If you have a tape deck, you can use a tape adaptor (which connects using the headphone jack on the phone). These can be found online or at places like Radio Shack. You can also get an FM transmitter, once again available online etc.

Keep in mind that (depending on the quality of your car stereo), Pandora may sound highly compressed. We've used it several times in our vehicles and the quality just doesn't sound as good as when we use Pandora on our computers or Vudu box. It just sounds like a really bad MP3.

Good Luck!

I use a casette adapter in my car with Pandora. It works great. I just saw Motorola makes a bluetooth car speakerphone/fm transmtter for 99 bucks. Don't know how good it would sound but it would get rid of all the wires.

bluetooth works great sounds great over 3g and you get deck control. I wish it would display track info....maybe future software updates.

How does one even get the music to download to the Droid from the computer?

Many years ago I bought a small battery charged radio transceiver that has a 3.5" male audio adapter. It just plugs into whatever device you have just like headphones would. I used it to listen to books I already had on tape, over a cheap tape player, after I got a car that only had a CD player.

I now use it with my droid and can listen to any media on the droid over the radio speakers. I use it mostly to listen to my downloaded podcasts, but sometimes pandora as well.

It uses a lower bandwidth FM channel and with devices of this type you typically have four to choose from (so you can try to choose one not being used locally to avoid interference).

I bought it from Radio Shack for $25 eight or nine years ago, it runs on AA batteries, for which I just bought rechargeables--which still work great. There are many versions of these now available because of the iPods, but the prices are insane now, presumably because of the increased demand.

If you purchase one, be sure to check the size of the adapter. For the Droid it must 3.5mm (like a tape player) and not 2.5mm as many other phones now use.

It's a brilliant little device, I absolutely love it.

Best,
Hikinthru
