NickHodgson Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Not sure if this is the right place to post this.... I have a Sony MP3 Walkman (can't remember the model, but it's round about 5cm diam). Is there anyway of linking this into the radio on the A4 without spending loads of money? I can get an AUX lead for the mini that simply plugs into the back of the radio for about £40 and wondered if there was something similar?

gizze Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 You can buy a connects2 adapter for the chorus radio that gives you stereo phono inputs, I had one of these in our A2 with a 3.5mm jack to 2 phono plugs hooking my Song HDW5 mp3 player into it. There is also an adapter for the sony mp3 players now to, this allows you to control the unit from the head unit and charges it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamD Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Why not get a Belkin FM transmitter? Just uses a jack plug to connet to the MP3 player. I just got one from Currys for 30ukp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yeah the second one is an aux in and you can get it from Halfords for £49. Can't seem to find the sony one, but to be honest it is twice the price and you can't see anything on the head unit so you may as well stick with the above, you can plug anything in then.
