Use iPhone as a speaker phone in the car
Authored by: soltmann on Jul 28, '08 08:24:14AM

Even better, if your car has a cassette player, is to use a cassette adapter. The sound quality is much better and you don't have to fiddle with tuning in the radio.

To use a cassette adapter with the original iPhone you will have to remove approx. 1/8" to 5/32" of the insulation that covers the mini-jack (or buy an inexpensive iPhone headset adapter). I find removing the insulation pretty easy. Just lay the mini-plug on a hard counter. Take a knife edge (anything sharper than a butter knife will do) and place it perpendicular to the mini-jack at the spot you want to cut. Using the knife edge roll the mini-jack back and forth across the table top slowly increasing pressure. Stop when you have penetrated the insulation but before you hit metal. Grab the portion you want to remove with a plier and twist -- the insulation should come off at the score line.
