Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] laptop car stereo

["Christian M. Cepel" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I've had perfect luck with the little Belkin TuneCast II 
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=166903
Just be sure to buy a 3' 'headphone' extension cord to plug between your 
device (laptop) and the TuneCast.  The antenna is attached to the jack 
and this serves to lengthen the antenna and give it wonderful range.   
The Tunecast II comes with a cig-lighter power supply and the tuning is 
purely digital, so it's absolutely the best of all worlds.
