IPOD 30 GB CAR KIT WITH  IRIVER

HI...I have an IRIVER and all the car kit accessories...Including the lighter adpater...Can I use it with my ipod 30gb? It has the k7 and the lighter adpter...WITH HAS THE 1.4 POWER...
Thanks!

Thanks for the fast reply! Does this mean that I can load songs from the eMac running 10.3.9 to the WINDOWS formatted iPod? It seems not-- it sounds like I must first transfer all my music / photos / videos that are in iTunes on the eMac to the IBM Windows PC and THEN copy them to the iPod. Is that correct?
AND I believe the PC only has USB 1.0 - so that will be slow, eh?
BUT I guess I could preload a LOT of stuff onto the iPod from the eMac and then just let my daughter enjoy-- no need for her to connect to the PC, just enjoy the nearly 30 gb of "stuff"--
Thanks for any comments-- I'm told that the iPod WILL RECHARGE via the USB 1.0 port on the PC-- but if it is formatted for MAC will the iPod still recharge? (Trying to avoid a separate iPod recharger as my daughter overseas for 4 months, and the fewer things she has to lose, the better...!)

  • Ipod adaptor for car stereo with cd player not tape

    If my car stereo has just got a front loading cd player does anyone know an adaptor - preferable in apple store - that i can use? The only ones i have seen use the tape player.
    Thanks

    b Various Methods to Connect to a Car Stereo System, or Listen to Your iPod in the Vehicle
    b Best:
    Direct connection via the dock connector or headphone jack of your iPod, to the mini-jack input (or AUX RCA input jacks) of your car stereo. Not many low/moderate-end cars have this feature yet, but it is becoming more popular. Some aftermarket auto stereo units may have this feature.
    There are also some after-market, moderate to fairly expensive direct interfaces, that hook into your existing car stereo to provide a high-quality, direct connection. Most will also power/charge the iPod. Pretty slick, but can be pricey ($80-$300). If money is no object, a clean way to go. Not very portable from car to car – if at all.

    b Better:
    Connect your iPod to a cassette adaptor and play your tunes through your car's cassette player. Some new cars no longer come with a cassette player, so it may not be an option. It will provide even better audio quality if you can run the audio feed out of the dock connector (see the SendStation link below). Can be portable between cars that have a cassette player and also be used in your home cassette system.
    b Good:
    Attach an FM transmitter to your iPod and play the tunes through an unused FM station. Convenient, but wireless FM transmitter signals are susceptible to static and outside interference, and can vary in strength and quality depending on your location. Some noticeable degradation and distortion, depending on the quality of the transmitter, the sensitivity of your ears and the airwave congestion in your area. Highly portable between cars, and may be used in a home system. FM transmitters that need to be plugged into a DC auto jack may not work in a home environment (without some sort of adaptor).
    b Marginal:
    Attach an external speaker system to the iPod and play it in the car. Workable, but not too good - unless you spring for a $300+ Bose (or similar) system. But why? Only if your vehicle has no Stereo system, perhaps.
    b Brave Techno-Geek:
    This site gives some direction on adapting your own car stereo by yourself: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ipodrx8/ . Risky, but it has been successful: Seanski, "silent track" #2, 11:59pm Jul 15, 2005 CDT
    Whichever you choose, power the iPod through your car’s DC power -- either from a power adapter, or as part of the combined audio adaptor. Have a method to secure the iPod to the dash/console/etc. See the reviews for all the various accessories at the iLounge
    You will also get better audio output if the dock connection plug is used, rather than the headphone jack. See this URL for a novel adaptor: https://www.sendstation.com/us/products/pd_lousb.html. Others types are also available via this site.
    I have read positive and negative reviews of each method, and within method there are great variations in performance of different manufacture's systems – and peoples’ opinions of their performance. Some cassette adaptors/FM transmitters work poorly, some better.
    FWIW: I have the iTrip Mini & the Newer Technology RoadTrip!+ FM transmitters, a Belkin cassette adaptor (used both with & w/out the PocketDock) and two vehicles with the BlitzSafe direct interface. Using the same song in the same car, I found that the FM transmitters worked, but not as good as the cassette adapter via the headphone jack. Using the PocketDock on the cassette adapter resulted in a significant audio quality improvement. As expected, the Blitzsafe direct connect was exceptionally better than everything else: less tinny, a more warmer/richer sound, and close to true CD quality.

  • Does playing my ipod on the car stereo with USB hurt the battery of the ipod?

    Just curious if when playing the ipod on the car stereo using the usb plugged into the stereo unit will cause the battery life to shorten since it is seems to be charging the ipod.  Or does the ipod have a regulator that stops the charging once the battery is full? 

    Thank you for the info.  I must have gotten a bad ipod, because I only had it for a month and the battery would drain down overnight even with the wifi and bluetooth off.  I play it on my stereo unit hooked up with the USB.  I didn't think that by doing that it would mess up the battery and cause it to drain quickly in just a month.

  • Car kit with GPS booster AND FM transmitter???

    Does anyone know if there is a car kit that has both a GPS booster and a FM radio transmitter? Our cars don't have auxiliary audio inputs so we wouldn't be able to play itunes through the radio with the Tom Tom car kit. I'd really like a car kit that does everything (ie GPS booster, FM transmitter, handsfree calls, charger).
    Thanks
    Sorry... should have said I'm looking for something to work with iphone4

  • Echo for people I speak to using car kit with Noki...

    Just wondering has anyone experienced this problem before. When I'm on the phone to people using my car kit, they're complaining of hearing their own voice a second later.
    But.. its not happening all the time. I phoned someone yesterday and it was very bad, yet when I called back it was fine.
    Has anyone come across the solution to this?
    Here's the kit model thats installed..
    http://www.bury.com/technologies/GB/hands-free/1/UNI-System8/UNI-CarTalk

    There are a couple of things that can be done, 1/ try removing battery on phone to reset software, 2/ keep the handsfree volume down, 3/ make sure the mic is not near the speaker, 4/ make sure the mic is not near the areial and the cables are not taped together.

  • Car Kit with bluetooth connection for N70 (CK-7W)

    I have been using for years without any trouble.
    All of a sudden I am asked an "authentification code"
    If anyone can help ?

    Hello
    It could be an issue with your software itself, rather than the phone. Do you regularly update your software? If not this may be an idea, you can do this using the Blackberry Desktop Software.
    If you do you may need to look into resetting your software, i'll watch this thread for a reply and will explain how if you like.
    Hope this helps

  • Synchronization of 8330 bluetooth with Audi car kit

    I have been able to synchronize my new 8330 via bluetooth to my Audi car kit with one problem. When an incoming call arrives, the car display shows "phone" but the phone does not ring on the car speaker. A short while later a loud 5 second "buzz" occurs. My previous Motorola phone rang on the car speaker. Do I need to set something in the 8330? The car kit has no settings. Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bubba1805

    Hi.,
    Can I check with you if you have this problem..
    I assume you have paired the iPhone 3GS to the Audi carkit.
    First, play something on the iPod.
    Then go to the Bluetooth settings page where you can see all the paired devices.
    after that, make a connection to the carkit.
    Is there any stuttering or audio breaking you hear from the carkit?
    I have this problem with my iTech BluebandR headset and iSkin Cerulean RX. I only found this problem with iPhone 3GS but it worked fine with 3G.

  • Iphone with Parrot 3200 LS Hands Free Car kit:  photos for contacts?

    Hello,
    Is anyone else using the Parrot 3200 LS hands free car kit with your iphone? I have one, and so for it's been great, but I can't figure out how to get the photos associated with my contacts to transfer to the contacts in the Parrot unit. It synced the contacts no problem, just no photos with them. Has anyone been able to get their photos to come up on the parrot unit? How?
    Thanks,
    Dana

    I have had the 3200 LS for 3 months. I havn't seen the photos transfer. Either my Parrot or my iphone does not work right. They will work showing my address book for two or three days then they will not pair for 3 or 4 weeks. I'm in one of those not pairing periods now. The grey symbol is lit. Under bluetooth it shows that they are paired but they don't work. Anyone got any ideas? I'll try working on the photos the next time it decides to work.

  • Replace MB built-in car kit for 6310 with E50 CR-6...

    In my Mercedes ML I have a car kit compatible with Nokia 6210,6310i and it is connected/managed by Comand navi. Is it possible do replace the car kit with CR-66, using CA-55 cable and to keep all the functionality I have with the old one?
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    It is just a matter of swapping the cradle, you will also need to swap the antenna cable.

  • Next G models compatible with car kits and antenna...

    Help!
    I currently have a CK-7W car kit with a soon to be obsolete 6235 CDMA handset. I am frustrated by the lack of quality handsets available on Telstra's new Next G service. The current 6120 Nokia only has bluetooth connectivity and no patch lead connectivity to external aerial. Has anyone heard if Nokia will be releasing a Next G model that will have a cradle compatible with the CK-7W car kit or any other hard wired car kit/antennae coupler or patch lead compatibility?

    Make/Model: BMW 325I
    Year: 2006
    Carkit  Model info: Latest firmware for the 3-series.
    Details: Will not connect with bluetooth carkit. Both bluetooth and Pre discover each other but does not connect with each other. The Pre shows that its connected with the car but the car does not connect to the phone.
    webOS: 1.4.0
    Included in compatibilty list: Yes
    It connected and paired up fine before the update to webOS 1.4.0, had no issues with 1.3.5.1. The phonebook functionality also worked fine with the previous version of WebOS

  • Cover that will work on touch while using tomtom car kit

    Hi,
    JUst got a Tomtom car kit, and trying to find if there is a cover that will fit the touch while its in the tomtom dock, as don't really want to have to keep taking my cover of every time I want to use the tomtom.
    thanks
    Mark

    Hi illaass,
    I tried the suggestions and they do work for Tom Tom car kit.
    I had to close the car kit application and restart it until it showed as docked but then worked fine in navfree.
    I also disabled wifi on the iPod touch so that it had to use gps
    I have now purchased uk Ireland tomtom application.
    The palm Bluetooth GPS does not appear in the devices list still though.
    Are there any applications that can be bought to support this as car kit is not any good when on foot?
    I do have a USB power pack but that means carrying power pack and car kit with iPod docked in it.

  • Best way to use iPod in the car?

    Is there any consensus on the best way to use your iPod in the car? I have used the Belkin Car Kit with the cassette tape for over a year with my 20GB iPod and I really like it. It keeps my iPod charged and the sound quality is really pretty good I think. Now I have gotten a 30GB video iPod for my wife and want to find out what people feel is the best product for car use before I start buying her any accessories.
    Thanks.

    I concur with T-squared. The Kensington 33185 is simple to use and the sound quality has been excellent. I bought it just last Friday and it has seen me through numerous holiday roadtrips over the past week. It charges and has three presets; I can recommend 89.7 or 106.5 FM when you're in the Philadelphia/Princeton area. :->

  • TomTom car kit audio

    I currently get very good audio quality from connecting the iPhone directly to a cassette adaptor through the car speakers to play iPod content (2001 BMW M3 Harman Kardon system).
    However when I connect the cassette adapter into the line-out of a TOMTOM car kit for music playback (when using sat nav simultaneously), suddenly the audio becomes very distorted, and despite playing around with EQ settings on both the iPod and the car system, cannot manage to obtain decent quality sound.
    Unfortunately my car is not modern enough to have a direct audio input, and so the cassette adapter seems the only option for the moment.
    Would anyone have any kind suggestions to make it possible to secure good quality sound through the car kit please? Would a better quality cassette adapter help for instance? For what it is worth, I think that the car kit is great for docking, positioning, hands-free calling and enhanced GPS performance - and so it would be a real bonus to secure some quality music playback as well.
    Really appreciate your comments, many thanks

    Aaron,
    Thanks for your point about volume limits - I raised that with TomTom:
    "The level of distortion that I get when playing music through the audio lineout of the car kit is exactly the same as when the volume limit for the iPod is set too high when connecting it directly to the car stereo. This is the reason why you must set a balance of about 70% volume on the iPod and the rest of it set by the car audio volume in order to obtain a clean sound overall.
    As soon as you connect the iPod via the car kit lineout, you automatically lose the ability to set volume limits on the iPod, and you can only control the volume using the car system.
    There is a volume limit setting on the iPod (through general settings), but this becomes irrelevant as soon as the car kit becomes involved.
    Therefore the problem does not lie with the car system or the cassette adapter, it lies with the car kit.
    I just wonder why you have to lose the ability to control volume settings on the iPod as soon as you connect to the car kit.
    Can you suggest a solution for this?"
    I received the following replies:
    "I cannot offer you an immediate suitable solution for this challenge. I have sent your question to our 2nd line technical department.
    I hope to have an answer for you as soon as possible, please bear with us while we find a solution for your query."
    And then:
    "Unfortunately, there is no way to adjust the volume settings once connected to the Car Kit. The only option from that point is on the audio device that the Car Kit connects to."
    So it seems there is no solution to our problem - we just have to accept it.
    Please let me know if you think of anything else.
    Cheers
