TD here with a stupid question
I've just bought a new car that doesn't have a digital radio but does have an auxilliary input socket.

Can I just buy an MP3 or similar with digital radio and plug it in?

I wouldn't normally ask, but b3ta people get excited about things like this.

Mazda. I like their light bulbs so I got the car.

In answer to your original question though.
No idea.

Neither have I
I had a digital radio in the mile muncher, and I've got one in the dog wagon but I don't feel inclined to put one in this because it won't fit in the dash.

Why not plug your mp3 player in to the radio and see what happens?

I haven't got one
I have a teak coated radiogram with sliding doors.

Nice. Bet it would be worth a few quid now.

I sold it to the gaffer of a local boozer because it could play 78's.
I think I got a couple of pints off it...
