Using An MP3 Player In Your Car

By Larry Benson


These days, automobiles are equipped with accessories that allow music and videos to be played in vehicles. The latest models come with mp3 player docks built in. If you would like to use your car to play music that is currently stored on a home computer or mobile device, transferring those files is possible because of new technology.

The most widely found car mp3 players are the ones that are disc compatible. This is a player that reads any music disc that is written from the pool of music maintained at home. It is most unlikely to find a stereo that is not mp3 compatible.

It makes sense to consider a car mp3 player that has various features incorporated in it, given the fact that the investment therein is not a meager sum. If you are a movie buff, then making an investment in a car mp3 player that is supportive of USB and DVDs is definitely worth it. You can then entertain yourself in the car too, watching your favorite movies while on a drive. However, for maintaining safety while on the go which is equally important, ensure the screen is positioned in a way that doesn't distract the person at the wheel.

A very good feature available in most models is the availability of an USB drive where you can connect a pen drive loaded with all the music of your choice. This is an easy way of modifying your stereo into a car mp3 player. You can also modify your age old stereo into a car mp3 player by buying a wireless modulator. This is a very helpful gadget that can pass on the signals from your iPod, home media player or any other device to your stereo over radio waves.

A wireless modulator uses a car cigarette lighter as a power source. Simply plug in your flash drive, USB accessory, memory card, or other file storage tool into the modulator, turn on your car radio, select the proper channel, and you'll hear your favorite sounds come through your car's stereo speakers.

If you do not have the huge budget needed to install a built-in dashboard car mp3 player, then a wire modulator is the invention you need! Amazon.com offers a Falcon device for approximately $20 that gives you the convenience of using your iPod through your older car's stereo system.

If you are prepared to invest more money in a car mp3 player towards the basic cost and installation thereof, then it is recommended to go in for one that has a pre-installed iPod controller unit besides supporting discs in mp3 format. The JVC model KD-PDR30 is one such car mp3 player, which has a maximum output of 200 watts and is inclusive of accessories like a wireless remote and iPod connector cable. It is competitively priced at $99, exclusive of tax and shipping charges.

The car audio market boosts of many good brands that are available, JVC being a pioneer amongst them all. Many customers will vouch for this brand's reliability and sense of commitment towards their products. Car mp3 players are becoming a craze in today's world and are here to stay for a long time to come. Now is the right time for you to invest in one, if you haven't done so already. Constant progress in technology has ensured competitive pricing of car mp3 players, thereby increasing the affordability range to a wide section of consumers.
