But there is a law that they can charge u if u dun concentrate on driving while on the road.
How many ppl would install it? Singapore is so small. By the time u open your windows media player time for u to shut down liao

I see my uncle he managed to syncronise his ipod to the car system. He plug in the adapter and its something like he on the radio to the same frequency as the ipod then the songs are played from the ipod to the car speakers... No wires needed!

Not sure leh.. But got one way sure can one. Is that thing is actually a normal casette but got the wire coming out for u to plug into the headphone jack of your device. Sure work one but when u travelling it takes your battery power lor. Unless u can take the car power then not so bad.

Best use bluetooth lah... Wireless all the way... Next time MP3 players will have bluetooth also. Now have liao but not popular
