I've got an iPod adaptor but wanna use a regular MP3 player - help?

My new Accord has had an adaptor installed so an iPod can be plugged into the stereo. Alas I don't have an iPod but use my Blackberry for my music which has a regular jack plug as an output.

I've tried searching the internet with no luck. Does anyone know of an adaptor that would allow me to plug my Blackberry using it's jack plug into the adaptor for the iPod?

If you're handy with a soldering iron you can get an iPod extension cable (male to female) off eBay for a couple of quid, chop off the end you don't need and fit a jack that'll fit your phone (pinouts are available all over the 'net). I did a similar thing to use an iPod dock as a computer speaker. Of course you don't get any track skipping FFW/REV functionality, but it is cheap and cheerful.

Check if this is it.

Depending on the adapter you have fitted - there may be a 3.5mm aux port on it. IF it is Honda's own then you'll need the cable in the link.

Thanks guys. Alas the ones in the link aren't what I need. I need the opposite of that plug for the ipod. The lead in my car has on the end of it that same plug, designed to fit into the bottom of an iPod. I need something that will plug into that (it's gonna basically be the same as whatever is on the bottom of an iPod) with a 3.5mm plug on the other end.

Clear as mud eh?

think this is what you are after - couple of options there.

Top man! B) Thanks mate, that is what I'm after.

Essentially a lead that would enable me to plug a device with a 3.5mm output into an ipod docking station. Think you've found it!

No worries fella

Just so you guys know....I bought one of these leads but it didn't work. Guess I'm gonna have to get an iPod now!
