    Do you have a regular aux jack on your car stereo? If so you can run a 3.5 mm wire to your BB. I hate the Bluetooth. it sounds like crap.

    When you say 2 color cables, do you mean RCA jack?

    Yes there is. Radio shack would probably be your best bet. You're looking for a 3.5 mm to RCA. At least I think the BB end is a 3.5. You should take it in just to make sure. It oughta run about 6 bucks

    What you said does not make sense. Do you have a regular aux jack or a do you have RCA only?

    yes thats it, you know what i was also noticing that my car radio has like a connector for an external cd changer and well i see that they also sell the cables for that connector to 3.5mm headphone jack, my question is would it sound better through the cd changer connector or the RCA Line cables?
    maybe with the cd changer connector i can get CD quality sound???

    I'm not familiar with the CD changer connector but it should sound great either way since you are connecting with wires. I have to use the 2.5 to 3.5mm adapter and then connect to my car stereo aux jack on my 8820 and it sounds great! Much better than when I tried bluetooth.

    In my Honda I have a good stereo (subs, amps, etc) and the aftermarket head unit has RCA's on the back. I got a Monster cable, hooked the Berry (or MP3 player) to it and the sound quality is great.

    In my Jeep I have a factory deck that has CD changer controls on the back. In order to plug a Monster cable into that, I had to get some kind of iPod converter thing (sorry, I don't remember what it was called exactly, it was some kind of inverter and it was expensive) but after a few hours of fiddling, it works as well. I can't say which way has better sound quality as the Honda obviously has a better stereo, but for ease of installation and price, the Honda was WAY simpler. Good luck!

    I would think it would sound the same since the CD changer would go through the head unit. You could always try it and see.

    What I was trying to say in my long and rambling post was that it may not even WORK through the CD changer with just a cable. But it can't hurt to try it!
