It does not have a line in jack for my MP3 player so I guess I need to upgrade, I was wondering whether I could just replace the head of the unit or something, rather than buy a new car stereo (all I need is line in, I'm happy with the radio otherwise).</P><P></P><P>NB I have tried one of these FM transmitter devices (where I can hear mp3 via FM radio preset) and they seem pretty useless (too much interferance).</P><P></P><P>Cheers</P><P></P><P>Alex</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 Jun 2011 09:05:00 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/portable-audio/car-radio-upgrade/m-p/228923#M519 SonyAlexS 2011-06-29T09:05:00Z Car Radio Upgrade? https://community.sony.si/t5/portable-audio/car-radio-upgrade/m-p/228924#M520 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Alex,</P><P></P><P>If you've tried the FM transmitter route, then I'm afraid I think your only option is to upgrade your unit.</P><P>The only thing I'd check on the FM transmitter though before you spend on an upgrade is the frequency you're using it on.&nbsp; Some of these type of accessories have a couple or more options of frequencies that you can select between and that you would tune your radio to, to hear the MP3 player.&nbsp; If yours does, I'd suggest trying the other frequencies to see if any offer better sound quality without interference.&nbsp; The reason that most of these have the option to change the frequency is so that you can pick one that is not too close to a radio station as this is what can cause the interference.</P><P>Might be worth a try before you buy!:smileywink:</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 14 Jul 2011 16:27:00 GMT https://community.sony.si/t5/portable-audio/car-radio-upgrade/m-p/228924#M520 Drumzman 2011-07-14T16:27:00Z
