New to Zune

Veetus · 05-14-2008, 01:32 AM

So I'm getting a Zune 80 gig for SURE I just am waiting for the auction to end on eBay. It's a used one however I don't think it comes with any cables...so I was wondering:

My car has an AUX outlet and I was wondering if I should get a certain pack (I was browsing amazon mainly) I should get that would contain the cables I need to charge/sync and all that...and possibly one that would include a car aux cable? Maybe something that can charge while in the car too? I guess that is not COMPLETELY necessary, but still...would be nice. Also are there any car mounts or anything?

If anyone could help me out...point me in the right direction of where to get these accessories or if I'm dreaming (which I'm sure I'm not :P) then please advise.

Thank you,
Veetus

Heres the car pack

Amazon.com: Zune Car Pack: Electronics
If I were you i'd just get an aux cable for about �5/$2.50 the quality is better than any fm transmitter.

^^^i wouldn't recommend that Zune Car Pack... lol just get an audio cable/aux cable for about $1-$5 USD at your local stores.. and fine a car charger that can plug USB in... along with go finding a USB sync cable for your zune since it doesn't come with it.. the sync cable for brand new is about $20.. i woulda buy a new zune off ebay instead of an used one.

Well it looks like I lost that bid but I did a Bid Assistant so I have a few more Zunes to cycle through (some are new) but anyway thanks for replying! So umm...why do you not recommend the car pack? Find a car charger that will plug USB in? What exactly is that? Where can I find that? Does it matter on the aux cable that I buy?

The aux cable is a standard audio cable. It's like most audio systems cables, one out on each end.

Also, you don't need a charger if it's too much of a hassle, the players lasts for quiet a few hours left on play only, unless you're leaving for a really long trip, the charger won't make much difference. If you can find one then better to go for it.

ebay doesn't seem to be that much cheaper for the zune 80

I wouldnt buy a third party charger as the zune requires a clean electrical supply and you could damge your zune!
