MP3 Adapters
Want to listen to your MP3 player in-car? Our team tests 14 top kits that make it easy. But which is the best buy?
August 2006
A re you tired of listening to rambling DJs and hearing the same songs, day in, day out? Then change things by connecting an MP3 player to your car stereo. There are a variety of ways of transferring tracks from your digital music player, from simple cassette adaptors to a hard-wired kit. But which works best? We tuned in to 14 to find out.
Verdict
It was a close match between the Dension ice>link Plus and Scorpion’s iDrive. The former is better built but is priced accordingly, and although it wins, we’d be happy with the Scorpion.
The use of FM modulators as tested here has only recently been permitted by Ofcom, but the best one we tried was the Griffin iTrip Auto. Its price advantage over the well built Monster iCarPlay Wireless Plus meant it was our choice as an FM wireless solution.
Top 3
- Dension ice>link Plus
- Scorpion iDrive
- Griffin iTrip Auto (FM wireless)
