I'd put this in the audio forum for a faster response...but...

I'm guessing that you could use that cassette adapter used in cd walkman stereo kits the same way with the mp3 player......I'm assuming by your post above you have a cassette only deck....use the CD/cassette adapter and plug it into the mp3 player's headphone jack...........thats all I can think of plus your post seems kinda wierd...could be that it's 3am...hahaha

Hope I helped!!

They also sell a transmitter (Radio Shack or Walmart) that you plug into the headphone jack of your cd/Mp3/MD player which transmits over a certain radio station and you turn your head unit to that channel.

My brother had one of them in his old Corvette, and it didn't work too well. Since it worked off transmitting radio waves, it wasn't as crisp or clear as one of the cassette adapters. I'd go with one of the adapters, and if that doesn't work, then try this idea.

get a cheap tape player (in-dash) unless you already have one. then get one of those tapes that have the wire that plugs into portable players (cd, md, mp3 players). plug right into the headphone jack.
another option if you have a cd player- get an rca to headphone wire =-------- -. You can plug this into an auxilary on the back of your in-dash cd player. Run the wire below to an open spot or into your glovebox or somewhere where you will put your player. the wire will be mostly hidden, but still available when you unplug your player.

hope that helps

Hmm... Well if you have the cd-changer hooked up to your caset deck... then it must have a auxilury hookup! Why dont you simply hook the mp3 player up the the aux?

Get an Aiwa deck man! Aiwas offer 40-50wx4 stereo all with aux inputs on the front and preamps. They're great trust me!
