Just seen a car audio system for sale which, it claims, allows you to use a
bluetooth mobile through the car speakers hands free. Sounds like a great
idea. This was a 'Ministry of Sound' system, not a brand I recognise. Does

Will it be a standard, pull radio out, fit sony one work, or will i need a
adapter?

Has anyone used a wired FM modulator for playing from MP3 player to the car?
Is the audio quality up to CD standard?
And where can I get one with a wide choice of frequencies, not just 2 or 3?
(I've tried wireless FM (poor reception) and cd changer adaptors (didnt

I'm reasonably new to this "newsgroup" stuff so i hope this is ok.

First timer taking a plunge into buying a new head unit after years of
suffering with a cassette tuner (*shudder*) in my Volvo. I wanted to go

Can an RCA cable with phono outputs that is used to go to connect to the amp
be used for outputting to a laptop or other device with line in? For
recording etc?

This might just be wishful thinking, but I have heard a rumor that the
CD unit that comes as standard with the new VW Golf is actually MP3

player and it will play them.
