    Getting a B130 that will go on the road with me. mostly for GPS. But of course, there's no reason not to play my mp3s...

    Looking for a decent one for less than $50, preferably in the $20-$30 range. Any suggestions?

    Use a cassette tape adaptor if you have a tape slot. My experience with fm transmitters has been horrible.

    No go on tape decks. It's RF only, I'm afraid...

    zenguy I agree, but if you say you can't and it's only RF then try out the unit I have.

    I got it with an mp3 player purchase for my cousin, it's the iRiver model from radioshack or G-Whiz.

    It's really cheap and works just like the rest of 'em.

    Cheers,
    Mike
