RE: Seat belts & stereo

[Tom Duross <tduross1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are wireless adapters like I-tunes but are FM only.
Same with satellite radio, wireless to FM.
I'd get a conversion done to the original radio if I wanted good sound.

George,  The Ipod only has FM.  I was in the same situation with no CD in
the car (off topic car).  Girlfriend had an Ipod and I bought one of those
adaptors that plugs into the lighter.  Took it on a road trip from Denver to
Idaho, this last weekend and had no issues at all, plus you get about 8-10
hours of no stop music depending on the ipod.
