However, at the bottom of the page it said "for connecting iPods we recommend using this cable. This cable ends up being an additional $25. So I'm running the numbers through my head and it adds up to $90 without shipping. Although It would be nice to have AUX quality audio from my iPhone playing in my car it just seems too much, mainly because I'm also interested in finding something that I can move from one car to another. Which is why I'm considering a cassette or FM transmitter that's decently price and delivers decent quality.
    You don't have to buy that extra cable. That is if you want to charge your ipod on the go (and would require a little bit of wiring skills to install).

    You can buy the $65 adapter and use one of these:

    Called an RCA-to-3.5mm adapter (male to male).
    Should only cost a few dollars from radioshack.


    But try the cassette tape first. You can easily return that if you don't like the sound quality.

    Its funny, this reminds me how when I was younger I used to tap onto the potentiometer (volume nob insides) in the radio and I could even put a mic onto it (I used to use old telephone mics cause the telephone company didn't seal their equipment very well back then). I actually remember once having a radio outside the front door of the house on the porch and I was inside with the mic. My brothers got a kid neighbor over and I flipped a switch and changed from actual radio music to mic and pretended to be a news announcer and said there was a tornado heading for Jimmy Scarzinsky's house and he ran home screaming at the top of his lungs.

    That same year my parents went out on halloween and left us kids in charge of handing out candy. I used the same radio but wired a speaker outside of it so I could put it into a pumpkin on the porch. When the kids would come to the door I made spooky sounds, and most of them ran away. When my parents got home they couldn't believe how much candy we had left. My uncle was into electronics and used to tutor me and give me all kinds of stuff to play with it was great. To this day I'm not afraid to go inside anything no matter how small or high voltage it might be inside. My Uncle Emil taught me more in a few years then my Dad did my whole life. God bless Uncle Em.
