Question

How can I listen to mp3s from my Treo 650 through my car’s audio system?

Answer 1

I believe that the Treo uses a "Stereo mini" type headset jack and there are adapters to convert those into various other connections. What I did in my car was to have Circuit City install an RCA input box in my CD Changer input on the back of my standard Honda deck. Then I connected a set of RCA to Stereo mini cables to it and into my headphone jack on my mp3 player.

Answer 2

I use a cheapie device I found in the stereo section that is a pseudo-cassette that plugs into the headphone jack of the mp3 player and transmits the player output to the cassette player.



I also have one that transmits radio waves that I use to transmit CDs to my (very old) installed house stereo.



You should be able to find these at Radio Shack, or the stereo section of Wally-world, target, or other dept. stores.

Answer 3

"Cheapest and easiest" is an fm transmitter.

Get a 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female headset adapter. Maybe $6. http://www.google.com/search?q=2.5+3.5+mm+adapter Or Radio Shack.



Then look for an fm transmitter for mp3 players that is not iPod-specific.

I have both an fm transmitter and a casette adapter for my iPod. The sound quality with the fm transmitter is adequate, though finding an empty radio frequency can be difficult in a big city. Consider finding a transmitter that you can open and add your own antenna. (I haven't done this, but I've read that you can improve the sound quality dramatically.)

Answer 4

The sound quality of the radio transmitters is usually not that great.



I replaced my stero with one that comes with an aux (audio in) so that i can plug in my mp3 player. The link below talks about different sterios that support that.
