i never said it was for a stock radio, its for an after market one with aux inputs. i have one and the sound reproduction is so much better than going through the headset output on your mp3 player. its like listening to a cd in the cd player. i have my entire music collection on my zune over 7 thousand tracks and they sound amazing.

Can you describe the adapter for the Zune a bit more? Is it an actual connector that connects to the bottom of the unit and then plugs into the auxillary port on a stereo? I have Zune now and I use a headphone style jack to connect to the stereo. My Sony radio has the ability to increase the input level on the auxillary port so that you don't the "hiss" sound from having to crank up the volume on the Zune.

Anyone with Hiss noise should look up the Ipac noise reducer. It works great and eliminates the hiss. It is just a little black box inbetween the headphone jack wires. You just plug one end in your front aux jack and the other in your mp3 player. It is that simple. No extra power needed.

but does it change the analog signal back to digital to improve the sound quality and charge your mp3 at the same time through the same cable? see pics in my gallery.

I bought a set from Tirerack too and put them on yesterday. They do have a nice streamlined look. You have to pop open the front cover on the blade in order to slide it on the armhook. Once I figured it out, they went on real easy. They did a nice job smearing the bugs around after a 300 mile highway drive last night. I'll have to wait for some rain to see if they stay down at speed and clear the window. Of course, I try to avoid rain when driving the roadster.

at highway speeds I rarely use the wipers. With rainX, the water flies off the windshield.

i try not to drive my car in the rain and put it away in the winter, so it has never been in the snow or road salt. i just thought the wipers looked really sweet on our cars compared to the other ones.[ good buy too]
