In most used foreign cars, you can still find an outdated audio system. It does an excellent job of playing back music in the legacy Audio CD format and works as a radio receiver. But if the car owner wants to listen to his collection of MP3 music, then this will not work. After all, outdated radio tape recorders did not know how to work with this format. In order to listen to MP3 on an old car radio, you can use a few tricks, and it is not at all necessary to replace the entire original audio system.
Instructions
Step 1
The first and easiest way is to purchase a so-called FM transmitter. It is an inexpensive modern device that allows you to organize the transfer of your favorite MP3 music over the radio channel. The device broadcasts on a certain frequency selected by the user and the car audio system can be tuned to this frequency. Thus, using a regular radio, the user gains access to his music collection. The purchase of the device will cost only 200 - 300 rubles, and its work will delight even a rather demanding user. In addition, modern transmitters have the Hands Free function.
Step 2
The next option is to use the audio in port in the radio. While the simplest systems do not have any input ports, more advanced radios often have the required port. The port allows you to connect any sound source to your audio system using a 3.5 mm mini Jack cable. For example, you can use the most ordinary smartphone, into which instead of the earphone you insert the wire from the radio. This is a simple and reliable way. It guarantees good sound quality and ease of use. But, unfortunately, most of the outdated radio tape recorders do not have an audio in input.
Step 3
Recently, more technological methods have appeared. There are transmitters on sale adapted to work directly with a smartphone via blue tooth. This device works like a normal transmitter, but instead of a flash card or internal memory, it uses music transmitted through a smartphone. This option is more interesting than using a simple transmitter, since your smartphone acts as a storage medium, which usually always has your favorite music on it. In addition, the smartphone is capable of playing Internet radio, which is very useful and convenient.
