If your car's audio system doesn't recognize MP3 audio books, consider these options:

· Use a cassette player adapter. If your car has a cassette player, check out a CD-to-Cassette Player adapter. It looks like a cassette tape with a stereo cable hanging from one end. Plug the cable into your portable MP3 player's headphone jack, insert the cassette, and start listening to your MP3s through your car stereo. It sounds amazingly good - well, at least compared to the road noise.

· Use a wireless FM adapter. Every car has an FM radio and one of the easy ways to listen to audio books on the road. Plug the cable from an FM transmitter into your portable MP3 player. Then tune your car's FM radio to the right frequency and listen to your MP3 books. Unfortunately, sound quality varies because of local interference, and you're dependent on the batteries that power your wireless adapter. For iPod users, Griffin’s iTrip wirelessly sends the iPod’s audio to any FM receiver, to free you from the tyranny of headphones (griffintechnology.com). The Universal FM Transmitter for MP3 players from kensington.com is a good option for non-iPod users.

· Buy a car stereo with a CD Input jack. Some car stereos lack a CD player. Instead, they have a CD Input jack. Plug a 1/8-inch stereo cable between this jack and your portable MP3 player to hear MP3s through your car's stereo system.

· Consider a car with MP3 compatibility. If you are an avid audio book listener and spend a lot of time on the road, most Ford cars have MP3 player compatibility built into their car audio system. Ford's Sync technology supports audio book format and can be integrated with your MP3 player.

If you are not sure your car audio is MP3 compatible, please send us a note to customer.service@kitabe.com with the make & model of your car and we will research and let you know of the Mp3 capabilities of your car audio.
