Singing in the Car

How can I set up a mobile singing booth in a friend's car?

I have a friend who likes to sing, and I think it would be a great gift to be able to make her car a mobile singing booth. I previously gave her a small home setup with an amp, an Alesis reverb box (great for reverb and 'space' effects) and a microphone.

I was wondering if a setup could be created for mobile use. I'm thinking something involving a microphone and an FM transmitter, probably something like a Mr. Microphone (do they still exist?), preferrably without feedback, and preferrably with some effects. Something that plays through the car's speakers.

Any suggestions?

Not sure about the actual hardware for the effects and whatnot, but if your friend's car has a tape deck, it shouldn't be too tough to find an adaptor intended for a CD player-to-cassette-deck setup, and hook that to an adaptor that goes into the output of your effects unit (or whatever the last component in the chain is).

However, I'd be real surprised if something like this isn't available out-of-the-box from Japan.

Although it gets lukewarm reviews, something like this (amazon link) might do the trick.
