You might want to take a look at this thread.

I fitted a Motorola TK30, though there's various other options. The 'big' issue is integrating into the cars existing audio. There's various ways, but it's definitely not 'plug and play'....

Me too. It works well. The best quality ever - no. The easiest instal ever - yes. Value for money unbeatable.

Plus all the steering controls are usable, which is a major plus to me.

Until I get back from my vacation, I'd like to get a cassette adapter -- anybody know where I can get one from a store? Best Buy, Walmart, etc.?

Thanks. I picked one up at Walmart this morning -- works ok, cost $10. Has an annoying click but it'll be fine for now. Will wait until I get back from vacation before trying to find a better solution.

1998 Jaguar XK8 mp3 / ipod install

The above link tidies up the idea. Using the cassette set up function to stop the eject was great for me as my connector works well on side one, and poorly on side 2...
