This might be a stupid question, but I drive a 2008 TL type S which comes with an aux in and ipod adapter. I dont want to go out and buy an ipod since I have a 16 GB thumb driver and a 1 gig sandisk card. I was wondering if there was an adapter available for any for any of the ports in my car to which I could hook up the thumb driver or sandisk card to listen to music to.
 
I'm no expert here, but I think you need a device that transmits an audio signal (e.g. mp3 player). A plain old flash disk won't cut it unless it has an audio output (then you would basically have a cheap flash mp3 player).

I'd just get a cheap flash mp3 player for ~$30 and a ~$5 3.5mm male to male cable to plug into your auxiliary port from the mp3 player.
 
A male-male 3.5mm cable will work perfectly, it basically turns your car into a giant set of headphones. If you have an RCA aux port you will need a Y adapter, RCA (Red and white plugs) to 3.5mm.
