ipod: is there a way of getting them to play in the car?

[ladymuck]

if you don't have a cassette player? I have CD and radio, but I don't seem to have any extra input bits to plug anything into.

Anyone got a setup that works?

take a look here

Tis called an itrip
look on ebay...

itrip is illegal in UK however see here

like this
itrip

itrips are illegal in GB - because it counts as transmitting so technically you need a broadcasting licence. However, dp still has one and he is a solicitor!

she didn;t ask if it was legal lol just if it works
It does

ta for that link piff

have just bought one off Ebay for dh's christmas present from dd2

And the other good thing about itrips are that if you have a few radios at home you can have it broadcasting on all your radios!

So near and yet so far...

Thanks for the help. Alas I can't see dh going for it once he realises the (potential)implications.

Bummer - he really is becoming impossibly difficult to buy for.

You can buy a set where you put your ipod in a cradle (like a phone) and the ipod plugs in to your stereo and you control your ipod through the stereo controls. Is that what you meant?

I was going to get dp one for Christmas but it won't fit in his car.

ooh I like the idea of the itrip am going to try it out!

My iTrip is broken

Aother vote for the itrip

My husband has one and it plays in any car travelling within a reasonable distance. When we go out with friends, we can all have access to the entire CD collection while they are driving behind/ in front of us

i think you can get a plug in CD thing from john lewis?

and the all new itower for home use
thats on our list.....

My itrip doesn't work - very weak signal! Dh was looking into getting me a new stereo for my car that you can plug the pod straight into, costs about £100 though so now he's stopped looking!!

You can get mini speakers that plug in to the top of the ipod.

Don't look here then .
