Connecting via a cable to my car radio

I just bought a new car without a cassette tape deck. There uis a connection for a jack for an MP3 player. The car is leased, so I don't don't want to add or build any addition to the car. Is there any way I can hook up my XM Roady to this jack? And where would i get he jack?

The best way to hook up this radio to your car is wireless! This radio has a built-in FM transmitter. All you have to do is go into the menu on the radio and find FM settings. Figure out or set the radio station, and then tune into it on your car.

Cable Connect iPod iPhone MP3 Phone Audio to Mazda Car Player

Does your car player have a auxillary jack (looks like headphone hole)

or does it just have a tape player?

if it has an auxilary plug then you need to plug the cable from your ipod into that and set the stereo to aux for source.

if the car has a tape player go to the store and ask for the cassette that plugs into your headphone jack. then you can put that tape into the tapeplayer and plug the other end in your headphone port on the ipod and listen away

Laptop doesn't see Teca cassette deck

I'm not sure why you are unable to see the usb device, but I am surprised you are using a speaker level output to connect to it and not a line level, which is a much smaller signal. I've never heard of an RCA to USB adapter, but I like the idea if it works. I normaly just go into the line input jack on the back when using a desktop computer. Does your laptop have a line input jack? Good luck.

Insignia connecting to car

Solution #1 - If your car deck is a tape deck, you can purchase a cassette conversion kit to accomplish this. The cassette converter is a mock-cassette that has a wire and headphone plug on the end. Put in the "cassette", plug the headphone jack into your Insignia Pilot, and play your music from the Pilot.

Solution #2 - There are also FM transmitter packages that will plug into your Insignia Pilot and transmit over an FM frequency. You'll need to turn on and tune the cars radio to the frequency the transmitter is sending to be able to hear the music from your pilot.

Solution #3 - If you are looking for a direct connect through the AUX 1 input (if your car radio supports this) you would need a small amplifier to boost the signal from your Pilot. Otherwise youll either get nothing as far as volume, ot it'll be really weak and you'll have to increase your volume to such a high level that there will also be a lot of noise. This solution would require a small amp (probably available from Best Buy or Radio Shack) left/right stereo RCA cable (from amplifier to car deck), left/right stereo RCA to stereo headphone, and a power cable to your cigarette lighter.

**if you have an after-market car stereo, you can most likely connect with this solution. If your car stereo is stock, then most likely you will not have an Aux 1 input on the back of the unit and will need to resort to solution #1 or #2.
