MP3 FM Modulator - $22.99

[borosp1]

You can pluggin any USB keychain drive and play mp3s through your car stereo. Havent tried it, but looks like a neat item.

Plug the MP3 FM Modulator into your car's 12 volt adapter, then plug any USB memory drive and you're off cruising to your favorite tunes.

Looks like this is like that woot.com site where the deal only last 1 day:

Has anyone had experience with this item? Might have to get one for only 23 bucks...

Usually these things don't work all that well, a tape adapter is better. Don't know about this specific one though.

I've heard mostly good things about this device. You can buy it al Walmart for $30 just in case you don't get in on this deal.

I have one, it's ok. Reception is decent but not great--but then again my car doesn't have a real antenna, only those lines on the back window. Every once in a while I've had it randomly turn off on me..not sure why. There are a couple of annoying things about it:
1. It doesn't memorize which station you tuned it to (you have to reset it every time you power on). 2. It doesn't memorize which song you were on (when using a USB flash drive) so you have to start over. There's also no features for shuffle or a display showing you what you're playing. Of course, if you plug in your own MP3 player into it's, it's not a problem. I wish I could go with the tape adapter route but my car didn't come with a tape player. Even better would have been using the AUX input, but that would have been a lot more expensive and required tearing apart some stuff to convert it to accept RCA jacks. At least this was cheap and easy. Hope that helps.

looks similar to the FM TuneCast II. I have the TuneCast for ipod but it sorta sucks. Not good reception at all and it needs almost constant adjusting.

Can anyone compare this with the TuneCast?

And Costco has these. They are $25 I think, but don't quote me on that.

true, but how many people still have cassette tapes in their cars?
