I would like to know if I can play my new sansa clip in my car?? I have a Malibu and I did not know if I can play the sansa clip through me car radio??
Just to add a bit to Miikerman’s response: the order of fidelity of his choices are:
Best: direct input to aux jack.
2nd best: cassette adapter.
3rd best: FM transmitter.
Further suggestion: If you wind up going the FM transmitter mode, you should consider getting a 6’ headphone extention cable (male at one end, female at the other) that you will plug in between the transmitter and the player. The transmitters typically use their built-in input wire, which is between four inches and two feet depending upon make and model, as its antenna so extending this boosts the signal. :-D It may look goofy but I have a headphone extention looped a couple times over my rearview, with the Clip clipped to the loop above the dash so I can reach out and change tunes while driving, and it works great. (Without the extention, the car antenna – 3 feet away through the windshield – gets signal like it were a radio station 100 miles away.) FCC regs say an FM transmitter like that can’t broadcast more than 30 feet so you might want to test things out before you go mobile. :smileyvery-happy:
Another thing to consider if you do wind up going the FM transmitter route is stations available. Most of the transmitters on the market let you choose 4 stations, give or take a few, at the 88mhz and 107mhz parts of the spectrum. I live near Seattle so most of the 8 choices one of my transmitters have are taken! So you might want to look for one that has a broader selection or, like the Phillips model with the channel LED, lets you choose any station (mine is set to 104.1).
