regular mp3 & radio

I own an 2010 Elantra Touring. It comes with a connection for an ipod to
the radio. Would like to find a way to also use my Creative Zen thru the
radio as well but since the radio has no cassette and I've heard negative
things about fm transmiters I am wondering if there are any other
alternatives. Thanks. Zach

 

No USB port on the Zen?
According to Hyundai, the radio has one.

six-speaker 172-watt audio system with XM® Satellite Radio and iPod®/USB
and auxiliary input jacks. But hey, who's counting.

 

Ok--could very well be operator error here. I'll try things out again.
Thanks for the heads-up.

Most newer cars have an aux in jack.
I don't know if there is a way to get audio out of your Zen thing
though. Seems to me it should have a headphone jack.

 

On my Sonata, the USB port is in the center consol. I can plug in a stick
so the Zen should act the same way.

 

You should be able to use any regular USB Stick with the Radio.
Just copy MP3-files to the stick.

Background: There are two different protocols for transfering data via
USB. MTP and MSC. Your Creative Zen is set to MTP mode. The radio
needs MSC mode. If you can switch the Zen to MSC it'll work fine, but
maybe you won't be able to sync it to your computer with the software
you're using. All USB Sticks are MSC.
