Does anybody know anything that I can plug a jump drive into, then play it in my car (tune in a radio station and pick it up) relatively cheaply? I have over 1300 songs on my jump drive and would love to be able to take them with me. I'm trying to do this without buying a $400 iwhatever.

I bought the wiring and install kit too but was still under two bills. I can plug in an aux. unit in the front along with the memory stick. It has a cd player and an sd card slot. 8)

yes, I've seen those. I'm trying not to replace my head unit since the computer readouts are on it for the car. That's why I'm leaning toward the fm signal.

Just go to Buy.com and get an 8Gb Sansa MP3 player for around $60. I have three (4Gb, 6Gb and 8Gb), one on each bike and one for the gym bag. Worst case it gets wet or stolen, I still have two left.

I know of a place that has super cheap MP3 players with built in FM transmitters, plugs into the cigarette lighter.

$10:

FYI, I've bought LEDs and other things from this guy many times, it takes a little while but for free shipping it's hard to complain. The prices are absurdly cheap, but I'm not gonna pretend like it's the best stuff in the world. His workmanship is pretty bad, but the design is good.

Bleed - that's the ticket! I figure for $10 it's worth trying out. Thanks everyone for all the help!
