Connecting Nano to home stereo or car stereo receiver

I hooked the Nano up to my home and car receivers via: mini-cable > AV cable.
AUDIO SOUNDS VERY MUFFLED:
• Its definitely not the quality of the mp3's.
• EQ(if you can call it that) is on "off".
• High volume, my home receiver turns off (power overload or something)
• Low volume, low output
Am I doing something wrong?
Do I need to buy a dock adapter to regulate power & output?
Thanks for your responses.

Thanks for your reply.
That is how far I had gotten:
Audio sounds muffled,
even with any EQ or Volume setting on either receivers(home&car) and ipod. I tried all these variables.
I even got monster cables to make sure it had good connection.
Does a ipod dock regulate output?
Does anyone know?
You'll know this by whether you have to use the ipod or the speakers to turn up the volume.
If you can use either volume controls, then it DOESN"T regulate output.
If you can ONLY use the speaker/receiver volume control, then it DOES regulate.
So please try your docks everyone, haha.
Thanks...

Home stereo and car stereo connection

What are the EASISEST and BEST ways of connecting my iPod to both my home stereo and car stereo. I have done a search already and see that a connector with red and white ends will work with the home stereo. However I already have several items plugged into my stereo already. Also it is kind of difficult to reach the audio inputs on the back of my stereo. Can I just use the headphone input to get quality sound? Will this also work on my car stereo (which has an auxillary input)? I have seen that many recommend a dock, but the ones I have looked up are kind of pricy. Is it REALLY necessary? Thanks in advance.

I just got an Fifth gen video iPod , and part of the gift was a plug in the cigarette lighter power adapter to power the iPod and transmit a signal to the car radio on several select frequencies (about eight different RF settings)..
It was a gift...but I hear the transmitter would cost about a $100...
Works quite well...now - if only my car stereo speakers were only as good as the speakers on my gateway PC...(sigh).

Does apple make a product to connect an iphone 4 to a car stereo

Does Apple make a product to connect the Iphone 4 to a car stereo?

I don't think Apple makes anything aside from the usual "aux" cables discussed above, but I've had good luck with a Motorola T505. It's a small device that you clip on your car's visor. It pairs to the iPhone via Bluetooth, then transmits the output to an open FM frequency that you tune in on your car stereo. So you can play music from your phone thru the car stereo, and it automatically pauses when you get an incoming call, you can carry on your phone conversation hands-free, then the music will resume once your call is completed. It's pretty neat.

Connections to Home radio and Car Stereo

Do they have an accesory that would let me listen to my ipod through my car stereo when im driving and my home stereo when i'm at home?...An all in one deal?

Not sure if I understand what you meant, but my iPhone does detect my home wifi. I re-input the password, but it still doesn't connect. I verified the account and password with Comcast, my internet provider, and they confirmed the info is correct.

Ipod Nano 4g not recognised by car stereo system

I have recently purchased a new design Vauxhall Astra. One of the extras available was a USB connection which stated on the original advertising leaflet that it was fully Ipod compatible. Upon getting the car home I was eager to try out my Ipod Nano 4th generation. Initially nothing happened when I plugged it in via the USB socket. I then thought to switch on the auxiliary button, this responded with the message "no auxiliary connected". I then thought maybe I should switch on the Ipod. That was when the real trouble started, everything went dead. That was when I decided I had better check the car handbook. It was only then that I discovered the list of compatible Ipods and guess what every one was listed except for the 4g. I disconnected the Ipod, which although initially only showed the Apple logo, I was able to make it work normally. As for the car stereo system everything works fine except for the auxiliary switch, this still remains dead. The car is going back to the dealership on Wednesday for them to try to find out what is wrong, in the meantime is there anyone out there that can shed any light on this problem.

At last, Vauxhall have come up with the solution. It seems that the fact the original advertising literature not mentioning the 4G was an error as they are all compatible. Apparently to make the system work it is essential to have the engine running before you make the USB connection. If you do not have the engine running the system becomes confused and therefore shuts down completely, which is what happened to me. If this happens then the only way of rectifying it is to return the car to the dealership and have the system completely re-configured. Obviously I mentioned the fact that this was not explained when I collected the car and they admitted that this should be made clearer for future customers

Connection errors with Pioneer AVH P3100DVD Car Stereo after iOS4.1 Update

I just upgraded to iOS 4.1 and now my Pioneer AVH P3100DVD car stereo has a "skipping" problem like a record or CD with a scratch in it when connected to my iPhone 4.
I've tried disconnecting the USB cable, restarting both my iPhone 4 as well as my car stereo - nothing seems to work. Think of it as watching a streaming video having buffering issues, you hear about a half second of audio, then it drops out, then another half second of audio, drop out, etc.
Plugged in my Classic iPod which still works fine so I know it's not the stereo unit or the cable connection. Has to be something caused by the new software upgrade?
Worked flawlessly with my iPhone 4 up until installing the upgrade yesterday and now haven't been able to find a remedy to the problem. It's as if the stereo keeps dropping the connection every half second.
Anyone out there with the same problem and found a remedy?

LOL...I am happy that I am not the only person to have this problem.
Here is my thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2574519&tstart=0
I too have the same problem with the same Stereo. Except...I have had this problem once before on iOS 4.0.1 When I received my phone new from the factory, it had 4.0.1 on it. It had this problem with my 3100DVD radio too. However when I did a restore on my phone, it fixed it up to a point. I could listen to Pandora without any skips. My ipod would only work without skips if I setup the radio to give the IPOD controls.
Ever since I "Upgraded" to 4.1 it skips on my stereo no matter what I do. I haven't had a chance to do a restore yet. When I do one, I hope that it will work again.

Please try your docks and reply, haha.
Thanks for your responses.

Every time you buy Monster cables, an electrical engineer cries. Seriously, don't waste your money on their snake oil.
That said, they ought to work for this application. You shouldn't need a dock; that just gives you the same signal at a more convenient physical location.
The volume level of the ipod should be as high as possible without distorting the signal you hear out of the stereo.
I don't know what to tell you; my nano sounds fine when I play it through my stereo exactly like you're doing it. (Not as good as a CD, but as good as what I hear in my ipod headphones.)

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!!

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.

Car stereo connect to Iphone?

Hello, my car stereo is designed for Ipod, it can be directly plugged into the car stereo system and play whatever songs it contain. Now that I've ordered myself an Iphone I were wondering if anyone here know if it will be possible to plug an Iphone into that stereo? Does it have the same kind of plug? and should by stereo be able to detect the music that is saved on it?
it's this stereo http://www.fusionelectronics.com/en/europe/car-audio-1/headunits-6/cacd500-28-pr oduct.aspx

Hi mlbreid,
If you are having issues with the connection between your iPhone and your car stereo, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful, in particular 1 and 2 (Verify Compatibility and Updates), given the recent iOS update:

Nano and Alpine Car Stereos

Took my Nano to my local independent car stereo installer this afternoon - I wanted to see what options gave me better sound than the FM modulators.
Excuse me if you all already know this, but Alpine's new head units and their iPod adapter work with the Nano - offering total control of your nano from the car stereo face. Song title and artist are displayed on the car stereo screen. And the Alpine iPod adapter even charges the Nano while attached.
I mean, the shop owner asked me for my Nano. He plugged it into the Alpine iPod interface. And within three or four ceconds, there was my first cut off my iPod! The car stereo displayed my iPod's name. And then (if I remember correctly) the song title - then the album name.
I was immediately sold. I chose the Alpine CDA-9851 head unit, plus the iPod adapter. Due to the fact that my Ford's original stereo was "double-DIN" in height, I will "gain" a little felt-lined shelf under this new Alpine - to hold the Nano, of course!
It all gets installed this Saturday! I'll report back after playing with it for a few hours.

There are plenty of options out there, and buying into the "brand name experience" is one of them. The benefits of your choice is that you have full control through the stereo itself (and possibly the steering wheel). Other options are less costly, but require manual control via the iPod.
Have fun!

Ipod audio settings - applying them when used with stereos, car stereos

Hello,
I could not find this specific problem, so I hope I am not reposting.
In itunes, using Volume Adjustment slide-bar (itunes>File>Get Info>Options); adjusts songs to play at the level you desire as well as using the equalizer setting for individual songs too. I can save these adjustments for my PC itunes when my ipod is connected, but is there a way to save the settings on the Ipod itself so these adjustments are used in playback when I use my Ipod on my home stereo or car stereo? Since I have thousands of songs from my cd collection on my Ipod, many are at different recording levels (remasters, old recordings, live songs, etc), I adjust each song individually. I noticed this does not come through when I use my ipod on my stereo. I assume this is because these settings are not saved on the ipod right? Am I just SOL here? Thanks for all your help.

Use the soundcheck feature to level out the volume somewhat.
Apply it in iTunes using the edit/preferences/playback menu (Windows).
Turn it on on the iPod using the settings/soundcheck/on menu.
After applying it in iTunes, sync your iPod to reflect the changes made.
There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
For Windows there is mp3Gain.
