Play MP3s through car stereo?

I looked in the archives but can't find anything... I'm looking for a way for my husband to use his Centro through the car stereo in his car. He was looking at getting an iPod, but would much rather stick to one device. Anyone know of an accessory? We've looked, but it probably doesn't help that I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for.

And of course as soon as I post, I find it! I hate that... okay, so next question... which one do people recommend?

There is one in the store here - PDAPhone.com

Anyone use it? Good? Any other recommendations?

First off, try posting on mytreo.net -- more activity/Centro users there.

Secondly, you'll need an A2DP software as the Centro doesn't offer this from the factory. I'd suggest Softick Audio Gateway ( Softick Audio Gateway - A2DP wireless stereo headphones and headsets support for Palm OS handhelds and smartphones (Treo 650, Treo 700p, Palm TX, Life Drive, Tungsten T3 and more) ) -- that is what I have and it works pretty nicely.

Lastly ... you'll need either a car stereo with built-in Bluetooth (Pioneer and Sony make good units), or some other way to get the BT audio pumped into your car. I like the Pioneer the best for this, but there are other add-on units that let you retain your factory unit. Any good stereo shop can help ya there. G'luck!

I hook mine up to the Monster fm transmitter (using a Universal http://www.cellphoneshop.net/un2to3hespad.html2.5mm to 3.5mm Headset Adapter)

It plays through one of 8 fm preset channels.

It also works for hands free (as long as you dont mind the chance that there may be another person listening to the same channel that might pick up your phone call, tough they'd only hear half of the converstion)

or if your car has the input jack for an mp3 player then you could plug your cell phone into that jack with the same Universal http://www.cellphoneshop.net/un2to3hespad.html2.5mm to 3.5mm Headset Adapter
