    Head Unit with line in?

    Basically I'm looking to attatch my mp3 player to my car stereo. At first thought this seems to be the easiest way to do it however I know nothing. I don't really wanna spend a lot as the car hasn't got the best speakers in it anyway.

    Any ideas on units, or better ways to do it?

    The current one I've got doesn't have a tape deck else I'd use on of them. It's a minidisc/cd changer (without the changer). Radio is a nogo since I tried that before and the quality wasn't that good. Don't really wanna get a crapy cheap one either
