Connecting Nano to in-car CD Radio

You can buy cassette that allows you to connect Nano to it so you can play through the car radio. I am trying to find something that connects Nano to a CD Radio (There is no input socket on the CD Radio) but can't find anything. Any ideas.

Something you should be aware of is that at the moment FM transmitters are illegal on Europe and the UK. Retailers will sell them but not all will tell you, some print a get out that you buy them with the understanding you can only use them on holiday. If you can get a solution using an auxiliary input such as jazzyaw suggests that would be best.
This is the information that Simply iPod include on their site:

Nano for Alpine Car Stereo

I have the Alpine KCA-4201 Interface Adapter For Ipod installed with the proper head unit. Ipods and Ipod mini's seem to work fine, but when I plug in my Nano the head unit reads the song files, and you can tell the song is playing on the head unit, but no sound comes out. This seems to happen ONLY with the Nano. Is there some sort of software update? Or does this Alpine unit not support the Nano? Anyone...??

I've had my nano for over three months now, and I'm beginning to realize that, after meeting a few other nano owners, each nano behaves differently, as if it has its own personality?
I had an iPod interface connected to my car stereo a month ago. My nano has no problems hooking up. When my friend plugs her nano in my car, it needs to be reset, every single time. She did a full restore, using the latest updater, and the same thing happens. To test things, I did a full restore on my nano, using the same updater, and no problems.
So, it appears that no two nanos are created equally...
Hopefully, someone may have an answer.

Nano in a car ?

I just purchased an iPod nano in hopes of using it in my Toyota Highlander's sound system. Toyota is talking about it being compatable with a first, second or third generation Nano. My new box does not list a generation ...guessing the newest models are further along then 1st-3rd generation. Is that right?
How do I use the nano in my car? Do I have to buy an adaptor? Is this another example of no matter what you buy - you have to buy something else - to use it?
Please help.

My new box does not list a generation ...guessing the newest models are further along then 1st-3rd generation. Is that right?
That is correct. The latest generation out at the moment is the 6th generation for the iPod nano line. You can use this article to verify what generation Nano you have.

Depends on what types on inputs are available. Could range from USB port, AUX port, etc. You can also buy adapters and such that allow you to play the iPod or an empty FM Radio frequency. Perhaps this article can be of more assistance.

Controlling nano in the car

When I connect my nano to my car's usb port, I can't get to the home screen and it begins playing right away. I can play different songs with the car's controls but the nano only shows a connection screen, neither of the buttons do anything when pressed

Nano in your car

What do you need to be able to play your nano thru your car stereo i gather a itrip which i already own does not work thanks in advance for any help

BRILLIANT comment!
I have wondered about that option for a long time and NO ONE seems to know about it. Many CD players for the car have an interface to hook up to an external changer. I have NO idea what kind of plug you need. (Are they standard? Or does every brand have its interface so you can only use, say, a Sony changer with a Sony head unit?)
Is there anyone else out there who is into car stereo that can shed some more light on this? It HAS to be a better option than playing through the stinkin radio or cassette player!!

Use ipod nano in the car

Hi,
I wanna use my ipod nano in the car. I know they have FM transmitter stuffs but I'd prefer not to have any bit of static and radio interference. So I asked my car dealer to install a headphone port in my car as an auxillary port (they said it's an ipod kit). But using with normal cable doesn't let me play around with ipod using the stereo buttons of the car. So I think what I need is a cable that has a dock connector at one end and a headphone port at the other. But it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere. Any thought or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

What is the process for connecting ethernet. Have ethernet cable connected to stereo received for internet radio and Blue Ray. However Network System Preferences indicates ethernet not connected and has red dot to left. Note Airport wireless is working.

What is the process for connecting airport extreme ethernet? I have ethernet cables connected to stereo receiver for internet radio and another to blue ray player. The system preference network indicates "ethernet not connected" with red dot to left of this message. The airport wireless works and has green dot to left of it. The stereo receiver and blue ray player do not respond and give message not connect to internet. Thank you. / cfpirate

It worked for me finally. I took out the DNS numbers in airport admin utility, and restarted the airport express. I do not remember putting the DNS numbers in, I wonder from where the airport express got those numbers.
After restarting, it worked.
Thanks!

3rd Gen Nano-Problems with iPod Clock Radio.

Hey All,
I'm having problems w/new Nano and an Alarm Clock Radio for iPods.
1) When the alarm time is reached, the iPod display lights up like its been triggered, by the alarm clock base, but music doesn't play. The unit then reverts to the beeper.
2) The unit is made by SDI Technologies, the same people that make the iHome models of Alarm Clock radioes. They've told me that Apple needs to come out w/an update/fix.
3) Does that sound right to all of you?
Has anyone heard about a time frame for a revision past 1.0.1?
Thanks, Tom

Thanks GunnerJr,
I had an appt. at my local Apple store yesterday. The guy was helpful but felt that it indeed was a firmware issue that was occurring. He couldn't say when the next update would be rolled out but said they're pretty frequent based on prior Apple products.
Apparently the redesign of the Nano is from the ground up and very thorough. The firmware in the clock radio is probably kind of dated back to some time in '06. Hopefully the software/QA people will get wind of this issue and arite it into a future update. Certainly not the biggest issue they'll deal with but hopefully sooner rather than later.

Connecting IPHONE 5 to car

I just got an IPHONE 5 and need to connect it to my car, but I'm not having any luck......any suggestions will be much appreciated.......
Thanks,

Its your phone that needs to find your car.
Not knowing what car you have its hard to give precise advice, but in most cases, you set the Car's Bluetooth to Pairing Mode, or Discovery Mode.
Then you look for it from the Phone's Bluetooth Menu. In the Phone Go to Settings->Bluetooth->
Turn it On if its not on, and wait for your Car's System name to appear in the list of Bluetooth devices.
When it does tap on it. It will usually ask for a paring Pin code or password which should be provided either on screen in your car's system, or in the manual for it.
Pairing varies between cars, so its best if you refer to your cars manual for specific instructions on how to set it in Pairing mode.

Connecting iphone 4S to car stereo problems

I have a new iPhone 4S and when I connect it to my car stereo via a Monster cable I can hear static. My wife's older iPhone does not have this issue. Her phone plays, just as my old iPhone 3, perfect music. I have checked my connections with the new phone, but I still get background static. Do I need to use a different cable with the new iPhone?

Just read all of the history on the issue. I have already posted feedback to Apple to document the issue. Thanks. I will also try to use a different cable and see if that works.

HT204387 what is the bluetooth pairing default code to connect to bluetooth device (car).

What is the bluetooth pairing code to connect to bluetooth device (car) for iphone 4 w 7.os

first you must put your iphone in the discover mode by going to bluetooth on your phone which places it in discovery mode. Them you must go to your car's bluetooth discovery mode and place it in discovery mode. If the phone sees the car and visa versa, the car will give you a code to place into your phone. Once you put the code into the phone the two will be linked. Make sure that your car has "automatic" link set so that your phone will link every time you turn on the ignition. Refer to your car's manual for more help or go to your dealer, they should be able to help you or even do it for you, but you need to know how to be able to discover and then link bluetooth devices yourself because every bluetooth device uses the same discovery formula especially if you want to use your IOS devices to play music through your system using bluetooth.

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Is there a way to use my iPod Nano to listen to a radio frequency with wireless headphones. It tells me that I have to plug in my headphones to receive the stations and when I do, the wireless headphones don't work!

Is there a way to use my iPod Nano to listen to a radio frequency with wireless headphones. It tells me that I have to plug in my headphones to receive the stations and when I do, the wireless headphones don't work!

No. I'm sorry. But, i think it uses the headphones as an antenna so it has to be plugged in to headphones in order to make it work. but, it burns the battery down so i don't use the radio function that much.
