Funny that because today I was thinking about putting music in the Minx.
Should I go iPod, or remote CD? Either way I need speakers. Any advice?

Hmm, I suppose Ipod is the future and the way to go.. prolly why car cd
players are so cheap.. but I've gotta get some kind of interface.. and
Bose is wayy too expensive.. plus I don't want to cut the dash at all..
More research I think.

I've got one. Doesn't work, unless I hold the iPod up to the radio. Kind of
hard to drive that way.

That's about it. You just need to work out a bracket to hold the iPod in
position where you can reach it & you're away. You can also get phone
holders that have a sticky pad on the back. Avoid the magnetic ones
though, they don't do the HD in the iPod any good. iPod nano should be
OK, as I think they use flash memory.
I'm not entirely sure about the details on the iPod, but it's a system I
use with an Archos MP3 player on various coaches.
Transmitter or cassette adaptor into the PA system.

Headphone extension lead to the transmitter, maybe, with a bit of
Bluetack to hold the transmitter in place?

Assuming it's a standard-size stereo enclosure, just but an MP3-ready
player ... they're cheap as chips these days. Transmitter are a bit of
a pain due to interference, though some are better in this respect than
others, and those cassette-replacers are an abortion of an idea, and
rarely work for long, and do so badly when they do.
