Limiting radio interference when listening to iPhone in the car

I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this semi-problem. I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee LImited - with both a cd and tape player. I used a cassette adapater with my former iPod- worked fine. I recently purchased an iPhone and the Belkin iPhone Headphone Adapter. The adapter works fine and I can listen to the iPod feature on my iPhone. However, every once in a while I will get radio interference in my speakers.
I know I can switch to airplane mode - but that sort of defeats the purpose! Any ideas out there to get ride of the interference? Thanks!

I get this when I listen to Sirius. You can never keep the same empty station on the radio when you travel between as many cities as I do.
There is a device that was made witch basically severs the connection between the radio and the antenna on your car. The device costs about $20-$40 depending on where you get it and sales. If you have Sirius or XM you can just install that device and solve the problem for both the Sat Radio and the Belkin transmitter.
The downside to this is that you will still need to have the satelite radio turned on to stop the antenna connection.
Basically without the full length of the antenna on the car, you can only hear the loudest and clearest stations. This will leave you with hundreds of choices rather than 2 or 3.
I do not know if they make a similar device with a switch rather than relying on the satelite signal, but it could be worth a check.

  • Playing iphone in the car???

    Does anyone know how to play the iphone through your car? My car is a 2006, but it doesn't have an auxiliary jack for playing music. I tried buying an FM modulator, but it doesn't work. I also went to the apple store and was told by a customer service rep that the iphone doesn't work with FM modulators. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    i have the same promblem before,i dont have AUX output in my car. Now i can play my iphone in the car also make a call or recived with one touch botton. what i did is the following:
    1.Buy a fm transmiter with AUX output this item already include a USB charger. you may use this to charge your iphone but your iphone will ask you to turn on the airplane mode just ignore it. all you need anyway,is to charge your iphone.
    2.AUX cable
    3.Headphone jack
    iphone owners, we all know the speaker phone is'nt loud enough specially when you are in the car.i asked my self if can do something!so i came up with something.the earphone that came with the iphone has a microphone.for me to able to play my iphone to make a call or recive a call and ect.in my car. what i did is by modifying the AUX cable.i copied the idea from the earphone that came with iphone.so i went to radio shack get the cheap microphone and soldering iron.
    What i did is the following:
    1.cut the AUX cable in half and peel off the color coded wire.
    2.disassemble the mic and take out the microphone from the holder you dont need this.
    3.start soldering it, whit AUX cable.
    note:
    make sure the color of the wire are the same. white and red goes to the microphone and the ground together.when you finish install the AUX cable with microphne along with your fm transmiter and iphone.make sure the microphone is invisable for no echos.
    good luck and have fun

  • Listen to my iphone on the car

    does any one knows what I can use to listen to my iphone on my car? is there something designed for the iphone already or do I have to use the ipod stuff?

    The Kennsington 33185 is fantastic. It is a FM transmiter that is made for Ipods. When you plug in an Iphone a screen comes up saying it doesn't work but you click cancel and it works like a dream with incredible sound as well as charging your phone. If a call comes in the music mutes and the phone rings. There is enough cord to pick up and answer the call. If you go to radio schack and buy the RF shield device for $6 you won't get any interference when the cell changes. Works great.

  • Listening to iPhone music in car

    Are there any accessories yet that allow you to listen to your iPhone music in the car (or your home) by transmitting through the radio like there are for iPods?

    Sorry to differ with the previous answer, but I have had no luck with the fm converter. The iPhone seems to generate a lot of fm static, and in my area, there are very few open frequencies. One of my cars has a cassette player, and that converter works well. In the other with only a radio and CD, I haven't found a good solution yet. Crutchfield sells conversion kits for the factory radios to put in an auxilliary plug, and also a $200 Alpine fm unit that supposedly works well. It's a leased car, so I don't feel like removing the radio and making changes, and $200 for the bulky alpine unit doesn't sound great either. I'm still looking for a better solution.

  • Itunes giving me a color wheel when clicking on iphone in the side bar.

    so recently ive been trying to back up my iphone. when i connect my iphone using a usb direct connect; i go to click on my iphone in the side panel in itunes and i get the color wheel and eventually i have to force quit itunes. ive tried to back up my iphone over the cloud and that doesnt work either. my computer (mac) recognizes my iphone (ie i can transfer photos through iphoto). I also can't get music to transfer or delete music off of the iphone through itunes. i feel as if the phone and itunes arent communicating. bascially anything i try to do through itunes doesnt work.
    im running itunes 11.1.5 (5) and its 64 bit on a mac 10.8.3, the iphone is an iphone 5 running ios 7.0.4.
    im trying to update due to the security hole in that version but i want to back up before i do it.
    im thinking maybe the driver is corrupt? but then i feel that iphoto wouldnt respond if that was the case.
    Please help! ive tried reinstalling itunes but that didnt work, also i tried doing an indepth deleting of itunes but osx wont let me delete the itunes application. ive looked all over these forums and cannot find any info on this...

    Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.

    Recently my pc crashed and I had to have a new profile built.  Now when syncing my iphone 4s to the computer the sync gets stuck on step 8 and "syncing artwork"  It never finishes syncing...just sits there for hours.  Subsequently most of my music and apps are missing from my iphone because it never finishes syncing.  How do I fix this?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Misspelled email address when login to iPhone for the first time

    Hello everyone,
    I have quite a big issue with my iPhone (I have iPhone 5c).
    When I was creating my apple id for iPhone for the first time (after I purchased it)  I added an unexisting email address by accident (I never had or used that email as a domain I misspelled does not even exist...).
    Now I cannot access my phone at all (I needed to change a SIM card) and when I turned my phone back on, it showed that my phone was assigned for a particular apple id that is impossible to use - as an email (which is also an apple id in that case) and its domain,do not exist ...(it was even impossible to verify password after I accessed iPhone for the first time).
    I did not realized I cannot switch it to the other id to unlock my phone...as to change main apple id I would have to do it through the old one and this is - as I stated above - not possible at all ...
    using iCloud is also impossible for an above reason (cannot log in as I couldn't verify my password for main apple id).
    I have an additional apple id I use for an AppStore (that's how I managed to log in here)
    Does anyone have any idea/advise what are my options now?
    I am unable to use my phone at all because of that
    Thanks in advance!

    If you turned on Find My iPhone turn it off, then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents & Settings.

  • I have Ipod nano 3rd generation that I use to listen to audiobooks in my car.  I turn the ipod off when I get out of the car and when I restart the ipod, it doesn't start where I left off.  Any suggestions

    I recently received an Ipod nano 3rd generation, which I use to listen to audiobook in my car.  Every time I leave the car, I stop the Ipod and take it with me.  When I return to the car and start up the Ipod, it does not pick up where I left off in the book.  Any suggestions?

    It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
    And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.
    However.. it's not Logic related.

  • I have saved my songs on music to I cloud so I can only listen to them in wifi. I want to listen to them in the car how do I change that?

    I Have saved more songs in music app to I cloud which only allows me to listen when I am in wifi. I want to listen to them all in the car. What do I do?

    It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
    I will tell you how I fixed it.
    Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
    The workaround is:
    1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
    2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
    3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
    4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
    5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
    6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
    7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
    8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all.

  • Hello I just bought a car VW scirocco and I can't pair the iPhone with the car as the car says that the phone is not compatible so what can I do ?

    Please I want to know what can I do to pair my iPhone to my VW as the car says that the phone is not compatible and I tried other phones and it worked very good.
    Thanks

    You must change or bluetooth module to a more recent one. It's under the passanger seat.
    I use this one: 5N0 035 730D. It works great on with the iPhone. You can even play musics from the iphone to the radio (on RCD 510 or RNS 510) wirelessly, using BT-Audio.
    I think you can buy it on ebay. It's relatively cheap.
    BTW, is your board computer red or white? If it's red there is no bluetooth module comptible with your car and the iPhone. It must be white.
