Default connecting a portable audio/video to your car (possible?)

I'm thinking about getting an RCA Lyra (link included). It comes with audio/video in and out. It comes with A/V cables (the simple red/white/yellow) to be hooked up to a receiver.

Does the stock A4 receiver have a/v outputs? If not, how could I connect this?<ul><li><a href="http://www.rcaaudiovideo.com/Cultures/en-US/ModelDetail.html?PCI=Lyra+Hard+Drive+Players&amp;P roductID=RD2780&amp;PrevPage=ModelList">RCA Lyra</a></li></ul>

Default Blitzsafe makes an adapter that takes RCA (Red and White Cables)

obviously it doesn't take video as the stock headunit is not playing videos anyway.

I've had the Blitzsafe adapter for over 3 years now and it's been great. Since then I added a Denison Auto Kit, because I'm using an iPod with mine, but it should work great for you.

Default would the cassette adapter that comes with this player sound as good?

will there be a noticable difference? as in, will it sound like a cassette tape vs the blitzsafe thing sounding more like cd quality?

Default cassette sounds terrible.... blitzsafe adapter connects to the rear of the headunit

as a 2nd 6 disc cd changer was. In fact that's exactly how it works. Our cars were made to handle the 6 disc in dash and a 6 disc glove box cd changer. The Blitzsafe adapter becomes your "2nd cd changer". The sound quality is great compared to a cassette tape.

I went from using an FM Transmitter to a Cassette Tape Adapter to the "real thing" ... each step up made a difference.

Default I remember the Blitzsafe being in the $90s when I got it, but....

Now Blitzsafe makes an iPod adapter with a dock connection and it sells in the $90s, so it's possbile the Blitzsafe RCA Adapter isn't so expensive anymore...
