Spotted this on ebay. Can it really be as easy as plugging one end into pre out socket and other into Mp3 player?

If the car is fitted with an AUX-in socket yes.

If the radio has changer control capabilities, you would use something along the lines of this:

No probs, Obviously check your headunit for changer controls and socket first and buy a converter that is suitable for your brand.

If you need any help, Post the make and model of your unit and I'll see what I can do. :D
