Know any cheap car cd or cassette player with aux in?

[greenlion]

My car cassette player is shot(doesn't work) so that I can't use my cassette adapter to hook in my nomad zen anymore. Since I'm going to buy a new car stereo, I thought that I should by one with an aux in which is a lot better than using a cassette adapter.

I've been searching but it seems all the players I could find, cd or cd/mp3, cost above $200. Could someone recommend a cheaper one. A cassette tape player with an aux in would be fine too. I really don't care whether it is a cd or cassette player as long as it is cheap and, much more important, has an auxilliary input.

Thanks.

While not exactly what you are looking for, have you considered one of these?

I use one of these with my iPAQ to listen to MP3s through my car stereo. It works good and will work with any radio receiver. The other nice benefit is that it will work in your house, at your friend's house, at parties, etc... If you really want to play your music anywhere there is a radio, this is the best choice (IMHO of course ).

Edited to correct my horrible abuse of the English language.

Another option is have someone install a aux port. Try going to a local electronics store like Best Buy or Circuit City that does installs and ask them to install your new radio with an Aux port so you can plug in your Jukebox. If you buy the radio from that store they will normally install everything for free.

Got to Walmart or Sears....
Walmart:

Sears:

Both of these are good CD players and just a little over $100... you can get cheaper new, but I dont trust them... and used is always iffy on its life span. Also most tape players will still cost almost this much any more.

Can't help you outside the US though.... if you are.

Oh.... and I forgot to say.... these should be available in store.... you shouldn't have to get them online.

The one at sears says its web exclusive.

Thanks for all your alternative suggestions everyone but I'm quite set on looking for a car stero with an aux input. I'll keep them in mind though if I'm not able to find what I'm looking for.

notquitehere, thanks for your links. The first one does not have any aux in but the second one does have it. Anyways, even if they both don't have the aux in, the suggestion of going to sears or walmart was still a good one. I've never thought of those two stores, only Fry's and Best Buy.

Thanks to everyone again

Let me just say this....... I've seen that Aiwa in a sears.... thats why I knew that had them. So ignore the website, and that post that pointed it out...... my eyes know better.

Okay, I'll be going to Sears and Walmart in the next few days then. Thanks

AIWA, it's Sony's "test" brand.
