Well I have a quick question. My CD player in my truck hates like everykind of burnt CD's except for the ones my one friend burns so I need to do something. I was looking at a FM transmitter but I hear that they all make static andI dont want static...lol. My radio has AUX plug in the back and I was wondering I get this:http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103865&cp=&origkw=Y+Audio+cable&kw=y+audio+cable&parentPage=search

will I be able to just plug my MP3 player in when want and it will work? I am also open to other ideas.

do you have the factory CD player? if you do your best bet is to buy an aftermarket Headunit, alot of them these days have special Ipod/MP3 hook ups, and they will play burnt CDs, you can get them at a very resonable price too, i got a nice Kenwood for my car, for 130 installed. Not only will they play your music but they are louder too, not to mention they will give you the ability to upgrade you sound system, like adding amps and subs but i dont know your style so you might not want to go that far.

If your head unit has the in ports on the back you should be able to plug it in. What i got is the tape drive to headphone jack for our vehicle, and suprisingly it sounds good, except for the fact that dads speaker sucked but that has been changed.

Oh vehicles are:
99 tacoma stock stereo
02 highlander stock stereo(IDK what this thing has in it but DAYM, i cracked one of the mirros on it)
