Connecting 5G ipod to car's tv stereo

Hi all!
I have a question for you...

There is the spec. for this radio...
http://www.kenwood.it/home.php?page=scheda&section=car&id=10346&QT_version=7.1
Can I see the video on the ipod directly on the KVT-827DVD by using the Apple iPod AV Cable ?
Thanks !!!

Hi ,
i have the Kenwood DDX8027 and it works very nice with the KCA-iP500. You can see the songs, albums, arists, playlists and play, move to next/previous while using the head unit controlls (or even the steering wheel).
I am only having problems displaying video on it (see the topic with title 'Dock + iPod Video Out' for more information).
Cheers
Chris

Device to connect photo ipod to car stereo?

I am looking for a a good device to connect my ipod to my car stereo. I was using a cheap tape connector with wire on my old car but the new one only has a cd player.
I bought a no-name fm transmitter (made in china?) with charging capability on ebay and no matter what station it was set on there was static. Can anyone recommend one you have had success with--I would prefer that it have the capability to charge the ipod too.
Thanks!
Nathan

I have been using the Alpine head unit since February and it has been fantastic up until last Saturday - now it won't "see" the ipod at all. I went back to the car stereo shop where I got it and the guy there said someone else had come in a few days before with exactly the same problem - when you connect the iPod to the head unit it just keeps saying "searching". They connected a different iPod and it worked perfectly so surmised it was an iPod problem not an Alpine problem.
I've tried restoring my iPod but it won't restore (error 1428) but I suspect this has something to do with the new iTunes 7 / gapless playback software change since I only started having problems since then.
Don't know what I am going to do now. The only reason that I bought the Alpine was to play the iPod in the car and now I can't. I'm not game to get another iPod either incase Apple changes their freakin' software again and renders it incompatible. So I'm out of pocket for a head unit and a 30gb iPod.

IPod to car via mini jack

Hi
We hate connecting the iPod via the FM transmitter. So we bought a car stereo with a direct mini plug input on the front, and connected the iPod with a mini plug stereo cable.
All was good for about 2 weeks, but then we started getting sound interference, and now to hear from both speakers you need to fiddle, play around with the cable or hold in in a certain position. This has happened with already 3 different cables we have bought.,
Is this not a good way to connect the iPod to the car? Or is there a better cable out there we havent bought yet?
J

The problem is not the cable, it is the earphone's jack of your iPod i.e. a poor contact between the jack and the plug. You need to replace the jack or go for this cable instead

Best way to connect my iPod to my car stereo?

My iTrip is a joke. What works best when wanting to connect my iPod directly to my car stereo when I must use the CD changer plug-in behind the stereo?

Kind of depends on what kind of stereo you have and
what options it has... is your stereo an aftermarket
stereo? Are you saying that you already have a cd
changer plugged into the aux input on your stereo?
I have an CD changer plug in on the back of my stereo, but there is nothing currently plugged into it. It's a stock radio with only a CD player, not a cassette. I need to plug something into the back of the radio, but I don't know which is the best kind to get. Thanks for the help.

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.

Problems connecting iPod to car & home stereo

Whenever I connect my iPod to my car or home stereo, I can only hear music out of one speaker. Is there a setting I need to adjust from the iPod itself in order to hear my music in stereo mode?
Please help, I'm leaving on tour tomorrow morning!

I'm connecting my iPod from the earphone jack into my home stereo using white & red RCA cables.
I'm also using a car adapter that plugs from the earphone & little flat slot next to it and this to the cigarette lighter.
Neither way am I able to hear my music in stereo.

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.

A cheap way to connect my iPod to my car stereo?

I want to wire my iPod directly into my car stereo. Is there a way to do this without spending hundreds of dollars?

b Various Methods to Connect to a Car Stereo System, or Listen to Your iPod in the Vehicle
There are several ways to connect any iPod (or MP3 player) to a car audio system. There are also many opinions on which works better than others. Here is my synopsis:
b Best Way:
Direct connection via the dock connector or headphone jack to a mini-jack input into your car stereo. Not many low/moderate-end cars have this feature yet, but it is becoming more popular. Some aftermarket auto stereo units have this feature. There are also some after-market, fairly expensive adaptors that hook into your existing car stereo that will provide a direct connection. Pretty slick, but pricey. If money is no object, a clean way to go. See:

http://www.theistore.com/ipod2car.html
http://www.mp3yourcar.com/productdetails.asp?productID=175
b Better:
Connect your iPod to a cassette adaptor and play your tunes through your car's cassette player. In my opinion (via testing in my car using the accessories I have), it has better fidelity than FM transmitters. Some new cars no longer come with a cassette player, so it may not be an option.
b Good:
Attach one of the many FM transmitter devices to your iPod and play the tunes through an unused FM station. Some noticeable degradation and distortion may be heard - depending on the sensitivity of your ears and the airwave congestion in your area.
b Marginal:
Attach an external speaker system to the iPod and play it in the car. Workable, but not too good - unless you spring for a $300+ Bose (or similar) system. But why? Only if your vehicle has no Stereo system, perhaps.
Whichever you choose, power the iPod through a DC adapter running from the car. See the reviews below for choices on all the accessories mentioned above, and more.
See the reviews of various accessories at the iPodLounge here:
http://www.ipodlounge.com/index.php/reviews/review_grades/
I have read both positive and negative reviews of each method, and within method, there are great variations in performance of different manufacture's systems and peoples opinions of their performance. Some cassette adaptors work poorly, some better. I got lucky with my choices and have not had any big problems, yet...
BTW - I have a Belkin cassette adaptor and an iTrip Mini FM transmitter (as well as a Newer Technology RoadTrip!+). Using the same song in the same car, I found that the cassette adaptor worked significantly better for me than the FM transmitters.

Try restoring the ipod first.

If this does not work, it is not a software issue, but a hardware issue.
Set the ipod up for service using this website.

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
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Auxiliary-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B002 AR5XIK
Then, play your iPod through the car's speakers.

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

No, but it will not work. The iPod does not have an amplifier in it that is powerful enough to drive the speakers in your car.
So, do you have a stereo in the car, either factory fitted or one you have had fitted after it came out of the factory? If you do, check to see if the car's stereo either has a dedicated input for an iPod or an auxilary (aux input) socket.
Some modern cars (for example, my 2006 model Mazda 3) have stereos that can be fitted with iPod connectors. I paid to have one fitted to my Mazda's factory-fitted stereo. So now, I connect my iPod to the car's stereo via a dock connector and I have limited control of the iPod from the car's steering wheel. Some cars have more sophisticted control than mine does.
Alternatively, if the car's stereo has an Aux input socket, you only need to buy a headphone-to-headphone lead and connect from the iPod's headphone socket to the Aux input.
If you don't have either of those options, another method is to use a transmitter. These small radio transmitters are connected into the headphone socket of the iPod and then transmit the audio (like radio) so that you can tune your car's radio to the same frequency as the transmitter. You control the iPod as you do when using headphones. The sound quality will porbably not be as good as the dedicated dock connector method, but it's reasonable.

Why does it say that the USB is empty when I try to connect my ipod nano to my car?

I have other devices that will connect to my car without a problem so I know it's not the car... When I plug in my nano it says that it is empty but there are clearly songs on it and I can't find anything for that trouble shooting...

Does the car's manufacturer/stereo say that your particular model and generation iPod is compatible with it? That would be the first place to start.

How can i get manual control of my iPod while it's connected to an in-car accessory?

Hey Guys,
I'm hoping you'll be able to help me!
I have a Pioneer stereo system in my car which has an iPod adapter to which I connect my iPod and thus am able to play my iPod tunes through my car stereo.
Now, while to iPod is plugged into the accessory the iPod's manual function (I.e. I am not able to physically press the buttons on the iPod to change tracks) and the iPod can only be accessed through the cars stereo system.
So, my question to you is this;
Is there any way, any jailbreak, any tweak I can do to the iPod or the car stereo that will allow me to gain manual access over the iPod while plugged into the cars accessory?
Many thanks in advance

Many receivers (like my JVC and Alpine receivers) have a "head mode" or "iPod mode" setting that can be selected for the iPod input. Head mode is receiver control while iPod mode lets you control from the iPod although the volume will still be set by the receiver. Check it out. The Pioneer might do the same thing.
