Default Where to buy adapter to connect MP3 player to CD changer output on radio

I have an '02 S8 with Nav, no changer and am looking to connect my MP3 player (not IPOD) to the changer output as opposed to the cassette adapter that sounds like ****. Appreciate if anyone has leads on this.

1 way that doesnt take any installation is a FM modulator that broadcasts the music over a FM signal of your choosing. music clarity matches that of any radio station.

doesnt require any mods, and can be used in all vehicles.

Just one way to do it.

I know such adapters would emulate cd changer for main radio, so it has own bios and microprocessor. If you have someone, who can meke it i give you links. (i can't found it now)

Default search on google for blitzsafe. it works I have it installed

it is a hardwired adapter that fits in your stock head unit via the cd changer plug. no cd changer by who cares if you have a mp3 player. easy install.. just plug it in run the wire for the mp3 player standard jack and enjoy

I don't know where you live, Deep, but I must say that here in the Boston/New England area an FM modulator was a huge disappointment for me. Too many cities/people/stations. Almost impossible to find an empty one. And the ones that are occupied can bleed through. So I think it's really a function of where you happen to live.

Im also sadly disappointed in FM adaptors. Try and take a road trip with one and it's horrible.
