    What is the name of a wire that connects from a car cd player to mobile phone ?
    The CD player in my car is buggered, it doesn't like to play CD's

    This often means that I am forced to listen to horrible music not to my taste and the same old boring news constantly.

    My CD player plays MP3's, what is the name of the wire that I would need to connect my mobile phone into the CD player so that I can play my music?
    how much do they cost and where are they available to buy?

    Just stick that into eBay should cost 99p-£2 that's all you need. Providing you have a port on your head unit. It's aux programme on your head unit.

    Probably could, they're cheap as chips. Amazon sells them for about 70p, so if you can't find one there just search online for 3.5mm stereo jack.

    Just make sure it male to male. Like the connection on headphones yes. On both ends. If not pound land go to wilkinsons or maplin won't be expensive
