using mp3 player in my car

[diamond-optic]

well my deck doesnt have any aux input or anything like that (its an old Rockford Fosgate RFX9000) but i really want to be able to listen to my zune (8gb flash version) thru it.. and no i dont want to spend $$$ on a new deck even tho i need one badly (this one some of the buttons, like next track lol, dont work and it skips quite a lot)

pretty much seems to leave my options at only FM transmitters.. which there seems to be so many to choose from and mixed reviews about all of them...

and i would prefer one that both runs off a cig lighter (for in my car) but also batteries (so i can use it on the radio at work) but if it comes down to it.. i rather be able to listen to it just in my car if that would give me better quality..

originally i was looking at the one microsoft makes for the zune (the newer v2 one btw) but since that has to be plugged into a cig lighter i decided to look elsewhere.. sorta looking at the belkin tunecase 3.. but im really not sure

wondering if anyone else has used these things or knows something that would work better (even if its just for my car and wouldnt allow me to use it at work)

i use one of these

but i wired it into my truck and its set to broadcast on my radio, I really have too much crap there, with my TOMTOM, XM Radio and this..

i had a FM transmitter for my ipod, walk out of the mall, opened it up, set the station and about 5 miles on my way home it was being interrupted by another station. Returned that shit the next day for the cassette tape player thing.

Being u do live upstate you may have better luck with keeping the same station n not getting interrupted. Also the sound quality sucked major nuts with the FM transmitter...

omg the ipod transmitters suck serious ass.. I spent like 50 bucks on mine and its basically worthless..

Dia I have a scion and theres actually a kit that i can purchase to hook up to my car so that I can plug my mp3 right into the stereo or car... you might wanna check out to see if zune has something like that...

my brother had a tape that you could plug a minidisk player into... I think he used for mp3 player too...

I have a D-Lo Transpod...it works PERFECT for my ipod...donno if they make one for Zune...Its a fm transmitter i get no interference at all one station no matter where i go...i highly recommend it...It costs 80-100$ but if u want good quality sound

yeah its the square one, lol... when I first got it I was a bit hesitant on the purchase, I was used to driving a huge Dodge Ram truck..but when i got in, it is surprisingly big inside and you can see everything, since basically the whole top part of it is glass. and how does it handle? wonderfully actually, its alot of fun to drive.. its fast too and the gas mileage is excellent, 35 miles to the gallon and almost 40 on the highway so with gas prices, Im happy as hell with that. Also I have all the ground fx kit with it so it looks sexy to me
