Default 99 Nakamichi radio listen to MP3s.

I would like to listen music in MP3 form trough the radio. I checked already the MP3 emulators. And I found Yatour which is good for toyota, but it is not good to my radio.

My radio: 99 Nakamichi. Rear cd changer shocket not compatible my radio.

Do you know any help?

Many thanks

Or a modern head unit.

I've used three of these so far. Matt is a stand up guy and his product works and really sounded great. I had one cause the CD player in my '92 Z28 went bad and it was $300 to have it fixed and I'm not a aftermarket head unit guy. The one in the '89 Mustang 5.0 vert worked wonders on powertour and I had one in my '79 Z28. Sound was not that great but this only works as good as your factory system. I'm ordering another one next week as we went back to the factory set up in the '92 I bought for my son. The factory Pioneer sounded so much better so this is going to work just fine. If you get one tell him Damon sent you.

I have the same system in my 99 RX300 also. The cassette player type I bought at Wal-Mart to plug into my iPod and tablet only worked for a few times and then the unit kept spitting it out! I went to the wireless FM adapter aptoslexus recommended and it works great.

Send your unit to factory radio service .com
It's in California and they will add an AUX in which cuts out your FM when plugged in.
BEST SOUND EVER

Basically works like the RediRad on the FM of your radio. You don't need an aux input. It picks up the bluetooth signal from your phone and sends it through you audio system.
As in:
Amazon.com: AKASO Wireless Bluetooth FM Transmitter Radio Adapter Handsfree Car Kit with Hands-Free Calling, Music Control, USB Charger: Electronics Amazon.com: AKASO Wireless Bluetooth FM Transmitter Radio Adapter Handsfree Car Kit with Hands-Free Calling, Music Control, USB Charger: Electronics

There's a wide variety on Amazon.

Thank you for your help. I'm going to try the FM modulator, but I am afraid that the sound quality will be poor.
A wire transfer may be better quality?

Looks like it but it has not spot for you to plug in a phone. Looks like it just has the RCA's. I may have overlooked something though. I wonder what they cost too.

When I get the redirad for our car I'll post the results. My '92 Z28 had the upgraded factory sound system and you couldn't tell it was coming thru the antenna.

Wired is probably better, but I think you'd have a hard time telling the difference. In any case, the price to find out isn't very much.

Clarion in Hungary will cost $ 70. Not expensive.

But even researchers. I would like to Digital Disc magazine(Yatour,Dension...)
