe the blitzsafe works by just hooking up into the spot where the disc changer hooks up. Then you can use 6 playlists because the playlists take the place of the CDs.

good point clarity is key

but for $72 vs $7 plus you can take cassette adapter from car to car

plus you still need to buy a rca to 3.5mm stereo cable
