How to listen through car stereo

i go to connect my iphone 4 to car stereo via aux plug & it doesnt work
how can i listen to my music on my iphone, thru car stereo

I have to assume that the iPhone played your music before using the same aux plug and cable?
1) Make sure the plug is well seated into the jack hole.
2) Check your cable, they sometimes get an internal wire broken. I had a cable that I had to jiggle the end connector to make it work sporadically. Tried to repair it, but wires too thin and delicate, so I had to buy a new cable. Oh well...

How to listen through vehicle stereo? (Gen. 5)

I used one of these: https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-15313880-10078/51m ZIbT2q-L._SL500_AA300_.jpg with my iPOD Classic, but it has a different connector than the iTouch has. Is there an FM transmitter or something that will work with iPOD Touch Gen 5?

There are FM transmitters that connect to the headphone jack. Here is one, Google for more.

Playing through car stereo

I am having problems playing through car stereo using the cassette deck. Only getting audio out of right side. Have tried two Dyantec with same result. Ipod has sound on both sides through ear buds. Cassette deck is playing regular cassettes just fine. Trying to stay away from fm transmitters.

Do you have the option of an 'aux' in your car stereo? If so, you should only have to purchase an auxiliary cable and plug it into your IPod and 'aux' in the car. It will then play through the speakers. You can also do this with your home stereo if it has the 'aux' option.

Pandora App No Longer Streams Through Car Stereo

Hi,
I have a Alpine iDA-X305 head unit in my car and I used to stream Pandora through my stereo using a plug in connection. I recently did an app update for Pandora and it can no longer stream through my car stereo. A message pops up on my phone and it says that the device is not optimized. I have an iPhone 4 and am running the most up-to-date software.
Anyone have any input on how i can solve this problem?

Most likely the car player is the culprit here. Call their customer support.

Low volume on Ipod Nano when playing through car stereo

I used to own a 4 gig ipod mini, and I'd connect it to my car stereo via a stereo cassette adapter. Well, that little guy crashed after a few years of good hard use, and I bought an Ipod Nano. Only, when I play the Nano through my car stereo, the volume is really low. Is there any way to fix this? I'm thinking maybe the Nano doesn't have the same amplification as the mini, and that's why the volume is low, in which case there's going to be no way to play it through the car stereo. I've tried two different stereo cassette adapters so I know that's not the problem. Anyone have any clarifying thought on this? Please help. David

I use a cassette adapter in the car as well, and also have to adjust the voume on the stereo and the ipod to a higher setting than what I would when listening to a cassette or CD. I've used this adapter with another brand of MP3 player before I got my nano and it was the same as the nano in regards to having to turn up the volume.
In using the adapter in different cars, I've noticed that on some cassette players, I have to swith the auto reverse from say, tape A to tape B in order to get sound out of the adapter. You may want to check the auto reverse settings on your cassette deck, if you haven't already.

Play other apps through car stereo like pandora an aol music

With the increasing number of music apps other than the ipod I'm looking for a way to play those through my car stereo. I have an 06 VW Jetta that has a built in ipod player, when I plug it in it goes directly to the ipod and only plays ipod if I'm in another app switch to another one it always goes back to the ipod. I would like to play pandora or aol music or flycast any of them throuigh the car stereo and I wanted to know if anyone knows a product that can allow me to do that. Or how I can do that now. I have the cassette player through the headphone jack but my car doesn't have a cassette player. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Apple has an accesory that transmits from your phone to any stereo/radio via the FM band...just pick an unused spot on the dial.

TOMTOM through car stereo

Hi All,
I have trauled forums and still dont have an answer. Here is my query. I have an iPhone 4s all is fine, just installed the tomtom app, again great app however I want the nav instructions to speal thorugh my car stereo. (VW GOLF Mk6) now my issue is that TomTom uses bluetooth streaming and in doing so means I cant listen to my iPOD nano plugged into the car dock.
It seems I can only have one or the other.
What I find strange is that siri works through the car system pausing the MIDI music when speaking an instruction or replying with an answer, surely TOMTOM can do the same without using the BT streaming function of the stereo.
I see there is a A2DP blocker app but wont this disable the Tomtom speech thorugh the stereo?!

Do you have the option of an 'aux' in your car stereo? If so, you should only have to purchase an auxiliary cable and plug it into your IPod and 'aux' in the car. It will then play through the speakers. You can also do this with your home stereo if it has the 'aux' option.

IPhone no longer plays through car stereo after OS 4 upgrade.

My wife and I upgraded to OS 4 on 6/21. Both will no longer play or charge through the USB connection to our car stereos. We both have Kenwood decks but different models.
Any ideas?

MacBook Pro Through Car Stereo?

Hi,
I want to run the sound from my MacBook Pro through my Kenwood Excelon car stereo so that I can hear it on the truck speakers.
I'll first try it with a Bluetooth connection. The BT between my iPhones and the stereo works perfectly, but I've never tried the computer. I figure to pair it and go to System Pref's and set output to BT.
If that does not work, the Kenwood will also take a USB connection. Can I do that? If I establish a USB connection, is there a sound out preference that will show in Syst Pref's for USB out?
Thanks.

PS. Here's the full version of what I'm trying to do for those who want more. I've got a small motorhome. It has an entertainment center with speakers connected to the car radio. I want to either stream Netflix or use my Slingbox to watch the video on my MBP screen -- but get better sound by running it through the car radio and the rv sound system.
The RV is older and I cannot hard wire into the entertainment system from the MBP; so, I'm going through the newer radio.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

You can't pair a Nano with the MacBook Pro and more information is needed about the problem you are having with the Beats Pill and your car stereo. Check the car stereo manual and see if it has A2DP compatibility.

Touch refuses to play through car stereo

Hi, I just got a 16gb Touch and love it. Unfortunately it's refusing to play through my car stereo. My car stereo has an auxiliary jack and I have a cable with RCA at one end and ipod connecter at the other end. My wife's Classic and Nano both play fine but the Touch is refusing to play through. Am I missing something?

Look at http://pinouts.ru/Devices/ipod_pinout.shtml and read the description of pin 21.
I suspect the Accessory Indicator/Serial enable causes the problem when there is no charging voltage.
You might want to contact the car adapter manufacturer to see if they have a fix.

Streaming bluetooth through car stereo with uconnect

I have iphone paired and can make calls but sometimes when it streams music through the bluetooth function it skips or plays really fast. Any suggestions?

Thanks Deggie... no biggie, just trying to clean up cords. I recommend this head unit if anyone is looking... I wired it for hands free calling in my car and it works flawlessly. Much better than my BT headset. And the music playback through wired connection is great because I can choose to control it through the stereo, or through the phone.

Thanks

Bluetooth through car stereo

I have been using a Sony XPLOD MX8500 for some time as my car head unit and handsfree kit combined. It has paired successfully with a series of phones, going back to the Nokia N82. Using the Lumia 800, I can pair the phone and use it for both calls and music.However, it appears that I am not getting a true stereo signal over the bluetooth connection. I have tested with several songs that I know to have segments that are either fully left speaker or fully right speaker (an example being the opening sequence of The Invisible Man by Queen) and the sounds remains firmly centre stage.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known problem? If so, is it something that is likely to be fixed or will I have to use a stereo output cable for my tunes?
Kind regards
David

VOLUME THROUGH CAR STEREO

When I first played my 40g ipod HP through my car stereo with a cassette adaptor it sounded great! Now when I do it it won't play loud enough to hear it. Even with the ipod volume and stereo volume cranked. What did I do wrong?
Does it have something to do with volume leveling? I though it might and turned this feature off, with same results!

Try the cassette adaptor in another tape deck, if it works then your car radio cassette is bad or try a portable fm radio with the cassette adaptor in you car. probably the cassette or your car radio is bad...sorry

Playing Zen through car stereo

Hi people
Just wondering, is it possible to play the ZEN Vision:M through a JVC KD-LHX552 car stereo?
I assume I would need an adaptor from the stereo... but would this go directly into the headphone socket on the Zen, or would it fit into the Zen adaptor (the white block used to transfer songs in the first place). I have no idea about this at all, so any help would be greatly appreciated..
Cheers
=]

I was able to play my Zen through the car stereo using an audio cable. I plugged it into the headphone jack of the player and the "Aux Out" jack on the car stereo. You should be able to do it as long as your stereo has an output jack. Hope this helps.
