In Car MP3 and transmitter

BigChris45

Hi
I am looking for a decent solution to play MP3 in my Saab. The CD is faulty and is non standard /hard to replace.

I bought an Archos 3 cam vision from QVC which has buiolt in FM transmitter but it is poor via the transmitter, so returning. I am looking at spending around £100 all in but maybe 120 at a push

The car does not have an aux input

I can use a blackberry 9700 as the source via bluetooth or headphone out if this is better

What model / year Saab. There are add-on aux input solutions available. I do not think any of the transmitters are very satisfactory.

I have a male/male cable from my ipod into my player in the car which fortunatly has the hole for it and use it that way

Hi it is a saab 93 2005 1.9Tid

I see there is an aux cable i can buy and fit but it means ripping the dash apart and getting the saab dealer to reprogram the car to activate it.

Maybe its an option

Cheers

trust me you would be tons tons happier with an aux input .. honestly .. and ripping the dash about might not be that hard, I thought the Mrs Toyota was gonna be a nightmare as I couldn't see any bolts from the outside but there were only 6 bolts or so for the whole middle section of the dash, and it was rock solid when bolted back together.
