How can I Connect my H120 to the car audio player

[Nazgulled]

Hi,
I used to have a car audio tape player and I could easily use one of those cassette tape adaptors, put the K7 in the audio player, connect the jack to the DAP and the voila.

The good thing about this method was that I could navigate and select the songs I want to play through the DAP's menu system.

However, my dad recently switched the car's audio player and now I don't have a tape player anymore but a CD player, it also has a USB port and support for SD cards and such.

I know I could connect the DAP through USB and play my music but if I do that, I have to use the car audio player to select the songs I want and it simply sucks.

Is there way for me to connect my iriver H120 to this CD player somehow in a way that I can use the DAP's menu system to navigate and select the songs I want to play?

You need the stereo to have some sort of AUX IN port to do what you want to do, or just get one of those FM transmitters. I'm sure this is explained at greater length in one of these boards, feel free and have a look around.

For what I've read, people seem to prefer the cassette adapter and I don't even know where to buy one of those (probably is a bit expensive too).

At least for connection options where you retain control of the music on your DAP, the order in terms of quality (bad to good) would be:
1. FM transmitters
2. Cassette adapters
3. Auxiliary input

Got it... Guess I'm screwed!

My sister's bf was handy with electronics and soldered a jack for an auxiliary input into his car stereo, with an additional switch to go between tape/radio and AUX. But I don't think today's stereos are as easy to manipulate.
