Talking Looking for a dock and car player...


I'm looking to buy a decent sound quality dock for my Zune that also charges it, and a radio transmitter for playing and charging it in the car (similar to Monster's iCarPlay for iPod).
Both of these things are easily found for iPods, but not so much for Zunes, at least for me.
Also, I'm trying to buy both of these combined for $50 or under, if that's possible. If it's more expensive, please still post it. I'll spend more for good quality.

Thanks! I figured it would be like that. Cheap is never good.
I guess I worded my question about the dock wrong though. I meant a dock with speakers, because we actually don't have any speakers in the whole house right now, which is just weird and awful.
The radio thing is good though. I think I'll buy that. It's cheaper than I thought it'd be.
Thanks again!

Yeah sorry about that the only Speakered dock I could find of some Musical Value is the Kicker one for 200 Dollars. Pricey but worth it im sure.

Speaker docks are incredibly pricey, and unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of them for the Zune.

There is the Altec Lansing M604. I've heard a lot of good things about this one. It ranges from $289.99 to $329.99 and a used unit at $199.99. O.o If I'm not mistaken, however, I believe I've seen these in-store at Target for around $100-130. [ linklink ]

The Kicker ZN mentioned ranges from $208.08 to $224.10. [ linklink ]

The Altec Lansing inMotion iM414 did not get as good of reviews as the M604 (is it just me or does M604 sound like the name of some large, kick awesome fully automatic weapon?), but is cheaper. This one ranges from $87.00 to $99.95 with a couple used units starting at $64.99. It features a built-in FM radio with LCD display. [ linklink ]

Last I've found is this funky iHome thing that looks like a 1940s/50s radio. It's no longer available on Amazon, but good ol' Wally World () has it for $44.88. [link]

Thanks Volpe Sinatra! I've been looking into the Kicker, and I think I like it better than the Altec Lansings. The reviews I've read of Altec aren't too good, especially for Zune 30s, so I'm not going to risk it. I'd rather get good quality than something quick and cheap, but it does seem ridiculous that I'll have to spend the same amount on speakers as I did for the actual Zune.
