When we were looking at cars, hubby would alwas check out the stereo system. His favorite was the stereo installed at Mitsubishi Adventures - it can play music from our MP3 players as it had a USB port. He also liked the touch-screen DVD player installed in Nissan Sentras.
Unfortunately, the stereo system in the Accent GL that we got didn't have these features. When we asked Hyundai if we can upgrade our stereo system, the person in charge of accessories explained that the only available upgrade that they had was the Pioneer model which was worth P20,000.00! We just decided to get an adaptor for our car stereo which I remembered cost only P500 at CD-R King.
The good thing was that the Accent's stereo could play MP3 music on CDs. During the first few days, we would burn MP3s on CDs. And the stereo played them - even the ones burned on old CD-RWs! We were happy using just CDs but when we went to Greenhills, hubby thought of getting the USB or MP3 adaptor. While I was in Concorde choosing rubber mats, he went to the CD-R King branch at V-Mall. While he was looking at the MP3 car adaptor (worth a little over P500.00), he realized that all we needed was an aux cable. When I met with him, he showed me the MP3 car adaptor and explained that if we got it, we would get a remote control with the aux cable. We then visited Ace Hardware a floor below CD-R King. We found an aux cable being sold at P60. We decided to get one. We figured that we didn't need an exta remote control as the car stereo already had one.
The next day, we tried using hubby's MP3 player on the car stereo using the aux cable. It worked!
As I went to bed that night, I was just so happy that we didn't get the P20,000-upgrade.
