Has anyone had any experience using CCRadio in their car? The Crane website advertises a car interface kit where you can hook up to the car's antenna, and I have an aux audio input to my car stereo so I could listen over the car's speakers. My current car stereo's AM reception stinks, and I like to listen to Boston stations while I drive (I live in New Hampshire). I'm not sure if there would be alot of noise interference from the engine and alternator because of how sensitive the CCRadio is. .. Thanks for any help. |
