Has your car got a tape deck?

You could use one of these;



As you have no cig lighter, if you've got a spare couple of quid....

Buy a CD player with the option of AUX - You can get them for around £35 from ASDA, all you need then is a phono to phono cable from maplin for around £3.

All depends on the stereo, u can even get a connection/cable that goes into the cd changer port in the back of the stereo and turns it into an rca cable and the u can get another cable that turns the rca into a normal ipod jack (sounds messy but the cables are only small)

all can be found on ebay for like under a fiver haha

Dont bother with FM transmitters, as John said, they are shit (I know Ive had one). Best bet is to pick up a cheapy head unit from Asda / Aldi, anything with an AUX input OR get something that has USB / SC card connectivity, unless you desperatly want to use the Ipod

sound is pretty good considering what it costs
