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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • IPhone connectivity to Car Stereo -- POSSIBLE SOLUTION

    I stumbled across a possible solution to the iPhone not working with some car stereos. Granted, I have a cheap name brand stereo ,but it has the full ipod interface built-in. It's a Valor NVG-710W ($999 from frys).
    My iPhone worked in my truck from day one, but after a week, i made some playlist changes, and it quit working. After a trip to the Apple Store, to no avail, I was determined to figure out what happened. Making sure it wasn't the radio itself, I tested my wife's iphone, and it worked. I started tweaking the settings and playlists.
    What I found is this: the car stereo doesn't comprehend "Smart Playlists." Everytime I sync'd a Smart Playlist to the iPhone, the stereo would not connect to iPhone, but if I took the Smart playlist's off, it would connect immediately and start playing thru the stereo.
    Hope this tidbit helps someone out.

    That happens to me occasionally. Have you tried power cycling the iphone? that seems to fix it for me when it happens.

  • How do I play my iphone through my car stereo

    I want to play my Iphone 4S through my car Vauxhall Corsa stereo. There's no socket on the car stereo. Do I need to buy some hardware?

    The aux input works great if you don't need to control the iPod from the radio, I connect it this way routinely and have a separate charger when needed. The OP, however does not have an aux port.
    Using earbuds or headphones is illegal in most states and I know a few that have been ticketed for impaired/reckless driving. Get into an accident wearing them and you could open yourself up to lawsuits because its considered impaired hearing. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. You can't fight the impaired hearing thing, don't even think about it. Claim to be senile and they'll pull your license right there and you will be walking for awhile.
    Drive safe.

  • Charge iphone 3gs using car stereo USB sony xplod

    i am using my car stereo [sony xplod] for playing music via bluetooth, can i recharge my phone using USB in built with stereo, is it safe?

    The iphone and ipod are not the same device.
    Perhaps your car stereo supports ipod and not iphone.  Check with the manufacturer of your car stereo.

  • Playing my iPhone through the car stereo

    I am looking for a new car stereo and the biggest feature I want is to be able to play music off of my iPhone on it. Almost every model I've looked at says it plays wma/mp3/aac. Most of my music files are mp3s, but the last few CDs I ripped in .m4a (Apple loseless). After researching it, I kind of have the impression that m4as are converted to aac, and will be played, but cannot for the life of me find a place that definitively says this. Can anyone help me out?

    Not sure if this info is necessary, but some players connect to the iPhone through the headphone jack, some through USB, and most can do either.

  • 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?

  • Playing Music From Iphone App thru Car Stereo

    I know how to play my itunes songs through my car stero, but is there a way to listen through the car stereo to things like Pandora or Foreign Radio stations that I have downloaded as apps while driving? HELP

    if you use the headphone jack, any audio will be pumped into your car stereo.

  • 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.

  • 8.1 did not fix Bluetooth issue with iPhone 5 and car

    8.1 didn't fix my issue with Bluetooth. I can receive calls and play music thru my Mazda CX-9 but I cannot make outgoing calls. My daughter has same issue with her iPhone 5 in her car so it has to be glitch with Apple yet. Please help. I'm so totally frustrated and I'm not eligible for iPhone 6 until January.

    I found there is another contact group list as part of the Bluetooth sync menu; altering that took care of the issue.
    This is a non-issue.
