Is it possible to link a nokia 6230 to a car radio (i.e. by cassette?)?

    for what reason?
    to play mp3s or listen to calls?
    you could get a car baby (small fm transmitter which clips to phone) i suppose and tune it into radio
    i think some of the handfree kits can use radio speakers although i use a bluetooth handfree myself which has its own speaker that plugs into the cig lighter, same as this:

    it may be the sort of thing you after?

    Thanks for your help :). Sorry, yes to listen to mp3's. That looks a good item, I'm not sure I want to spend that much though, what's the sound quality like?

    Anyone got any cheaper alternatives?

    sounds quite clear and loud but not really great for listening to music (wrong type of speaker) i paid about £35 for mine.
    you can get mp3 car stereos for £50 upwards now (seen at local market) would be better to change that

    I don't want an mp3 car stereo because it'd be alot of hassle and I want all my music on the nokia 6230!

    Seems like the best idea would be to get a spare stereo headphone for the 6230 then cut off the in ear speakers and solder them to a cassette adaptor. Might be a bit tricky with no experience but is perfectly feasible.

    I thought about it cos my car cd player has a stereo input socket and anyting can be plugged in ........mp3 , minidisc, dvd player.....whatever!
