Our in the trunk CD Changer packed it in about 10 years ago. We drove without music for quite a while.
Then we had a wired FM Modulator (plugged into headphone jack) installed on the car 6 years ago. Reception was OK - better than nothing. The wire eventually developed shorts at the plug. We stopped using it. Again driving without music.
We were driving in the mountains (toward Whistler) and my Wife found on the internet several Bluetooth devices that plug into the cigarette lighter. You pick up on the FM radio station. We stopped at Canadian Tire and bought this for about $ 70. The sound transmitted via wireless from my Wife's Google Pixel was amazing. I have not heard the sub woofer & tweeters going like that in quite a while! Clear as a bell!. Very happy.
You can answer & place outgoing calls. We found that Google Maps would interrupt the music to give driving directions. Very handy.
Maybe not the most sophisticated unit .. but one of the features is an Auxiliary input ... for older playback devices;
Scosche BTFreq Bluetooth FM Transmitter
The longer head of Scosche’s FM transmitter gives it a sleeker look than its bulkier competitors. Though the LED screen was reduced to compensate for the slimmer size, as an FM transmitter and Bluetooth compatible device, the screen doesn’t need to be large.
The flex neck furthers the convenience of the device by allowing the user to shift the head in any direction needed. Enjoy clarity on your phone calls thanks to DSP echo cancellation and rock out to your favorite stations or your personal music collection on Apple and Android devices.
Working on an older device without Bluetooth? The auxiliary port ensures you’re still able to enjoy a quality listening experience.
