    These things are rubbish, interference is a problem and the sound is all tinny and rubbish.

    Get a stereo with an Audio in Jack at the front.

    I got something similar that also takes SD cards and USB sticks and plays mp3's from them. It fits in the lighter socket, and cost less than 7 euro incl post from China or HK. It even has a remote control !
