Boosting volume using new iTrip w/dock connector

I have an old 3G iPod. Using the new iTrip with the dock connector I'm not getting NEARLY enough volume in my car. I know the dock is line level so there's no official way to boost the output volume, but is there some hack that will allow me to do this? My stereo is CRANKED to full folume and I still can't hear a thing if I so much as have my sunroof open. Very disappointing.

Mike,
There's a nifty little program here that boosts the volume of your songs.

You could also do this in iTunes by highlighting all the songs, right click for "get info" and using the volume slider. Be careful with this method as too much may introduce distortion.
I use the program. Much better in my opinion.

  • ITrip w/ dock connector giving constant background hiss/static

    i know there really isn't a forum for 3rd party gear but i thought some of you may able to help me out.
    i am using a 5th gen ipod. for car audio solutions: i started with the griffin roadtrip apparatus.. it was clunky and the sheer weight of the ipod caused a real finicky electrical connection resulting in the thing cutting out every time i hit a bump. so anyway i returned it and got a griffin itrip (with dock connector) and a powerjolt cigarette lighter adapter. the form factor is way better than the roadtrip but the thing has a constant background hiss... is this normal of these?? i mean it is subtle but it definitely doesn't give crystal clear sound... the roadtrip on the other hand did give a much cleaner signal. anyway now i am thinking of returning these two items (the power adapter and the itrip) and getting the new "itrip auto". but before i do this, does anyone know if it broadcasts as clean as the roadtrip or better yet does anyone have a work around for the static problem of my current setup? ideally i want the form factor of the itrip and the cleanliness of the roadtrip's signal.
    this is such a pain!

    does anyone have a solution to offer? i have 8 days left to return the itrip!

  • Newbie question - griffin itrip with dock connector

    apologies if I've used the wrong forum (it seemed the most appropriate that would let me post a topic)
    I've just bought a griffin itrip with dock connector for my 20G Iphoto. When I plug it in there is no LED display on the itrip. Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance

    Nathan,
    Then the review(s) that are currently on the Apple Store website are bogus, which is exactly what I was afraid of. Don't people realize that putting fake reviews of products on the internet does nothing to help people, and in fact, does only harm?
    Also have another question. What does everyone use for listening to their iPods in the car? I have an Aiwa receiver that has an auxillary input, but when I use it (in this car, at least), the sound is awful because it is not using the factory-installed powered amp. In my other car, which did not have the amp, the iPod sounded great, but it sounds like crap in the van because it doesn't use the amp. I don't know why and Aiwa was no help, either.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • Can't use new iPod with dock

    I purchased new iPod touch, 5th generation, for my teenagers for Christmas, but they cannot use them with their docks, even after purchasing the Apple lightning connector. How can my kids listen to their new iPods through their docks

    When you say 'Lightning connector' what, exactly did you buy?
    I use a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter to connect my 5thG Touch to a traditional iPod dock.  See picture below.

  • Can I use my iPad's Dock Connector to USB Cable with my iPhone 4?

    I am a newbie with the Iphone from Verizon and I previously own a Ipad.
    Are the cords between the two interchangeable such that I can charge them both with the same cord, at different times of course.
    My question comes down to when I travel do I have to take both cords?

    Yes, they are definitely interchangeable. Haven't even taken the cord out of the iphone box yet but have been using the charger that stays in the wall from my iPad. Way more convenient and I just think of it as having a "spare" charger just in case.

  • 5th generation iPod with 3rd generation dock connector?

    hello,
    I have a 30GB 3rd generation iPod, which is now a totally crammed... so I am planning on buying a new iPod Photo. With my 3rd generation iPod, a dock connector was included in the package. Will this dock connector work with the new iPod Photo, or do I need to buy one of those "Universal Docks"?
    I was looking in Apple Store, but couldn't find an answer there. Does anybody know?
    cheers,

  • IPod Touch 4G Dock Connector

    Is is possible to use the new Touch 4G dock connector with Bose Sounddock Speaker systems? I can't get it to connect to my Bose Sounddock 10 or Portable. The dock connector seems way too tight, I'm not used to having to force any iPod to get it connected. Currently, I can only connect the Touch to things using the USB cable. Is there a trick that I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to have to return this but if I can't use it with my speakers then back to Apple the two of them I bought go.

    Hi, please help me, you seem to be the only solution for my problem in the whole internet... I am having the same issue with my brand new iPod Touch 4th gen. And as you said, I noticed that annoying ¿plastic? in the iPod's connector dock. So, how did you manage to move that piece apart of its place? I'm trying with some sort of needles, but I did not succeed. Once I move it, should I place the iPod in the dock and leave it there all night? It comes to my mind, that if i do this, its probable that then, maybe, the dock will fit with no problems. Please help me, I'm kind of desperate.
    PS: Sorry if my english is a little bit rusty, im from Argentina.

  • IPhone4 Dock Connector Not Showing As Option For Sound Output

    Hey All,
    I'm using an iPhone 4 Dock Connector to output sound (via 3.5 mm cable) to a stereo.  This has been working for over 5 months, but all of a sudden it doesn't show up as an option for output from the AirPlay button.
    I tried a friend's 4S and it worked for him.  I also cleaned out the pin connector area on the iPhone as there was a small amount of lint in there (from being in my pocket), but that didn't fix the problem either.
    Any suggestions would be welcomed.
    Thanks!

  • Does use-new-list-stack CMD +/- work in Grid View?

    With the use-new-list-stack dock setting, does CMD +/- shrink and enlarge icon sizes in Grid View?  From what I can see, it seems to work in List View, but not Grid View.  But I've read reports to the contrary that claim this works even in Snow Leopard.  So, I'm asking. 

    In Lion, Command + and Command - will enlarge/reduce the displayed icons in a Dock folder set to Grid view.
    I could not get the same action in Snow Leopard.

  • How to clean dock connector port on Itouch 3g?

    What is the best way to clean out the dock connector port in the 3rd gen Ipod Touch? Its really dusty in there and I just wanted to clean it out. How could I do this without damaging anything?
    Also, the outside speaker doesnt seem to be that loud, even on full volume. Would cleaning the dock connector port help, or is there anything I can do to make it louder?
    Thanks

    I'd suggest just blowing it out with a can of compressed air if it's just dust and loose debris. Don't blast the connector, particularly not if the iPod is hot; the air stream can be cold which could crack things if it hits a hot surface. If there's contamination, careful cleaning with electrical contact cleaner (available at any electronic supply dealer) and a foam swap should suffice.
    Cleaning the dock connector would have no effect on the volume of the speaker. Whether there's anything else you can do I don't know assuming restarting your iPod doesn't help. But perhaps someone else will have suggestions.
    Regards.

  • That white plastic thing that covers the dock connector

    I just got my iPod mini back from a repair with Apple. It's a different iPod and it works great, but the little piece of white plastic that I used to cover the dock connector doesn't fit this one. Is this a problem? It seems like the connection could easily become dirty if it's not protected.

    No, it's not a problem. Most iPods don't have a cover, just the earlier models.

  • Can dock connector from older iPod be used with new 80GB iPod?

    I just purchased a new 80GB iPod after my old one (scroll wheel, 4 buttons) finally gave up the ghost. I know that I can't sync using the Firewire cable but I'm wondering if the original dock connector will work if connected to the new USB cable. Will I be able to use it just as a charging stand or will it allow me to sync as well?

    The dock will work fine for both charging and syncing with the new USB cable, all the dock does is work as a souped up extension to the dock connector, as well as giving you line out of course. You may have a little trouble fitting your new iPod into the dock.
    Despite being pretty much the same size as my 4th generation 20gb iPod, the dock connector was slightly further towards the front of my new 80gb one, so I couldn't get it in, and the squarer corners on the front didn't help either. At the moment I am using the dock adaptor supplied, balanced on the dock which does the trick, albeit slightly unelegantly. I haven't got around to looking for the 40gb dock cover that came with it, though I'm hoping this will be deep enough to fit in.
    You'll need to use a (very) slim screwdriver or similar to prise the original fitting off the dock, but it can be done without damaging either if you take it slowly and carefully. There are clips of about 1cm in the centre of each side except the back. On the back there are clips of about 4mm either side of the slot that the cable goes into.

  • IPod HiFi - What dock connector do I use for a 80GB (5th Generation) ipod??

    Hi,
    Just got a new shinny ipod HiFi, however what dock connector can I use for an 80GB (5thG) as the connectors only go up to 60GB??? Or does the ipod come with a dock connector? Can anyone point me in the right direction, pretty please.
    Any suggestions would be great help.
    Cheers
    Sian

    You mean the dock adapter, right? The little plastic piece with a slot?
    Use the one for the 60GB.
    The only thing they do is make the iPods it correctly in the dock.
    The dock connector is the slot on the bottom of the iPod.

  • IPod with dock connector is not getting charged with car charger and iTrip

    My iPod from 2003 with dock connector is not getting charged in my car by using the griffin iTrip with USB car charger. iTrip works, but not the charger. Maybe there´s not enough power output from the car charger? Only 5.0V with 400mA are coming out. iPod needs more? 12V with 1.0A?
    Does somebody have information about that problem for me?

    Has Apple dropped support for older model iPods?
    Nope. Support is still there, even back to the original 1G iPod with the wheel that actually turns. I have a 3G iPod, and it syncs just fine. There have not been any software updates for years, but the old software still works fine with the latest iTunes.
    You have to use FireWire, which you seem to be doing.
    Try putting it into Disk Mode first, then connect it.

    Does the iPod currently play music as it should?
    Do you have another docking cable (FireWire) that you can try? FireWire connectors often get worn and they no longer work, although the power connection can continue to work.
    Did you try the other FireWire port in the iMac?
