as your wallpaper, use the following trick if you have space to

icon

will go into the selected icon.

deck to the FM frequency that is on the modulator, which usually
is 88.7 or 89.1. Plug the RCA connectors from the cabe into the
RCA jacks on the modulator. Plug the headphone end of the cable
into the PSP. Turn on the PSP. The PSP's sound goes through your
car's antenna. No wires are required hook it up to your car's
