Is your car CD player not working ?

Does it work?
What is the sound quality like
What format files can it play?

I tried one from Jaycar about 3 years ago and found it had a ticking noise as the processor accessed the SD card.

Not sure about defiantly, but definitely an option if the music is "clean".

Been using one in my work car for a number of years now as it doesn't have a USB port and I don't own an iPod. Works well but sound quality is as said above only as good as the car's existing sound system.

Beats the hell out of lugging a stack of CD's around and they aren't subject to being scratched.

I was so annoyed at after buying a car with a premium sound system and no cd but apparently it a common problem with the fordBroken Hill and often go to mildura and Adelaide with the car and radio reception is crap

so I was sweating a bit but when I was told about this option I was very happy

One major problem with living in a remote town is the selection of CD s if you want the latest songs you are fine but I prefer 60 and 70s music so this is a wonderfull I have spent the past two days searching and downloading lots of music that I like

so to me it is a win win

technology is moving so fast these days it is so hard to keep up with what is out there

But I wish they could improve the radio station signal strength and give us a decent phone service and I will be happy

Run a similar process with my old Holden rodeos radio, I use a unit made by Belkin
I have my music (mp3) loaded on the iPhone and play the iPhone through a programmed in ( tuned) fm channel.
Bonus is that you can play your music and keep your phone charged

Had one for about 4 years in my old Disco and used it with an iPod until child # 1 "borrowed" it for her car. Great idea and basically a handy unit.

There was only 3 problems with it, which you probably wouldn't encounter if you were doing open road driving.

The first was it stuffed up my iPod's battery, as it was not fully recharging on my usual 20 minute drive and built up a memory in the battery. No problems if you're using an USB drive, but could be a problem if you're using it with a smart phone.

The second problem in traffic is that your radio (preset to a lower FM frequency) can pick up any locals FM stations on that frequency (usually tourist advice) as well as your transmitter.

The third problem which occured in traffic quite often is that it will pick up similar units in cars within a cars length of you. You could change it to another frequency if you could be bothered but Doof Doof doesn't mix well with Dire Straits
