    Attention car stereo experts!

    On long trips, I like to use my laptop as a DVD player to entertain the
    kids. Because the volume on my laptop was inadequate, we used to connect
    the headphone jack of the laptop to the cassette player in the car (using
    one of those cassette-like converter cables) so that we could better hear
    the movie using the car stereo speakers. My old car is gone and my new
    Saturn has the CD/MP3 Player.

    Is this possible to input sound from an external device with the Saturn
    CD/MP3 Player?

    There are no audio input jacks on the player itself, but has anyone out
    there ever pulled out the CD/MP3 unit to see if there is a way to wire in an
    external jack? If so, please let me know. Having a CD player is much
    better than a cassette player, but being able to input audio was a feature I
    liked with the cassette player. Hopefully there is a way to get it done
    with the CD player as well.

    Thanks in advance.

    On long trips, I like to use my laptop as a DVD player to entertain the
    Go to Best Buy or wal mart and get one of those FM transmitters. Basically you
    plug your laptop into it, tune your radio to the proper frequency, and you have
    your sound!

    Get the one from Radio Shack. It's light years better than the one from Best
    Buy. No frequency drift.

    You also could check with a local car audio company, one of the GM adapters
    from Pacific Accessory Corporation may work.

    For example: http://www.pac-audio.com/products/aai.htm, scroll down to
    AAI-GM24, that adapter would work I would think.
