i have a iPod mini and was wondering whether it was possible to "plug" it into me car head unit and play tracks off there?
i know there is the iTrip, which is the fm transmitter, but is there another option, as hte iTrip is "illegal"
or should i opt for a new head unit that is iPod compatible?
any recommendations is welcomed!
;D

maybe she had a tape player. I have my zen micro plugged into my tape player through a dummy tape that is wired into the headphone jack of my zen micro. Only £12 and I got a charger with it. Its easy to do with a tape player, not easy with CD headunit I believe.

i might just get the iTrip, even if its illegal. but what confuses me is how comes its illegal? Because it transmits your music as a radio frequency, and thus technically your are broadcasting a pirate radio station without a licence.

I would say you have a 99% chance of not being done for it!
