Default Connecting MP3 players to Highline stereo/nav

Apologies everyone if this has been asked before but my wife has just dragged me (kicking and screaming) into the 21st century , and bought me an MP3 player for my birthday. Having now accepted this radical new technology I thought it would be extremely sensible to take it with me in the car, instead of carrying a car full of CD's. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a link lead to allow an MP3 player to be plugged into our 75. We have the highline stereo/nav/tv.
Thanks
Andy

Try this Andy it works a treat in mine, I have now put a twin cigarette lighter extension inside the centre tunnel and have them both stored in the centre armrest. As soon as I turn the ignition on they are both being charged. You will need to check whether you Cigarette lighter is a permenant live or ignition fed like mine or you will end up with a flat battery

Now THAT is what I call useful information! Even better than I was hoping for - no wiring to do! Plus as it is an FM transmitter I can use it in either of my cars - brilliant!:lol: :lol: :lol:
