    What can I do MP3 & USB

    What can I do and who do I get to do it. As very cr@p with electrical bits and bobs in cars. I have the normal V70 2005 SE T5 CD player in unit but want the facility to use either USB or ipod or similar for my MP3 down loads.
    Could I be talking loads of dosh or something not to bad. I suppose I could just put up with CD but thought I would ask.

    There are a number of inexpensive transmitters you could use, however, you will never get a perfect sound for all of your music using a transmitter, there are too many variables involved even with the best noise/ transient/ peaks supression systems.

    Have a gander in the ICE section on here - there are some relatively cheap kits available which can plug direct into the back of the stereo (aux), which is a fairly simples job.

    What he said - the USA Spec gear looks like something you might be interested in, is definitely on my list!

    Yes, the USA Spec thing works really well, I found one on E-Bay, fitted in 30 mins, there are instructions in the ICE section.
