What do I need to buy to have Touch Pro Audio Come Through Car Speakers?

loren646 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-26-2009, 05:24 AM

I'd like to set up so I can listen to my music while driving. An added bonus would be to answer calls and GPS but not necessary.

Absolute Cheapest option? I have a 97 Honda Civic.

I use an old school tape adapter but plan on picking up one of these bluetooth tape adapters so i can "cut the wires"

I have a motorola moto-rokr. It hooks through your bluetooth and plays through your fm radio. It has in my opinion the best sound of any fm transmitter. you can hear your phone ring through your speakers and the clarity of the conversation does not sound tingy. Do a web search, I paid about $70 for mine and I know they have come down in price. You won't be dissapointed.

Ditto, I have the moto-rokr as well and it is great, handsfree is exceptional.

I bought the SP700 by jabra and it works very good. Its around $70 online and IMHO its def worth it. There are other FM transmitters by motorola, LG etc.

Now the other thing you can do if you have a car deck wuth AUX you can utilize the converter that comes with your phone and use it that way.

I looked at the motorokr but I live in NYC i'm worried about losing signal by going in tunnels and such. Or will it work underground?

any cheap plug that works? Or do I have to buy a new stereo unit (i have the standard that came with the car)

Correct me if i am wrong but it should work in the tunnel since its using the "free" FM frequency that you are using to play the music through the car deck....not sure though since i don't leave near any tunnels here in MA.
