I was under the impression that the N800 had an FM transmitter (not reciever) so that it could transmit music to the car stereo. I have the N810 so I could be completely wrong.

Anyway, I changed my 6 CD head unit in my Suzuki for a single disc player. BUT I realised that I was not losing anything as it also had the following:
SD card reader
USB port to read MP3's from a jump drive
AUX line level input
Bluetooth communication (phone and A2DP)
CD player
FM radio
AM radio

A 4gb SD card holds about 50 CD's

This cost was $150 and a few $$ for a cable adapter and I fitted it myself.

This is it on Buy.com

I use the direct headphone out to AUX in for best audio quality.

IMHO FM transmitters are poor quality at best and always produce modulation noise in the background.

Note that A2DP is NOT oficially implimented on the N810 (yet). There is some code present that some have got working but I understand that it is a poor implimentation right now and draws a lot of power. See:

BTW, I like this VR3 car stereo because it works with my Bluetooth phone (I hate the distraction of holding a phone while driving).

I have an 8Gb miniSD (Newegg $40is) filled with 100+ CD's and two 16Gb SD's also filled with CD's but of course I have to use an external reader with these. I listen to a lot of music!!!

One thing no-one has said is to use the internal speakers in the car. We took the N810 to the UK recently and used it in the rental (hire) car quite sucessfully. Not much bass but if the car is quiet inside there is enough volume for background music.

One final point, someone talked about degredation of audio when plugged into a car charger. I have also noticed this and try to alternate between playing and charging on long trips.
