Playing MP3 player through car radio...

HUFCsteve

I have a Wharfedale MP3 player which I'd like to be able to play when I'm in my car (which doesn't have an aux-in). Is it as simple as buying a FM transmitter and plugging it into the headphone socket? And if so, are there any out there that people'd recommend? I've seen some isound ones going cheap in Sainsburys - are they any good?!?

There are a couple of options:

1. A transmitter thing (I've used one with an iPod and it is a bit fiddley).

2. A cassette interface (looks like a cassette tape but has a wire coming out of it to plug into your MP3 player's headphone socket); but your car needs a cassette player for it to work.
