Music in the car

[DagsJT]

Right then, I've got an FM transmitter (second type) and it's poo. I can't be doing with having hundreds of cd's lying around.

My SatNav plays MP3's but it sounds a bit tinny and grates a bit after a while. Unfortunately my car doesn't have an aux-in socket, and it's a company car so I can't switch the radio system out. Is there a set of speakers which are small enough to fit in a glove compartment and give out good sound?

Why can't you buy a new radio mate? That's what I've done with my company van, I bought a nice Sony one with aux in, cd player and USB stick playback

I'm pretty sure they can't be modified at all. I'll check with my manager and see. How much was your radio? Aren't they well expensive?

Edit: Just seen this ... "Bit of an oversight by Vauxhall missing out an Aux In or cd changer port. Pointless installing a new audio system as you will lose the steering wheel functions plus the dash display. No one manufactures adaptors for it yet."

Edit: A manager in work has just gave me his Veho FM transmitter. I've tried a Kensington one costing £15, a Belkin Tunecast 3 (costing £20 or so) and both were CRAP, tried the Veho and it sounds brilliant! Woohoo!

I have a cheap stereo but the main thing is it has an AUX in socket, a £2 lead later and I can easily wire in my MP3 player.
