Iphone and my car stereo

I just bought an iphone 3G and want to know if I can connect my iphone to my car stereo system (08 Nissan Altima Coupe w/factory Bose sound system) so I can listen to my downloaded music. I believe my car is equipped for this but need to know what adaptor to buy. Any one with input would appreciated!

I don't know if the you haver the same radio as my 08 Maxima but if you go to your local Nissan dealer you can get the iPod interface installed. Interface System for iPod® is not available for HYBRID models or models with factory navigation system. Or your radio should have the AUX jack that is in between the "Clock" and the "Scan" button and should say "AUX IN" if you have that then all you need is a 3.5MM wire (3.5mm to 3.5mm cable) example

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.

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...

Using Iphone through car stereo

I just had delivery of a brand new Honda Civic and opted for an upgrade to an Ipod Aux connection so i can play my ipod through the car stereo. As i plugged in my iphone it said that the Iphone was not compataible!
Does anyone here have any advise about what i need to do to get my Iphone to work? is there any software or should i get Honda to change the cable or something?

I just got my iPhone a few days ago and I use a Kensington LiquidAUX. It plugs into your lighter and charges your iPhone and has a aux line that plugs into your cars aux in. Sounds great and I have a 1 hour commute to work on way. So I get a full charge to work, watch vids at lunch and a full charge on the way home. Also it has a wireless remote that attaches to your steering wheel to control play back, I love that part. You can find it on Apple's site but do a search and you can find it cheaper. You will see some reviews that say the plastic cover on the plug comes apart. But I use a Pro Clip holder for my iPhone and the plug clamps into the holder turning into a dock, so my plug can't come apart.

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.

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.

Palm, please fix phone use through car stereos!

I'd been loving using the pre as a hands free device when taking my calls hooked up to the car sound system out of the headphone jack. 1.3.5 broke this, and I was hoping 1.4 would re-engauge it. No dice.
Palm, please-- many of us use this feature (check out precentral and everythingpre). It's also a matter of safety-- in many states (here in California as you well know) it's illegal to use the phone without an earpiece. As many of us use the phone for tunes in the car, fumbling to put on an earpiece and disconnect the audio cord when a call comes in is more dangerous than just pressing a button on an already-connected phone.
We know it wasn't the best quality, with some bounceback to the caller, but it sure was a nice feature and if you're going up against iPhones, my wife's iPhone can still do this just fine.
Please bring it back.

kiltedtim: that is not good news...
I have a Kenwood car stereo that I plug my iphone 4s into via USB. Stereo interface was working great for 9 months. After updating to 6.1.1 it is has become wonky. Main problem is I cannot access playlists through stereo anymore. Rather, I can select them but the stereo then indicates "No Music." So I have to select playlists on the iphone to play from them. I can still select all music or specific artists/albums through stereo interface. Also had some difficulty finding way through podcasts using the stereo interface.

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.

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.

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
