Sony Ericsson C902 to CD player cable

Hi,

Any ideas on whether it's possible to play mp3's off my Sony Ericsson C902 in my Toyota Yaris which only has a CD player?

I've searched google but nothing obvious is coming up.

Thanks

    If you're looking for something obvious then how about burning them to CD ;)

    I should have mentioned this... Burning one audio book takes 5 CDs so I thought it may be more worthwhile in seeing if a cable exists.

    Does it? A cd's like 750 MB...

    I'm sure you'll be able to make your own collection of music from your phone fit on one cd :p One song is only 3/4 MB

    I'll have to make an audio CD (limited to 80mins) and not a data CD for the car to recognise it...

    Could you tell us what kind of input is on the CD player in your car? A standard 3.5mm (headphone) port, or specialist port (iPod and the like)?

    When you go to make the CD use the burn option in windows media player, that will make it an audio disc.

    I can burn CDs, that's not the problem. The question is, is there any other way of getting the mp3s to play in my car without having to burn 5 audio CDs?

    Neither. Just a slot for a CD... My old R reg Corsa had a tape deck and the phone at the time connected to this with a special 3.5mm jack to tape converter. There doesn't seem to be anything like this for CDs though...

    Hi!
    I'd have thought the car would also come with an FM radio as well?

    If so there are plenty of devices on ebay and elsewhere which will broadcast what you play on an ipod / phone etc within a range of a few feet. You will probably need a sony ericsson to 3.5 mm jack socket adaptor (one came with your headphones, but I prefer to have one permanantly in the car and one attached to my headphones.)

    One final thought - the C902 has it's socket mounted on the side of the phone, which is generally where car mobile phone holders hold the thing, so you may have to hunt around for one that will do the job.

    I hope that helps

    Kevin
