p5 HU and portable MP3 player

I have an Iomega hipzip MP3 player and have used it with a cassette adapter in my old car nd now would like to use it in my new P5. However I did not get the cassette deck.

Is there an rca jack or some other way I can use this unit in my P5. I don't have a CD burner and really have no interest in upgrading my computer just to listen to music in my car.

Anybody have a suggestion

thanks in advance

I'd say that there is no way to do it unless you get the over-priced cassette module for the stock unit.

Either upgrade the computer, or the deck. Some decks have inputs on the face that you could easily hook you mp3 player up to

Angry thanks

ARRGHH

thats not what I wanted to hear. I thought maybe that the connection to add the cassette deck or MD might provide an RCA plug or something that I could feed into.

Thanks for the advice and responses though

I'm gonna buy new speaks anyway so I guess I just invest in an mp3 deck and upgrade my computer.

Might be cheaper just to buy the discs I want
