Thanks

I am assuming your existing stock radio does not already have an AUX connection (3.5mm jack), located on the radio itself or near the handbrake.
If it does have the connection, simply connect the headphone out from your MP3 player to the AUX connection (using a standard audio cable with 3.5mm stereo plugs on each end) and then select AUX on your radio.

The only good thing about an FM Modulator for playing MP3s is that it does not require removal of the radio to get the sound from your MP3 player to come through your car speakers.
It works like a mini FM radio station broadcasting a weak signal to your car radio antenna.

That being said, the downside of an FM Modulator is that the sound quality is poor and you may have reception problems if you drive in areas where there are other radio stations broadcasting on frequencies similar to those used by the FM Modulator. I tried one once briefly and returned it the next day.

If you do not have an AUX connection, I would follow everyone else's recommendation and replace the stock radio with an aftermarket one that includes a connection for your MP3 player.
You won't need to spend too much to find something good and your ears will thank you.
