IBook to play through car radio?

I want to play music from my iBook through my car radio. like an FM translator or something.
I know you do this with an iPod, but can I do this with an iBook?
Thanks,
Jesse

Something like this should work, as should any FM transmitter which will take your iBook's analog audio output. Another option would be to get a wired casette adapter (if your car stereo supports it), but I reckon it'll look a lot messier than the FM transmitter setup.

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.

Do 4th gen shuffle's play through car's aux port with male-to-male cable?

I have a 4th gen shuffle and male on both ends cable to plug into shuffle and aux port in car. I cannot, however, seem to get it to play any songs. I was able to play a first gen. nano through same aux port, but not the shuffle. Are shuffle's even able to play through car's aux.?

Thanks for the feedback JfromPtbo. I finally figured it out, and the solution was pretty simple. You have to turn the volume ALL the way up on the shuffle (not just a few clicks, but really hold down that volume-up bottom), while it's plugged into the aux port. Then, once you hear the songs, you can adjust the volume through the normal stereo volume controls. Sounds good for a $50 ipod and $5 cable.

Ipod touch playing on car radio

Further to a previous question. Have recently purchased an Ipod touch and have been told it can play through an FM frequency on my car radio which does not have an aux jack. Can anyone tell me how to set the Ipod to do this and which FM frequency

Have you reset the car system?
Did it happen after an iOS update?
Do other iOS devices still play?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

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.

I cannot get my new iPod Classic to play through car dvd with USB.

My car stereo is a Clarion VZ709 in dash dvd player. According to Clarion's website, this iPod is supported and should be playing through the USB connection, but all it does is display on the iPod screen "Ready to Disconnect". My new iPad3 64GB WiFi plays perfectly through the car stereo, and it is not even listed in Clarion's list of supported devices. Any idea why one is recognized and not the other? And how to get the iPod recognized? I listed this under "connecting to a mac" since there was no category for connecting to a car stereo. Thanks!

Do a Hard Reset, while connected to the Clarion, hopefully your iPod is fully charged
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the Red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

Good Luck!

Ipod (2nd gen) Does damage occurs playing through car stero?

I have tried playing ipod shuffle (2nd gen) through car stereo with aux cable. Plays fine for a while then 'blows out'. ipod will then not take a charge and gets very hot. Had ipod replaced twice already. No problems playing first gen through car stereo. Don't want to risk playing with my second replacement. Any suggestions?

As Scott has already noted, AVOID using a connecting cable with plugs that have metal plates at the end of the plug shaft, they may cause shorting to the Shuffle's aluminum case. The same issue of potential shorting does't exist with the 1st Gen Shuffle...
Simple short term solution is to cut a round isolator disc out of thin plastic and insert it on the plug shaft...

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?

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.

Playing iPhone Through Car Stereo

Tragically, the tape deck on my 2000 Ford Mustang pooped out the other day. I had been using a cassette adapter to play my iPhone/iPod for years, and now I'm stuck. I know people who have the adapters that play through the radio, but I live in a big city (Washington, DC) and there's occasional static which I find very annoying.
It's an old car, so I can't connect the iPhone directly to the stereo without spending some serious money on a new stereo. Has anyone had a good experience with a certain iPhone car adapter? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would go with a cheap stereo from BestBuy with an aux jack and use an aux cable.

I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

You need an FM transmitter.

How to play a music on my iPhone through my car radio ??

I want to play a song on my iPhone through my car radio but not via an FM adapter. I don't want to connect anything. If there is an application, I can search for any station on this application and the same station on the radio so It will connect automatically. For example, the station number on the application is ( 100.06 ) so I have to search for the same satation number ( 100.06 ) on the radio to play the songs on my iPhone.
Thanks alot for your time.
Regards,
Omar Bassiouny

You can use Bluetooth devices that are either integrated into the car or purchased separately. This might look something like: iPhone > Bluetooth wireless signal > Bluetooth receiver > wired analog audio plugged into car stereo AUX port.
If you don't have built-in Bluetooth or an AUX port, you will need an FM transmitter, some of which are wireless but do need to connect to the iPhone directly.

ITunes automatically starts playing when iPhone 5 (w iOS 7.0.2) is connected to car radio via an Apple cable

I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.2, regardless it is the most recent update
When I plug my phone into my car radio's USB port (Apple cable, not knock off) iTunes starts to play the very first song in my large iTunes library.
I plug into the USB port to charge it and to connect the phone to radio in order to use hands free audio.
I have tried two or three different cables, it happens with all cables and again all are actual Apple cables.
I do not recall this happening with iOs 6 or at least as much.
With iOs 7 it happens every f***ing time. Extremely annoying and dangerous (I may get so frustrated by this that one day I might just smash the phone or the car radio :-) to the equipment.
I have to unlock my phone, go to iTunes and pause or stop the song/iTunes.
The app does not show as being open, that is why I have to go iTunes itself, the old fashioned way, so to speak.
It sometimes happens when I plug my headset in (also Apple brand, the basic ones that come with the iPad and iPhones) to phone and have tried the two different ones I have. It only seems to happen if my phone is not in use (i.e. I am on a call and switch to the headset it does not happen)
Interestingly this issue with the headphones and iTunes automatically starting happened more with iOS 6 and than with iOS 7. Ironically the opposite is true with the car radio, USB port cable, charging and iPhone — it rarely happened with iOS 6.0 but with iOS 7.0 it always happens.
I cannot seem to find a fix here but I do see I am not the only one with this annoying issue.
Please someone (APPLE!) figure out a fix.
PS I have even considered NOT having any of my music on my phone — none at all — which not only would solve the problem (I would hope!) but be extremely inconvenient and defeating the purpose of only having an iPhone vs an iPhone and an iPod.
PPS - I probably left out something really relevant, like what color is my car , so if I did, please let me know.

I have an iPhone 5 and every time I get into my car, as soon as my iPhone connects to the bluetooth or if I connect the USB cable, the music starts blaring through the car stereo, even if the radio was off. If I am using any of the navigation apps on my phone (google maps, waze, apple maps), and I happen to be lucky enough to have the voice directions working (that's consistently inconsistent), the music will frequently start by itself during navigation, even if I didn't turn the music on. Sometimes the music and navigation voice over will compete with each other at the same time. Sometimes they both go totally silent. Sometimes I'll hear only music. Sometimes only the voice directions. And if make or receive a phone call while the navigation is working, as soon as the phone call ends, the music will always take over again, even if I didn't have the music on prior to. I've checked and re-checked every setting on my phone, in my apps, in my car, and followed all of the suggestions I've found online (note to Apple - there are tons of posts on this topic), and nothing works.
It seems like there should be an easy software fix for this, or at the very least, options to:
prevent the music from starting automatically every time you connect with a cable or bluetooth (insanely annoying)
allow voice directions to temporarily mute music, should one choose to be listenting to music and navigating at the same time
just listen to voice direction - no music!
Better yet, how about just provide options to let the end-user decide when to listen to music.
For a product that is supposed to be "intuitively easly" and/or "just works", this level of dysfunction shouldn't be acceptable. Come on Apple - what are you doing to fix this???

How do i get my ipod touch to play on the car radio

How do I get my Ipad touch to play through the car radio?

You can buy something like this Belkin Cable here, which I use, and plug it into your car's Aux port if it has one. They can also be found in most electronics stores.
If your car doesn't have an Auxillary port, you can buy something like the Griffin iTrip, which allows you to set your iPod to transmit on a specific FM frequency, and you can just tune your car to that station. You can find that anywhere electronics are sold.
