Depends a lot on your car stereo. If your car stereo has an audio input jack then you can do what Candie did. If your car stereo has a USB connector then it probably also has a media player and you can plug the Booksense in through the USB port. The car stereo should recognize the media on the Booksense and let you play it. I doubt this will be accessible though, although since you'll be in the car, there'll probably be a sighted pilot who could punch up what you want to hear. Another option, assuming you have a cassette deck, is to buy a device that will let you connect the Booksense in through your cassette deck. This looks like a cassette tape with a audio jack hanging off the end. You should be able to buy this through any electronics store.
Note that I've done both options 1 and 3 above. I haven't had a car with a USB port in it yet. -- Christopher [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Candie Stiles [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 11:20 AM To: Karly A. Prinds Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] BookSense in the car When I played my booksense through the car speakers, I used a cable that had a headphone jack on both ends. One end goes into the headphone jack on the book sense, and the other goes into the jack on the car stereo. On Mar 17, 2010, at 11:58 AM, Karly A.
