What would you recommend for best audio quality?
3.5mm -> audio cassette convertor
or
IPod radio attachment

TIA

The better way is to get a line out dock from the dock connector (bypasses iPod headphone amp) to an aux in/line in on the stereo... failing that, the cassette would be the preferred method over the FM transmitter.

I drive a Volvo so not sure how easy it is to hook up my iPod to OEM stereo.

I have a 93' 850GLT, and the options for the OEM deck aren't that encouraging.

There -are- aftermarket or DIY options, but they're either expensive or very rare/hard to find. I found my aux in kit for my OEM deck through a Volvo enthusiast board... but I'll be damned if I can remember which/where.

I think I will just end up using the cassette option. So the sound quality on cassette is better than radio?
