  | Ipod in my car. Options? So, i recently acquired a '99 Escort ZX2 after my old steamer died. Problem here is it doesnt have a CD player. or a cassette deck. Just AM/FM. my old adapter died on me, and i went to walmart to grab another one, but unless its sitting right in front of the radio, you cant hear shit. What are my options short of buying a new radio? Or do i have to suck it up and buy a new radio & mounting kit?

   | Yank the radio and see if there's an auxiliary input on the back for hooking up a CD changer or something. You may have an option to jack the iPod directly into the head unit. Or from the sounds of it, maybe not. You can probably get an aftermarket head unit with an aux input for less than $100.

| You can get head unit's so cheap that they make things like fm adaptors redundant. Someone get a move on and sell me your B7 or CST before I spend my money on something else I don't really want  |

| I've never found FM transmitters to be worth a damn, especially if you live in a built-up urban area. In Toronto, i can't find an empty FM frequency that an FM transmitter can cut through well enough. And if you take a road trip, you constantly have to be re-tuning to find a clear channel. AND the audio quality will be no better than an FM radio, which is pretty crappy. Hard-wired solutions are so much better. |

| I have Griffin Itrip FM modulators. One for my car and one for the work truck. Best of the bunch. ( I tried a shitload- I work at Circuit city!). Cuts through clear and I am in the city with lots of radio congestion. These are becomming hard to find. Griffin updated it to a different model and they aren't as good. Micocenter online had a few..
