Metro, I find the cassette adapters work better than the FM transmitters. Some work better than others, price doesn't seem to have much to do with it. I bought the cheapest one they had at London Drugs and it works great. I will be looking for a cassette deck for the other twin, it has some fancy Sony CD player with no MP3 input in it, and man I hate aftermarket stereos.

Well the battery assist experience was short lived, it charged all the way up to full, and the assist would kick in for about a half an hour. Then when I went out later that night, the pack was down to 1 bar and it wasn't charging again. I'll try a recal again and see what happens.
