Default Connect iPod to the car acoustic system

Does anyone know a good adapter for listening to music collections from MP3 players in the car? I know that there are special car adapters for this. Can you suggest any? I was searching and the best reviews for connecting mobie devices has car adapter AUX Link. But before purchasing it I'd like to get some more information...Is someone using it? What's your opinion? Any other solutions?

I bought AUX Link car adapter almost one year ago. Totally satisfied. Perfect sound, no technical problems so far. Had to spend more time than I expected to install it, but finally it worked out well (I did the installation on my own, but at any specialized workshop you can have it done in no time). I was purchasing here AUX Car Kits. It's official store so they have lowest prices (at least when I was buying it) and free shipping worldwide. As for advantages of AUX Link, it can be also used as a charger and a hands-free car kit. Apart form this you can control the playback using the buttons on the steering wheel or on the car stereo. Highly recommended.

Thanks for your suggestion! I checked it out. Really good reviews. Did you buy it together with Bluetooth dongle?To use AUX Link as a hand-free car kit...Is it worth it?

From my point of view it's totally worth it. It's a good substitution for a separate hands-free kit. In other words with this AUX Link you get adapter, charger and a Bluetooth hands-free kit. Three devices in one.

Guys, just wanted to share my experience. Eventually took the decision to buy AUX Link. I was trying to find the best deal and it's really cheaper to buy it at the official website AUX Car Kits. It was delivered in just five days. At first I tried to install it myself, but experiences some troubles extracting the OEM car stereo. So in the end I had it installed in the nearest auto workshop. It took just 15 minutes. So far totally satisfied with the adapter.

Advantages:

- high quality sound
- you can use it as a charger
- with Bluetooth dongle can be used as a car hands-free kit
- music control with buttons on the steering wheel and buttons on the car stereo (very convenient)
- suitable for all music formats
- compatible with my Apple gadgets, but there is also a plug for other mobile devices
- delivery is free and fast
- takes very little space and almost invisible
- now I can listen to all my favourite compositions without carrying piles of CDs.

Disadvantages:

- relatively expensive as I also ordered additional Bluetooth dongle
- could't easily take out the head unit so had to go to service center

But taking everything into account, I guess it's a good price-quality ratio. So all in all it's worth it.
