Tips & Warnings

• Cassette adapters usually are generic and should work with most MP3 players. Check the owner's manual for your player to make sure you do not need a specific type or brand of cassette adapter.

• Before you play your MP3 player through your car stereo, turn down the volume of the car stereo. If the volume is too loud, you may damage the speakers.

• Make a playlist for your MP3 player or set it to play music continuously before driving. You can lose control of your car if you attempt to operate a player while driving.
