car radio knowledge
May 19, 2008, 12:21:43 am
I bought a car second hand and the radio has a usb socket of a type i've never seen before - really quite small. anyway, i need a cable to connect from that to a small usb plug (such as that that plugs into a camera) so i can attach my mp3 player to it. anyone got the 411?

I would guess that it is some sort of connection specific to the radio but without the make and model of the radio it is difficult to say - try Google to see if you can get a manual for it on line.

As for the CD's - are they burned CD's as some car radios can be a bit funny about them - again Google is your friend.  ;)

Is it like the connection on your MP3 player in shape, only a bit smaller?
