Connecting IPod Touch to Car Radio

I have a 2012 Volkwagen Beetle Turbo, and it has an IPod connection in the glove box. When I am connected, my radio will only shuffle all of my 12G songs on my IPod. Is there a way to play/select albums instead of it just shuffling through all the songs?

Read the manual for your car stereo.

Connecting ipod nano to car radio

i have 2 ipods ,one is one of the first ones made,wich i have played on my car radio ,just plug in the cable that charges ,and away,the second is a 3rd gen ipod nano,when i plug this into my car stereo jack it just says you must eject before disconnecting ,then the radio comes on and the ipod is at its normal screen,but cannot play thru car stereo,what can be wrong ?

are you sure you plugged it into the stereo jack??? because the ipod sees no difference in headphones and a car aux stereo jack to a car .... sounds like you are using something that plugs into a car lighter port... what device are you using to connect the ipod to your car?

Connect iPod touch 2G to Reciever using RCA's? It cannot be this difficult?

Hello!
Need to connect iPod touch 2G to my reciever using RCA's?
But +I do not want to use the headphone jack....+ (I heard I will get higher sound quality using the bottom multi-pin connector on the bottom of the touch going to a left and right RCA's) +I have uncompressed (AIFF) files on my iPod touch and want the best sound quality possible.+
I found a couple companies that make these cables with one being the Cables To Go 4-Feet RCA Stereo to Dock Connector Cable for iPod and also the Nyko Stereo Link for iPod, but from reading the reviews on Amazon neither of them will work with the Touch 2g (or the iPhone for that matter).
I am also open to a simple dock of some sort that would provide me RCA outputs. Seems as if Apples universal dock would be great but it seems to have NO RCA outputs on the back of it.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be very very happy!
+I have looked high and low for a solution for this seemingly simple task.+
All I want is a connector that goes from the bottom of the touch to 2 RCA's so I can input this into
my home stereo so I can listen to my ripped CD's in high quality. A dock would also work too! I do not need charging or anything fancy....
(already have try the Tekkeon NavDock for iPod which was cool because I could watch my videos on tv from my touch but i dont need that)
+*just looking for something simple that works with the iPod Touch 2G.*+
*It cannot be this difficult?*
thanks, techo

As I stated above, the docking connector is not a "true" line-out, it does have a volume-tap so the volume control will work. It probably is somewhat cleaner than the headphone out (haven't measured it), but it is not going to be a significant difference as any improvement you get from the connector is severely limited by the DAC in the iPod.
You get no improvement in sound from using the pins on the 30 pin connector versus a 3.5 mm jack. If you buy a Universal Dock it is passing the signal from the 30 pin dock to a 3.5mm female jack, then you use the 3.5mm to RCA. Going directly from the dock connector to RCA will not improve the sound, the 3.5mm connector is not inferior in itself to the RCA connectors.
The A/V kit will get you the ability to watch your videos on your TV and output the stereo signal to your receiver. If you want even better sound for your music, get an Apple TV and use the HDMI cable to transfer the video and sound:

Hey People,
I was jus wondering ,
can i connect ipod touch 3G to other non apple devices via Bluetooth??

bluetooth on the ipod touch only allows for the use of bluetooth stereo headphones and peer-to-peer gaming between two ipod touches (or presumably iphones)

TS3595 Greetings.When T connect ipod touch 4 gen.to computer,picture of an apple comes on but no picture of a connection.So I can't communicate with computer.

When I connect ipod touch(4th gen.) to desk top computer,picture of an apple comes on but no picture of a connection.But computer makes a sound .Thank you.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

White screen when first time connected ipod touch to mac

I followed the instruction on the quick start manual (open itunes,connect ipod touch to my mac,and finish the registration,sync music etc.)Then the screen is still WHITE. I've tried some efforts including reset and recover,but still white screen! Couldn't believe this!
Help me!
PS：The touchpad seems to be ok. When I push the sleep button and slide my finger on the bottom of the screen,such a sound like the screen is locked or unlocked sent out.

uncheck the music in itunes and resync to delete her music from your ipod
then create another account using everything the same except change your email address from a ".com" to ".net"
like me, I have an ipod touch and my mom has a shuffle, she doesn't like using credit cards online
so we use mine for both accounts but with [email protected] as mine and [email protected] as hers
that way we can both use the credit card and on the same pc but with different passwords too

Unexpected "Connect iPod touch to iTunes" screen

I powered off my 2G Touch before flying to Argentina; then powering up again on arrival brought up a new-to-me "Connect iPod touch to iTunes screen", which no amount of button presses would get past.
Luckily there was a PC where we were staying, and with iTunes installed, and with USB, so I was able to get going again, esp. since I'd disabled automatic syncing, though now everything was in Spanish. But,
Q1: does anyone know what this screen really means?, and why it might have come up? [a wifi router was nearby]
Q2: would a hard reset [hold sleep/wake and home buttons for 10 sec] worked to get past this screen?

I have the same problem, getting the 'connect' symbol or icon while travelling. I just got off the phone and an unsatisfying conversation with Apple support. Apparently, this is a "rare?" problem that is caused when there is some kind of software failure on the iPod Touch, and that there is no way to get around it except connecting to iTunes on some pc somewhere, ideally your own PC and iTunes. This happened once before for me but I was home and just plugged it in. The iPod recovered, connected and synced with no error message at all. The rep at Apple support said there is no log or trace that can be retrieved, so the mysterious iPod Touch software failure will remain unknown. He said I could take it in for warranty service, but who knows if they could reproduce the problem. Maybe the new iPhone/iPod Touch software version will run better (or worse). ps, I tried all possible combinations of hard reset on the unit, but nothing else works to recover.

Connecting iPod Touch to bluetooth car stereo

I recently got the Sony MX-BT2700 for my car and am loving being able to play music off my touch wirelessly. My question though is if there is a easier way to connect the touch to the stereo. Right now every time I get in the car I have to go to settings>general>bluetooth and tell it to connect to my stereo even though it's already paired. Is there someway that the iPod can be set to automatically connect to a bluetooth device when one is available? My phone (not an iphone) is able to do this without touching anything as soon as I get in the car. Thanks for the help!

I talked to Blaupunkt support in the states and they say that they are aware of the problem! Now what kind of an answer is that? I agree with you, Blaupunkt should get on this problem and fix it. Blaupunkt catalog actually states that the Ipod interface works with any Blaupunkt head unit with CDC control since 1998+. On the interface box it says 2001+. The simple fact is they should get there "stuff" together and fix it!

Problems with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch with Car Stereos

There are three cars in our family, and every car as a stereo with built-in iPod interfaces. Car 1 has a Pioneer system, Car 2 has a Kenwood, and my car has an Alpine system. I can't hear any audio when I connect an iPod touch or iPhone 3G to the Kenwood and Pioneer systems. They can perform functions on the iPhone/iPod touch, such as change songs, randomize songs, repeat songs, etc, however, there is no audio. 80% of the time the Alpine does the same thing; 10% of the time an error is displayed on the head unit; and 10% the iPod Touch/iPhone works perfectly.
All three systems can operate my iPod Nano correctly without any problems at all. Because the same problem occurs to all the stereos and because the iPod Touch and iPhone are basically the same minus phone capabilities, I am beginning to believe that the problem is with them and not the stereo systems. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how can I fix it if it is fixable?

Which Touch (first or second generation) and which iPhone (2G or 3G)?
And what generation Nano are you testing with.
Your auto systems may not be compatible with the newer generation model iPods/Phones.

Trouble connecting Ipod touch to home stereo.

Hello, I have an Ipod Touch 3rd gen. I currently use it mostly in my car and I use a simple aux 3.5 mm jack from the itouch to my aux input on my car stereo to listen to music. Works great. Now, I have been trying to get my ipod to connect to either of my home stereo receivers without any luck. I have a 3.5mm jack from the itouch going to 2 rca inputs on the back of the stereo. When I try to get it to play, it sometimes will play but it is not loud at all and sounds very distorted. I can sort of hear the music but the vocals are very quiet. This happens on both of my home stereos. I was thinking of getting another cable that goes from the 30 pin connector on the bottom to the 2 rca inputs. Do you think this would be better? Or do I not have something configured right with the itouch? Its just weird that it works fine in my car but not with the home stereo. Thanks for the input.

This may work since it includesd an audio out\http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=72
This may also work since it included :
