its aout the 400 dollars... here those things are very expensive ...

when you wrote "you might not like about the X5 is the navigation and the way it sorts media or lack there" is that really anoing things or you can live with those things? and what is the quality of the videos on the screen?

the navigation isn't too bad, but it ain't no apple ipod click wheel.. I have to give it to them they were damn smart to patent that idea..

the quality of the video is everything you'd expect from a 2 inch screen.. its small but clear. you can definitely watch videos say if you were on a plane or bus or in the car..\

hmm $400 seems pretty expensive.. I dont think I would of gotten the X5 if I had to pay that much...

I lucked out and found someone selling their 20GB X5L for $250

an FM transmitter will not have the best quality.. If you have a tape deck player in your car, it would be better to get a cassette adapter if you want better audio quality..

The one thing about having a FM transmitter is portability, you will be able to use your mp3 player with any radio, anywhere.. but the quality might not be what you'd want for your car.

I have an FM transmitter to my iPod, and to be honest it is a pain in the ass - sound quality is poor - this is a much cheaper and quality alternative.

It might not look as cool as an FM Transmitter, but then looks aren't everythin - if they were, you would have got yourself an iPod

the best way is, if your player in the car has 2xcinch in-line. I had this type of radio and used the mp3 discman for it. the tape adaptor is such a rubbish if you want to listen to good qualitty music...

of course its not as nice to have a 1/8th inch auxilary input in your car's headunit, but I will stick by my cassette adapter and say that the quality is not bad at all! It's just as good as plugging directly into an aux input.. just not as pretty

I had the adaptor 4 y/ago and it was squeeking and cracking shit, so with the music I was listening some strange noises aswell
the best way, if you want to buy new car audio too, is to have a look for this cinch option
