Connecting zen touch to car stereo (no tape dec

i'd like to play music from my zen touch in my car, but i've a head unit with no tape deck.... is there some accessory/way i can get by without a tape adapter? thanks,
-matt

Most car decks don't have auxillary input with the two holes. The Aux. input is usually combined with the CD Changer option, an adapter is usually needed to convert the CD changer jack to an Aux. Jack.
Most likely if you are trying to do this with a stock deck, it might be impossible, but it doesn't hurt to try take a look and see if there is an Aux input.

    If you have RCA inputs on your stereo, just buy a 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable and connect it that way. If not, buy an FM transmitter, connect it to the headphone jack on your Zen Touch, set it to a channel and then tune into that channel on the stereo's radio.
    Hope that hel

    You can buy it at any RadioShack (in America) and in Canada I would assume FutureShop would have it as well as any local electronics store.

  • Connecting Zen Touch to stereo/amplif

    I was wondewring is there any connection that could connect the Zen Touch with a stereo? on the back of the stereo there is a left and right socket for "Video/MD" . any ideas what type of connectino is needed.

    If you have a Digital Recei'ver, try using Monster cable for MP3 player. You can get this cable at any sears electronic store or any online retailer. Now, if you have a regular receiver, any cable will work. Plug the cable to you player and the other into CD Input of your receiver and BINGO.. I preferred using Monster cable because the sounds are well balance and crisp. Have fun listening to your MP3 Player..

  • 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.

  • Hi. I have an iPhone 4s. The music doesn't play when I connect it to my car stereo. It used to play previously but stopped playing all of a sudden. My phone is getting charged when I cut it to the USB port. Please help with this. The iOS is 6.1.3.

  • Zen Xtra in car w/out tape de

    Is there a way to hook up a Zen Xtra in my car that doesn't have a tape deck? I haven't seen anything on creative's site that does. If there is a way please let me know and include where I can purchase or have this installed.
    Thanks

    i have heard of ppl doin that...what it is basically is that u put a lil plug some where in ur car (most ppl i heard of put it in the glove box)...then u run the connection to ur stereo inputs in the back...problem is not all car stereos have the inputs for it...if u have an aftermarket stereo chances r better but for a factory one...its rare to have it...u can go to any car stereo place and ask if they have the connector and if ur stereo supports it...just be sure not to let them talk u into a $000 system for it...lol....good luck

  • 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 :

  • Connecting Ipod Video to car stereo

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Goodmans GCE 7207i card stereo which has the ability to connect you Ipod and play you music library through the car stereo.
    However, on the box of the stereo, it says it is compatable with the Ipod min and 3rd and 4th generation ipods. But I have a 5th generation video Ipod?
    I am assuming that it says this on the box as when the stereo was manufactured , the Ipod nano / Video was not released.
    My question is, does anyone know if this stereo is likely to be compatable with my ipod video. I am assuming it will be as it has the same connecter and if it was compatable with the Ipod photo then it will probably be compatable with the Ipod video.
    If anyone has had any experience with this then please help me as i am wondering whether to return the Stereo before it is installed.
    Thanks
    steve

    Oh! Sorry, I don't. I'm expressing how it should work. If you plug the AV Component connection into the touch, plug the connectors into the car DVD and the USB into the car power it should work.
    I would try the AV Component connection at home first and when it is working there move it to the car without worrying about the power and then add the power.
    make sense?
    Sorry for giving you false hope.

  • 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!

    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.

    I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I haven't found the answer to my question yet...
    Can I hook the Zen Touch up to my car stereo? I have a new Pioneer radio with pre-outs, and I'm assuming all you need is the radio to do aux-out and have pre-outs...
    Thanks for your reply!

    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?

    The link in my message leads to a great little program that lets you use the Micro with iTunes on a Mac. You can also use XNJB... so the Micro <I>does</I> work with Mac, it is just better optimized for the PC platform.

  • Easy solution for connecting Zen Touch to P

    Hi,
    I'm a Mac user, when I want to connect my Zen Touch to any Mac I used "xnjb" a small freeware (.7Mb) that I could run directly from my USB key; It work great, install nothing on the computer and could upload or download any kind of files between the zen and the computer.
    I try to find a similar solution for PC without success, I even try to install "JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.EXE" on a computer friend; this not the ideal solution because it install something on his computer and even with that installation the window explorer see a USB device but can't read it.
    Is some one have a solution similar to what I used on Mac?
    Cheers,
    Luc

    Hi Mosey,
    I don't want the new firmware because my Zen touch work good with the old one and the Mac software for the Zen are not supporting the new firmware yet,
    Do you have a solution working with the old firmware, even if it's a third party one.
    Cheers,
