Instruments needed for getting into car in Asia (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ocarinas

'instruments' is the definition.
(ocarina is a kind of instrument)

'needed for getting into car in asia' is the wordplay.
'needed for' indicates a hidden word (the answer is needed to spell part of the clue).
'OCARINAS' can be found hidden inside 'getting into car in asia'.

(Other definitions for ocarinas that I've seen before include "No air sac, strangely, on the wind instruments" , "musical instruments" , "Small wind instruments with egg-shaped bodies" , "MUSICAL INSTRUMENT" , "Can I soar above the musical toys" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
