Just as when buying a car adapter,Characteristics to look onto when buying a car adapter Articles you need to look for the proper model. Corrosion at the terminals of your cables do not conduct electricity properly and produce the so-called fake contacts that work well at a time and the other no longer, if your cables are old and rusty, it is best renewed and protect the environment so it does not rust you, when you buy oxygen free RCAs seek them.

Repairing aspects

If after buying a car adapter, your car still does not allow you to listen to MP3s, do not despair.  Change the radio and get going. The serial radios are integrated into the vehicle with external displays and controls on the steering wheel. Some recommendations:

-         Changing the car stereo is the most obvious solution, but it could mean losing these functions. There interface adapter cables to keep them.

-         There are computers with CD-MP3, hard drive with integrated USB connector to play MP3s from an external device, flash card slot and line input to connect any audio source.

-         Find a model that combines multiple systems and at least a line input.

Without spending much, you can find computer line in, but must be added the cost of installing cables and car adapter models.

As mentioned above, a less drastic solution is to keep the car radio serial connection and use the CD changer to install a standard audio input. It takes a special car adapter for the specific vehicle and radio, and they admit they do not always feasible.

Price depends on model and above all, the cost of installation, but can reach out more expensive than a new car radio of the economic spectrum.

More alternatives

A very economical option, but with poor sound quality and more uncomfortable, is to install a small low-power station in the standard FM band. It connects the hulls rather than any player and is tuned to a frequency.

By tuning the car radio on the same frequency will receive the MP3 sound. The main problem is that, on trips, we can find under the cover of local stations that overlap our signal. As a final note, if you have a car stereo cassette buy a cassette adapter with car adapter and 3.5 mm mini plug tab (which can be adapted to 2.5 mm depending on the MP3 player). The cassette is inserted as usual, while the cable end is connected to the mp3.
