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).

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.

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...

6210 Navigator, Bluetooth and car stereo

Hi there! I just got myself a Nokia 6210 Navigator, and i want to connect it with my car stereo for bluetooth use. I did so with my SonyEricsson T630 with great success. But when i try now, i follow the exact same steps as before, but it does not work. I do get the setup to finish, but when it tries to connect, it just disconnects after about 0.5 seconds. Ive tried several times, and i have deleted the paired phone and everything, but nothing seems to work. I can have 3 phones paired, so that should not be the problem.
The car stereo is a Pioneer DEH-P700BT.
Thanks for all help, and feel free to ask if you need some extra info. Thanks!

I have the 6210 Nav, the only way I can get it to connect is by going through the set up, then letting it link to BT Audioo first, once it sees that, I can select a different source and hey presto!
But still not good enough!

IPod and car stereo. Will it keep track of the play count?

I'm currently shopping around for a head unit for my car. I was just hoping someone could tell me whether or not the iPod still keeps track of play count when connected through a USB cable to the car stereo. I'm only wondering because I wasn't sure if this situation is similar to hooking and iPod to an XBOX 360 through the USB cable (which doesn't keep track of play count). If someone could please tell me what models do and don't keep track of play count, I'd really like to know. I'm particularly interested in the Alpine iDA-X305 so if someone could let me know about that one specifically, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my post, and I appreciate any and all help given.

I don't think an car audio device would be smart enough to set up a connection that is like a computer's connection to an iPod. When I use my dumb docking speaker, the play count is kept for the next sync with my Mac.
So do you think it just has to do with the fact that an Xbox 360 is pretty much a computer, therefore the iPod reads the connection as though it was a connection to a computer?

IPhone 3G and Car Stereos

Now that it's out, can anyone tell me if they interface with iPod compatible car stereos like regular and touch iPods do?
Thanks!

There is another really long thread (more than 50 posts) where people were reporting which seemed to work and which did not. In general, none of the old iPod-based players worked. Direct line-in all seemed to work (the ones that go from the headset jack to the aux in on your car stereo). The handful that were designed for iPhone seem to work with iPhone 3G. The same is not true for Touch-compatible ones.

What is the difference between joint stereo and normal stereo?

When I go to the importing options and click custom, it asks if I want it to import in joint stereo or normal stereo. Can someone tell me what the difference is? I want to do whichever one sounds better.

Try Google:

If you can' tell the difference, go with the default.

Iphone 6 plus and car stereo not compatable

FFinally after returning 5s and also 6 plus got another 6 plus to work with my pioneer x910 bt car radio

I'm afraid I don't have an answer, but I am having the exact same problem. I couldn't pair the devices and thought I could fix it by forgetting and reconnecting...but the "forget device" button is grayed out.
I've tried restarting both devices and have toggled bluetooth etc. If I figure something out, I'll post and let you know.

Added second laptop to home network and first laptop connection GONE

Help! I have a WRT54G2 v1.5 wireless-G broadban router set up on my hard-wired computer (XP) and had my new Sony Vaio laptop (Windows 7) connected wirelessly. Everything worked great! Then, yesterday, I added a Dell laptop to the network and my Sony got kicked off the network. I have tried to "add a device" but when I click on the link to do that from Network Magic, I get an error page on the Internet. I saw that someone else had a connection problem so I read the answer posted to their question and clicked on the link and again, get an Internet error. I am connected to the Internet: I checked! What is going on? I need the Dell laptop on the network as it is my new laptop for my job. Help!

Let mw know the model number of router …also tell me the Operating system on laptop.

IPhone 4S and iPhone 5 Running iOS 6.0.1 and A2DP audio streaming on a 2012 Lexus RX350 (Factory Car Stereo)

Hello Everyone,
Before the release of iOS6 and the iPhone 5, I was able to use the A2DP audio streaming on my car no problems and I was really a happy camper, when upgraded my iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5 (Which came already with iOS6) that funtionality did not work any more, I reconnected my iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1.1 and worked like a charm, then I thought my brand new iPhone has bluetooth problem , that same night (Release data iPhone 5 and iOS 6), I update my iPhone 4S and prepare it to give it to my wife, then It occured to me to go and test the phone back on the car but now Running iOS 6 and "viola", the phone did not stream audio via A2DP. So yesterday Apple Release a minor update for iOS (6.0.1) and after reading the release notes (which it did not say anything Bluetooth enhancements) and updating my iPhone, went and try to test again the phone and did not work. (No A2DP audio streaming), Definatelly there is a problem, I called iOS Tech support and open a Case. Here are the screenshots for the iphone and car stereo.
Iphone:
Car Stereo:
Phone (Voice Feature) works fine with the car.
This happens when trying to Connect the phone manually.
If anyone had this problem in the past and solved, please let us know.
Thanks
Rommel J. Jimenez

I had this problem with my iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 6.0 (10A403). I called apple support and was given a fix for my problem. The Apple support rep had me do a reset on my Iphone. The iPhone then worked with streaming music through bluetooth to my Lexus and also now works with the usb tether. I did not have to delete the pairing, but that certainly wont hurt.

Connecting new iPod Touch to stereo or car using 1/8" auxiliary cable

I am having troubles connecting my new iPod Touch to my stereo and car using a 1/8" auxiliary cable. I plugged the cable into the headphone port on the iPod Touch (just as I always do with my iPod nano) and no sound comes out. The headphone port works fine when I have my earbuds plugged in. I have tried two different cables that both worked with other devices (a nano and a XM radio). Am I missing something? Is there a special cable that I should be using?
Appreciate any help that you can give me. Thanks!

I feel really stupid now...I didn't realize the volume had to be ALL the way up! Thanks.

Bluetooth iPhone 4s car stereo very quiet

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me with an audio problem. Sometimes when I connect by iPhone 4s to my car stereo via Bluetooth, the audio is very quiet. Even with my volume turned all the way up on my phone and car stereo. Then other times ill connect them and it'll play normal and very loud. And way to fix this so it's loud all the time?-(when's it's quiet I turn it all the way up and it's still like background noise...)
TIA

I have the same problem with my iPhone 5S in my Subaru. Until someone can offer a fix, I am resorting to using FM, only.

Ios7.0.1 bluetooth connectivty with car stereo not working properly?

I have updated my Iphone to Ios7.0.1 Before this update connection between my Iphone and car stereo was not an issue.
Now the only way to play music through this device is to use the iphone. Select track, volume, Etc the hands free buttons on the sterring wheel do not work. I think you will agree this is not acceptable, convenient , or safe to drive. However the phone call option is working perfectly as before. My vehicle is a 6 month old Jaguar XF I have contacted them and they have inspected my car and have assured me the problem is not with my car audio equipment.
I am a little reticent to do a factory reset on my iphone until all avenues of trouble shooting have been exhausted.
Can anyone help, advise, or even been experiencing the same problem/

I have a similar problem with my XF. I upgraded to 7.0.2 and deleted all my paired devices in the car and on my phone.
I reapired the phone and all seemed fine - I could happily make/receive calls. However the phone will NOT connect to the audio part of the XF and will not play any music or connect via Bluetooth to Audio. I can see the phone and try and connect but I get the message that the Audio connection has failed. The phone continues to work normally through the phone setup.
Previously you could effectively connect a device as a phone and a device as an audio device (or the same device to both phone and audio) but this is no longer possible with IOS7 it seems. My wife and my son also have iphones upgraded to IOS7 and they cannot connect to audio either.
I have tried rebooted, resetting, deleting all settings etc, etc but I am having no luck.
ANy further help greatfully received. My XF is a 63 plate and just over a month old.
