Has anyone tried the HCA-60 or something better to listen to music through your car stereo? Is it worth the price ?

How is the sound and how easy is it to change songs, volume, etc ?

I can't wait to stop using my CD changer.

I use an fm transmitter with the hpm-70 to listen to music in the car. It works VERY well. At home I jack into my stereo with the hpm-70. I could go wireless at home by using the fm transmitter, but I think I'll wait for the convenience of the mmr-60:

i use a jack that has dual rca on one end & a "baby-pl" (the male end of an earphone jack) on the other, similar to the ones that come with the Discman (the ones you use to jack in the discman to an amplifier). i plug that in to "line in" of my car stereo. a friend whose car still has a tape player uses a car discman adaptor (like a cassette tape on one end, and a baby pl on the other) for his.

oh, btw, i bought HPM-70 (the headset type that comes with the w800), which makes all this possible for my K750.

yup. if you have an auxillary port/line in on your car stereo, it's a much cheaper alternative than the HCA-60, and you can also then use the car stereo as a handsfree device. If you dont have the aux port/line in, i think any of those fm transmitters that jack into portable mp3 players/discmans/ipods & transmits to your car stereo's fm radio, can do the trick just as well.

they certainly can. That's what I use currently. Waiting on the release of the mmr-60 fast port fm transmitter, but currently using a Belkin jobbie.
