Connecting your IPOD to your Car using a Pioneer Radio Adapter

Is there any easier way you can watch your videos on your IPOD using your Radio (Pioneer) Adapter. I had it working 3 times but the problems seems to be after I shut my car off, the adapter or the IPOD will not allow me to go back into the menu. I know I would press the Menu button continuously and the IPOD will take me straight into the menu. This is a cool feature to have because then your Ipod works like a Mini TV output for your car. Anyone has any suggestions!!!?????? Please hit me back up with a response.

I don't think it's really an "issue." Your iPod is fairly old if it does not have a color screen (probably the 4th gen model).

Recent iPods have much better processors and can interact in more ways with the devices they are connected to through the dock connector, like your car's system. It's like a computer... an old computer cannot do many things a newer one can do, no matter what software is installed because there are hardware technology limitations.
Now, if that other iPod you tried was the same model you have (or earlier), and it worked, please post back.
Otherwise, you should refer to the documentation that came with the system, or online info that may be available from the car maker's web site, to read the system requirements for the iPod. If your iPod meets the requirements, please post back.

  • Connecting my iPod to my Car's 30-pin Dock but Being Able to Control It from Within the iPod?

    I have a 5th Generation iPod nano. I own a 2008 VW Eos which has a 30-pin dock. It functions but, my car's UI for iPod is nefastous. I wanted to know if there was a way to control the music within the iPod.

    Not using the dock connection.  That is for data, and your car audio system is "in charge" of playing the songs.  However, if the car audio system has an auxiliary audio input that is a standard mini-stereo jack (looks like headphones jack), you can connect the iPod there using a commonly available cable, like this

    Then, play your iPod through the car's speakers.

  • Connecting my iPod to my car stereo

    I am trying to find out the best way to connect my iPod to my car stereo. I know that there are lots of different ways. I have heard that if it is connected to a 3.5mm jack on the front of a car stereo and then into the headphone jack on the iPod it makes the sound quality inferior. I have seen USB ports on the front of stereo's and have also seen leads with ipod dock to 2 RCA leads which connect to the rear of the stereo, therefore making a more permanent fix. Which of these is best? I am happy to take the stereo out although i think that maybe it would be easier to buy a stereo with a front USB connector. Will this give good sound reproduction, and if so can i use the white usb lead which comes with iPods??? Please help.

    You can find my car stereos that are ipod compatible.
    Personally, I have an Alpine deck with an additional ipod adaptor which is hidden behind the dash and is accessable via the glovebox. The ipod adaptor is connected to the ipod through the dock connection enabling you to fully contral and access your ipod through the car stero while your ipod remains neatly tucked away (and hidden) in your glovebox. I believe they sell stereo head units that do not require and additional ipod adaptor... do a little research and I'm sure you can find something in your price range.
    Also, to answer your first question, you shouldn't lose any sound qaulity if your car setup is done this way.

  • Downloading music from your ipod to your itunes library

    does anyone know if you can download music you have on your ipod to your itunes library

    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

  • Syncing your ipod with your computer that has your iphone already on it

    Can you sync your ipod with your new computer that your iphone is already on if you have had the ipod for a long time and had a different computer at the time

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and transfer iTunes purchases:

    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • Is it possible to import tunes from your IPOD to your Mac?

    I thought I had a good back up copy of my music & I was wrong. I had to restore my MBP to factory so now my music only resides on my Ipod. Is it possible to import it back into my Itunes library from the Ipod?

    I suppose I could cut/paste the whole link since you don't seem to have read it, but the pertinent part of the link starts at this point.
    "Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use
    The first thing you need to do is make sure have configured your iPod to enable disk use. To do this:
    Open iTunes on your old computer.
    Connect your iPod to your old computer and wait for it to appear in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source pane under the Devices section to display your iPod preferences in the main library window.
    Click the Summary tab in the main iTunes window.
    Click the Manually manage music button. Changing from automatic updating to manual puts a check mark by Enable disk use. A message says"
    Continue with the rest of the instructions after this point.
    As a suggestion for future posts, it's always better to start your own topic rather than disrupting someone else's topic. It's more courteous to the original poster, & it can become very confusing to try to troubleshoot with several people in the same thread who may have similar but actually unrelated issues. Thanks!

  • Connect an Ipod to your Car Stereo

    I recently purchased a new car radio that supports mp3 players, meaning it has a usb input.
    Is there a cable that converts the ipod headphone cable to a usb output, or is it not possible to connect the ipod to the radio.
    PS. I tried connecting it with the normal cable from the bottom of the ipod to the stereo and nothing happens, thats why i think it has to be a cable that goes from the headphone to the stereo
    Thanks in advance
    bob

    theb14,
    Since you didn't provide detailed information on which car radio you're talking about, this is an educated guess...
    I bet the USB port on your car radio just attempts to read whatever is connected as a hard drive, then scan for .mp3 files. The first part will work fine with your iPod (read it as a hard drive), but unless you changed the default import method of iTunes, all your imported songs are AAC files, not mp3 files. Odds are your car radio doesn't know how to play AAC files, so it ignores them.
    If you post more details on what exact radio you're trying to connect to, that'd help.

  • I get "Reading Error" when using USB connection from Ipod Touch to car radio. Any ideas?

    Not all do.

  • Connecting another ipod into your itunes

    I have the newest itunes and an 80gb video. My mom has the last itunes and a 20gb colour. She wants to put some of my music on her ipod. I know one of my friends put her ipod into her sister's computer and lost all of her music. Mine isn't backed up so I was wondering if I just plug hers into my computer and add songs or if there's a setting that I have to choose...

    Before you do anything, make certain that you have your iTunes library backed up. It would be no fun to loose everything and not have a backup.
    What your Mom needs to do is get the songs from your iTunes library onto her iTunes library and then update her iPod from her computer. Otherwise, if you plug her iPod into your computer she may lose all of her songs and wind up with a duplicate of what you have on your iPod.
    Do it the safe way. Have her update from her computer.
