Play Your Zune In The Car

There are lots of options for playing your Zune in the car. We'll examine a few of them here.

The easiest choice for many is a standard cassette adapter used on for any MP3 player. Plug the chord into your Zune and plug the cassette into your car's cassette deck.

Looking for something a bit more slick? An FM transmitter is another great choice. Again, plug the jack into your Zune, find an open FM station and broadcast accordingly. Remember that you can use a transmitter designed for any other product - as long as they use the basic jack. In our experience, the cheaper FM transmitters tend to easily catch static. If you are going to go this route, a reputable company such as Belkin is a good way to go.

What about the "official" Zune Travel Pack from Microsoft? It's a fine product, just doesn't do anything better than any of the other options out there.

Will we see car stereo systems that you plug into your Zune? Soon.

    Can you use the cassette (with radio plug) that comes with the XM radio?

    There is an amazing product that was designed for the iPod to directly plug into your existing car stereo called the Neo iOn-2 iPod from http://mp3mycar.com/. The device can be ordered with an adapter for virtually any factory stereo system and provides direct input functionality from your iPod to your stereo system. Why am I posting this on a Zune web site? Because with the iOn-2, there is also a headphone-in jack where you can plug any device with a headphone-out jack and a male-to-male cord into the iOn and receive the quality Zune owners deserve to their car stereo. I am the proud owner of both an iPod -and- a Zune 30 and this device was worth every penny of its $200!
