An IPOD/MP3 docking system is a wire connection that you can buy from all major retailing outlets like Game and Dion... Makro is also a good place to get hold of one of these IPOD connectors. The docking system is basically a wire with 2 points... One that connects into the cigarette lighter/power outlet in your car and one port that connects into your MP3 player.

To get started all you do is plug in your IPOD/MP3 player, tune your radio to (Example) 88.1 FM and then tune the box on the connection wire to the same frequency... Then select a song and it will play out of your car sound system.

Prices of these docking systems vary between R200 and R400, depending on quality and other factors. It is well worth the money.

Another method is going to a place that does electrical work for cars or your nearest car dealership. They will build one of these docking stations in for you and from that point its simple. Driving has never been this fun!
