80G iPOD connection to a new car dash

I have used a FM modulator before for my iPOD but my new car has an mp3 jack in the dash and I would love to use it. It looks like a headphone connector. Do I purchase a cable to connect the dash stereo to my iPod through the earphone jack on the iPod? If so, what type of a connector? Thanks for the answer(s) in advance.

Normally you would need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable. These can be picked up at a lot of places.

Itunes indicates a 40G ipod when an 80G ipod connected

I just got a new 80G ipod. When connected (after loading iTunes 7, it shows up as a 40G unit and will not update any of my library. I've loaded and reloaded iTunes and tried restoring the Ipod many times. Gone to the Apple store and they hookup and works fine. Any ideas?

Can't connect to our new car kit

Bought a Blue Ant supertooth 3 car kit. All the other phones in the house work with it except the palm 700p verizon. The only thing I can think of is that the palm doesn't ask for the pass key to be entered. It finds the kit, tries to connect then says unable to add to your trusted list.
Just tried it again for the 20th time, now it asks for the passcode but when I enter it it still says can't add to trusted devices??
any ideas?

Hello!
First make sure the car kit is NOT in the trusted list already. In you bluetooth application on the Treo, go into the bluetooth application and then tap on Setup Devices. From there, tap on trusted devices button. If any car kit, including your blue ant, is there, delete them and hit done. Afterwards, soft reset the deice and try to resetup again. This time when you perform the setup via the phone, make sure your searching for "Nearby Devices" and not "Trusted Devices" or "Known Devices" and see how that fairs.
If nogo, then hotsync the phone to backup the content and then hard reset the Treo. Right after the hard reset, try to pair to the bluetooth device again without yet rehotsyncing.
Also make sure you are using the 1.10 software version on the Treo. Go here for additional info on software version and update if needed.

Why doesn't my ipod 7th gen connect to bluetooth in my new car

I have a 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT. I was told that I could play my Ipod nano 7th Gen via Bluetooth. the car picked up my IPod and the IPod detected the car. Seemed pretty simple. But when I tap connect on my Ipod, I get an error on the car display "connection failed". I tried deleting the Ipod and starting over, but still won't connect.
The folks at the Hyundai are blaming it on Apple saying they are restricting the connection due to the last software upgrade. No one seems to be able to give a concrete answer. If someone spends over $25,000 on a new car they should be able to connect a simple Ipod nano.
I hope someone from Apple reads this and provides a solution so I can enjoy my tunes in my new car.

Nobody from Apple will read this.
Go here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html
Or call AppleCare.
There hasn't been a firmware upgrade on the Nano for over a year, which software upgrade is your Hyundai dealer referring to? Also, have you connected the car to any other device?

How do I select which bluetooth speakers to play out of? My iPod connects to both kitchen and living room speakers. My old iPod had a selection icon on the now playing screen, but my new one doesn't.

Hi,
Our setup
A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen
Jimmy
PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

Ipod connected with VW part to my car: right speakers crackles with music

It only crackles/buzzes with music and not in silent gaps and only my right speakers. I have checked and my my PC files play without any noise. My ipod plays fine with headphones and via hifi connect. My ipod connects at the base with the VW radio/cd player. My VW radio /CD plays correctly with radio and with CD so i presume its not my right speaker. All music is from CD sources and none from any downloads. NOte also it is the same whether the car is running or not. SO does anyone know why the right channel/right speaker has a crackle/buzzing when i listen to my ipod in my car. VW have not come with anything. I am new to the ipod. Any one have any ideas please?

Do you get normal stereo sound from your Nano when using headphones? If so then the problem is not with the iPod but with the car's sound system, or more likely the cable connecting the two.

Power cord for connecting to MP3 outlet in a new car

Where can I purchase a cord of some kind that will connect my iPod Nano to the MP3 outlet provided in a new car I'm purchasing? I saw nothing like this in the Accessories listed on apple.com for iPods. Thanks for your help.

Is it just a standard headphone type jack on the front of the unit? If so, just go to Radio Shack and get a 1/8 to 1/8 stereo patch cord. They have expensive ($12) ones up in the front of the store, but if you don't need a lot of length, they have a smaller white one they keep in the back of the store on the racks that I is a foot long I believe and sells for only a few dollars.

My ipod nano doesn't work in my new car using the usb

my ipod nano won't play music in my new car using the usb. It works fine with earphones, and music displays in car but won't play?

And I have one more question, when I connect my iPod,
iTunes turns on automatically and the iPod is seen,
but it's not seen in "My Computer". Is that ok?
Since you have the iPod set at auto sync the ipod would not show in "My Computer" (someone correct me if I am wrong). If you were able to successfully switch it to manual it would show as it would be in disk mode. So I would say that this is ok.
I have done a search for the error -50 you keep getting and can't find anything. At this point I would suggest contacting Apple support to see if they can give you some insight on this error. One thing though...have you tried uninstalling iTunes from your computer completely and then re-installing it to make sure it's not an issue with your current copy of iTunes? Also, have you tried to go through the 5 R's?
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If you have not gone through the 5 R's, please try that first and see if it helps. If not, then try un-installing and then re-installing iTunes. If that does not work, then it would probably be beneficial to call Apple Support.

Ios 4 3gs Now will not play through my usb/ipod connection on car stereo

With new ios4 I cannot get my 3gs to play through my car stereo's ipod connection (usb)anymore. os3.1 or whatever the old os was worked fine. The car stereo controlled the tracks, artists, etc.. Now I plug the phone in and get a message saying it is not optimized to work with the stereo and may be subject to noise and interference, then the only option to click is "dismiss" and will not work. Any ideas? I tried the re sync and still will not work.

The method used to recognize the USB device has a clever bit of code in the firmware to improve the connect time once the initial handshake with the device has been established. So after the update to iOS4, the host device (Car Stereo) still thinks that it is connecting to the un-updated client device (iPhone prior to updating to iOS4) The updated client device (Your iPhone with iOS4), must fool the host device (Your car stereo), into believing that it is an entirely new device. This is done by connecting your iPhone to the stereo head USB port with the iPhone switched off completely. This is achieved by holding down the top power button on the iPhone until the red slide bar comes up and prompts you to shut the iPhone down. Do this and then with the car stereo switched on, plug the iPhone into the USB socket and wait till the iPhone starts of it's own accord. If it does not start, press the top power button on the phone until it starts. This will force the host device (Your car stereo) and the client device (Your iPhone) to re-negotiate the handshake between the devices and get you back to where you will once again be happy.
Now we can all stop beating up both the Car Stereo manufacturers and Apple and focus on being civil gentle folk that enjoy discussions about how clever we all are to be able to use amazing technology to get ourselves over-stressed and irritable.

Connecting ipod nano 7th generation through car stereo usb cord.

When I connect my ipod nano 7th generation to my car stereo through a usb cable, (using a lightning adapter), I am not able to control my music through the ipod, but only through the car stereo system. The car stereo system won't allow me to play my playlist on shuffle mode nor can I control the ipod itself through the device when it's plugged in. I have to unplug it and make new playlist selections. Any solutions?

I am having the same problem with mine. I have a Hyundai Sonota and can pair with my Ipod Nano but cannot connect. I also would appreciate any help. Thanks!!

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.
