If the Alpine unit has a CD payer, there's no equivalent gadget. Any good auto stereo shop ought to have a technician who can wire a jack on a pigtail into the unit so that you can plug the Blackberry into it. Becker offers such a service for their stuff -- about $100. Alpine might also offer that service.

This also works with MP3 players and anything with a headphone jack. You may find that you need to adjust the volume controls up more than normal.
Thanks Jeremy5848 for this info!

I actually DO have one of those Sony Discman cassette doolybopper things! I'll give it a try. Also, you say that Becker offers some sort of gadget - where might I go to pursue such an item? A local stereo shop?

Thanks again
