i have had a MP3 player in my Ford F-150 for about a year. The company that manufactures the Ford stereos has made a mp3 player that looks like the factory original.

I actually have a cd mp3 player in my car. It's great, I can drive my 6 hours home and never change cd's or listen to the same song.

If it's a Ford product you can guess that there are lots of big pressy buttons on it. Ford likes big ol' buttons with rounded curvy tops, so older folks can find and press them easily, and so you don't poke out your eye if you crash into a button head first. But it does make the whole look and feel of the vehicle like a big padded room.

MP3 in cars
Speaking of which, I'm going to get an Mp3 deck for my car so I can play music in it. Right now I'm using a Sonicblue Rio Volt CD/Mp3 player in the tape deck to play CD's and Tapes.
I was considering mounting one of those 800Mhz ultra-small PC's in there with a 30 GB laptop hard drive and 512 MB RAM running one of the many Linux toolkits out there, but I realized I'd spend more money for a solution that's not ideal. I'd rather buy something that's under $500. I was even considering just plugging an iPod into the tape deck, and just getting a PDA holder to mount it on. However, any recommendations for a good tape deck would be acceptable! Mitch |
