Fitting MP3 to 98 astra
speedyxjs - 17/12/08 at 01:18 PM

Has anyone done it before? I tried to do it to mine. Brought the wires and everything, went to fit it and noticed that the plugs are all mounted to the back of the slot, not loose like normal cars. The problem is that the mp3 player i have brought has the plug on the right and the aerial socket on the left. The car has them the other way round

My Bluebird still has the original tape deck, I fitted a £12 radio transmitter to my I-pod and play it through the cars radio. Works very well indeed with perfectly clear sound and I usually don't even bother taking the I-pod out my pocket Missy has the same for her Corsa. I love my I-pod, listening to it right now infact , still on the original battery despite claims they only last a year...

I know i use them in the vans but a) iv already brought the mp3 player and b) the original unit is worth more than i payed om the bay so was hoping to make a few pennies
