Attaching external walkman to Accord
 

My 2004 Accord LX does not have cassette player. Is there any way to
attach an external walkman and listen to it through the accord
speakers?

I am trying to figure out if I can get away from buying a in-dash
cassette player.

For $30, Radio Shack will sell you a gadget that plugs into the headphone
port on your cassette player and broadcasts an FM signal to the radio. Works
perfectly in my '03 Accord EX V6.

Try reaching you hand around behind the back of the radio. My CRV has
RCA inputs on the back of the radio. You can buy a cord with RCA jacks
on one end and a miniplug on the other end. I also have on eof those FM
things and a cassette thing.

I play my ipod and satellite radio the same way. In ranking them -
1. Best - RCA input cord
2. Better - Cassette with wire on it
3. Worst - FM transmitter

Re: Attaching external walkman to Accord
 

Use an FM transmitter that runs off of batteries. It "broadcasts"
whatever you plug in into, to an unused Fm radio station on your dial.

I've used 3 different transmitters now. The cheap ones are OK. I've
noticed that they tend to drift a little when used for several hours,
and they don't perform as well in big cities where there is a lot of
radio signals close to the frequency you are using.

The 3rd one that I tried I love. It is made by a CCrane and will run
you $80. But I used this on a 13 hour drive and it worked great, big
city and all.

It has a digital tuner rather than a thumb knob.
