you need something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=52479

theres a real brand, but i forgot what its called.. they sell it at good guys. it uses fm radio signals to transmit data from a headphone jack. i used to use one for my laptop in my eclipse to play mp3s.

I've been looking one for my Ipaq with gps as well. I came across these.

Try this one. 150 hrs of power is not bad.

Or this one. Never have to worry about battery at all.

It's called an FM or RF modulator. It turns the output of your pda or whatever into a radio frequency that you can pick up on your tuner (like tb said)........but DON'T get a cheap one. I think you get what you pay for when it comes to FM modulators.

what u need is a wireless FM MODULATOR not an RF MODULATOR...I say wireless that way u don't have to take your radio bezel apart....I got mine from circuit city (iRock) for about $27+tax and it works really good...

the FM modulators will work much better than the FM broadcasters (wireless). the wireless ones are very convenient and easy to use, but i guess it depends on the reception of the antenna. i've used a few different ones and never got good results from them.

the difference is that the FM modulator is hard wired to the radio, because it jumps through the actual antenna connection and cuts off your regular radio reception. you get a lot clearer sound. it does require that you take your radio out of the dash, but that's really not that hard.

Well i have an ipod and it has a wireless RF transmitter where you pick wich clear radio station you want to broadcast on. In your case i would just buy a stereo with an input on the face unless you dont want wires i would go with the modulator idea its the same thing they use for cd changers.
