Connect my MP3 player to Car speaker, possible?

Question

Hi,

My car mp3 player is stolen by a kid breaking the windows. I am not planning to buy a new player again.

Few days ago, a friend of mine suggest me can use a mp3 player to replace a car player, but certainly need some cables to convert signal into card speaker.

I have checked on ebay the cable is called Car ISO audio cable. But I still not quite sure which one I am looking for.

Please anyone knows car well can tell me, what kind of cables I need to use to connect the mp3 player to my car speaker?

Thank you.

it would be better if u buy a cheap chinese brand head unit. with ur mp3 player, u wudnt have am/fm, cd, and ur dash wuld look ugly. spending lil money for a cheap head unit would be better

Answer 3

sadly your mp3 player wont really have the power to drive the speackers...radios that have mp3 conection plug utilises its own amplifier to boost the mp3 ....

Answer 4

NO you can't just connect your MP3 direct to car speakers.

Answer 5

Just buy a cheap car stereo with an input socket on the front, then you just need a lead from the headphone output of the MP3 to the car stereo.

An MP3 player will not power car speakers directly as it will be too quiet
