Default Possible use for 3GS cassette player :)

Anybody tried this one? Looks like a very cheap way to play mp3s from SD card in our car.

yeah, I have one of hose tape adapters with 3.5mm jack to hook up to any mp3 player, etc. But this one seems to be SD reader which you can put into cassette player and listen to mp3s from SD card. I might have to try it...

99 cents? I paid $20 at target.... Where?

Until I get the iPhone integration, I use this also and works like a charm. I then plug the iPhone into the 2nd charger in the center console.

Thanks for the link!!! I wasn't sure if I want to spend $15 for a dummy player, but as I read from the comments - you pop it into your cassette player and use cassette player play/skip/stop to control it. As soon as I get it, will let you guys know how it works

Sweet, thanks. I order tons of stuff from DX, so this will be in my next order. Although I hope it is better than the ones I used before (which produce a tinny sound).

mine is very clear. no noises or anything can be heard. sounds just like a regular cd. only thing that sucks is the chord does sometimes get in the way.
