Default Any ideas on hooking up MP3 player without a cassette adapter?

Just got a Honda Civic SiR. It's my first car without a cassette player. I'm used to running my MP3 player through a cassette adapter but now there's only a radio/CD player. Are there any products out there that'll let me play my MP3 player? Any advice is appreciated.

you can use an RF modulator. click here to see the "sound feeder". something like that may help you. you plug your mp3 player into this unit, and tune your oem radio to channel it's transmitting, and your mp3 player will play over your fm radio. hope that helps

If you have an aftermarket cd player receiver, you may be able to purchase optional auxilery output adapter for it.

is it an oem cd player, or aftermarket? i agree - if it's aftermarket use the aux input. just so you know though, some decks (kenwood, sony, etc...) will require an adapter to plug into the ip-bus connector so the head unit knows that there is an aux source. sometimes just plugging in the rca's doesn't work.
