Jeez, whet the hell is it with commercial radio these days?
Can't stations just play some good tunes, without the chatter?:banghead:
EVERY station seems to have a yappy DJ who thinks he/she is God's gift, and wants to tell EVERYONE about every little burp and fart they have, or worse, tell us all about their silly opinions. It's really, really irritating. :frown:
IF I WANTED TALK RADIO, I WOULD LISTEN TO TALK RADIO. :nono:
My time in my car is about the only time I have when I can listen to music. I want to enjoy this time WITHOUT LISTENING TO SOME DAMNED FOOL!!
If you run a music station, fire the DJ, get some kid from the Dairy Queen to program some tunes for $8/hr and save some bucks on the DJ salary.
Yeah, I know, I could also get XM or Siruis, but that takes $$, which kind of misses the point.

That's the exact reason why my radio has been turned off for more than a month now. :icon16: I purchase a CD if I want to listen to something.

there are a few radio stations here that will have something like "1 hour of non stop rock" or 9 in a row or something, but that's usually at night, so it doesn't help me when i'm driving to school. during the rowing season when i'm driving at 4:30 am there's nothing BUT music, but when i finish rowing and head back to school during rush hour, sometimes i've done the 10-15 minute drive without hearing a SINGLE song, and that's when i'm flipping through my channels to find something. it's rediculous sometimes, which is why i use my Mp3 player.

Do you mean you drive with headphones?
I wish my stock unit had the ability to play MP3's

Oh like how my Sirius was hooked up....Mmmm wonder if I can do that with my Sony MP3 player..I didn't know that was possible with a brand besides Apple.

anything that has headphone jack can be used through the transmitters, they take the headphone signal and make it a fm frequency. i have a sandisk mp3 player, and i use different company cars all the time, so that thing makes it easy. for my personal car i have a direct aux in tho.....

Learn something new everyday. I have never really been into systems and radios for the car so using any MP3 player with an adapter would be cool. I did that with the Ipod in the Jetta, and Sirius in the SRT-4 but I didn't know I could do it with any player. I'll check that out. Thanks Chris.

haha, that's for people with money. I use that cassette adapter that plugs into the headphone jack and you stick in your cassette slot.

thats ok too, and u probably dont get much static, but if u dont have a cassette player, u need the trans... the transmitter cost about 30 bucks... in some cars it does have static, and different transmitters are better then others ive found....

i don't get static but the sound quality isn't very good, although that's probably a combination of an 8 year old adapter with a bad cord, and 14 year old speakers.

lol, i have a tape adapter if your interested brody, but im sure shipping is probably as much as it is new....haha it is really hard to get a clear mp3 connection on a non compatable radio, but a good transmitter will work good enough to enjoy the music....

If your head unit has a plug for an external CD changer you can use that plug to connect your mp3 player directly. You'll need an adapter from the manufacturer but it's the best method - cassette adapters and FM transmitters are known to reduce the quality of the mp3 players sound.
