In Car Audio

Striker D · 07-31-2007, 03:51 PM

I'm getting a car, soon I hope, and I'm weighing my options for what to use to get my zune tunes in it.

Check the options in the poll. I know the MS transmitter sux, but I read about how to mod it somewhere. Is it worth it though? Cosmeticaly I think it's the nicest.

If you select the third party FM transmitter would you please link me to one or something?

the cassette tape is the cheapest, and the radio with audio inputs would probably sound the best. I'd go with the cassette tape adapter.

Cassette sounds better too. (Just my opinion)

forget the fm trans
even at 100% functionality it only transmits sound at 64bits (what would you say if you saw an mp3 ripped at 64kp?)
cassette ad is 128bits

so aux-in is the best sounding.
but if you have a factory-stereo, getting an aux in will be expensive, so go with the cassette for cheap alternative,

I just received my Zune last night and this morning I listened it in my car with the AUX input jack, however I had to keep my Zune volume on max and the car radio had to be at level 35 out of 50 to be able to hear it normally. This is in a 2007 Toyota Camry by the way.

Is this normal for anyone else?
