From my experience, you won't have frequent drops, but you will have trouble finding clear FM frequencies in urban areas, and the dynamic range of FM ain't no great shakes even when it's interference-free.

For the life of me, I don't understand why auto manufacturers aren't putting aux inputs into their OEM stereo heads. How fucking slow are they allowed to be? We've had personal audio devices for about five years.

I got the cassette after the radio. Though I sometimes get to drive in areas where there are not too many radio stations to interfere with the lower end of the FM range that is available for the radio option, there were still too many instances of interference. The cassette option seems awkward and funky, but its significantly better quality.

You might be able to make a bazillion if you invent something better. Know any good patent lawyers?

Edited to add: basically what AG said

What they said, but jebus--you didn't realize you don't have a cassette player in your car?

If you're a swanky lawyer, and, perforce, have a BMW, there is an "aux in" cable that is not much money and works great. Some other car manufacturers have the same type of thing.

I am not a car guy. my eyes got all shiny when I realized I had a 6 disc CD changer. Who owns cassettes anymore.

Well I'm not a car guy but even I know to call bullshit here. BMW is first year decent bonus car.
Could you say this again, but slower and with more explaination. Do you think I might have this? i have a Grand Cherokee.

I think i can find an open 4 or 5 points- that's enough isn't it? Or are you saying if you travel you'll tend to enter an area with interference because of this?
Are you saying it will sound for shit anyway? Will it sound as good as my radio?

I Pod (best way to hook into car)
 

It will likely still sound like shit. Although, you may be in luck. This company makes a link adapter for several makes including (gulp) the Chrysler family.

And yet it still looks like a gameboy. I can't imagine taking calls all day on that thing.

Update - borrowed a $2500 subwoofer over the weekend.

It was OK. Really deep, tight bass, but didn't have enough upper bass filler for music. Not a good match for the speakers, but good for home theatre.

Also, listened to a $29,000 pair of speakers. They were nice, although a tiny bit forward sounding. But overall, pretty good.

The ice>Link Plus plays high quality music from your iPod through your existing car entertainment system's CD changer port

I do have a CD player- i know I do.

that's the thing, but it looks like no jeeps.

You just need one consistent frequency open. Set the transmitter to that freq, and leave it.

In SF, there are almost no open frequencies. If there were, Clear Channel would have bought it and started playing shitty music on it already.

FM does not meet audiophile standards, but if you're the lucky type that can't tell the diff between CD and FM, you should not be an unhappy customer.

The audio cassette adapter remains the best option for those of us without Aux In.

IPOD Jeep

The site lists 96-04 Jeep products. Pull up the applicable year to make sure your model is listed. The icelink connection attaches to the back of the headunit. (If you go this route, far superior sound quality, but you will probably need a professional install to get to the rear of the radio.)

Comcast and TiVo make a deal
 

After talks initially fell through, the two companies reached a cross-marketing deal today. Read about it here.

Does anyone have a good speakerphone that will do full duplex, mute, caller id, like the one in my office? Even better if it has a cordless phone that will take a 2.5mm earpiece and do mute on the earpiece.

I can find these features from a lot of phones, but I want to find one with very good sound quality.

My three-pronged (can't remember the brand, but you know what I'm talking about) home speakerphone is giving horrible feedback, and I really need one so that I'm not stuck at the office doing these calls when I don't want to be.

If you mean polycom, that's what I would ahve suggested.

Ugh, anything cheaper? I think that I might just try some purchasing crap at Best Buy or something, testing it to see how it works, and then returning the bad ones.
