IPod connected to car by using a cassette

I have a cassette player in my car.
My old iPod was connected this way and worked just great.
Bought the new iPod (the one with video) and bought a new cassette as the new iPod needed a different connecter for earphones but now I get no sound at all.
Looks like the iPod is playing and the cassette is turning but no sound.

It should normally work, by connect via the iPod's earphone jack (using the minjack)

  • Ipod connected to car iPod ready deck

    I have an iPod that is connected to my car iPod ready stereo. It is connected via an aftermarket product. My question is, is it ok to leave myiPod connected 24x7 in my car? Will it drain the battery faster? Will it damage my ipod?

    It depends. On mine, when the car unit is turned on, the iPod battery receives a charge and does so whilst it's in use. When the car unit is turned off and I leave the iPod connected, it shuts down, so according to the manufacturer of my car head unit, it's ok to leave the iPod connected 27/7. Does yours do the same? You should check with the maker of your car unit.
    However, I don't leave my iPod in the car 24/7 for other reasons, one of which is that I don't want it to be stolen. Also so it's not subject to temperature extremes.

  • Ios 4 3gs Now will not play through my usb/ipod connection on car stereo

    With new ios4 I cannot get my 3gs to play through my car stereo's ipod connection (usb)anymore. os3.1 or whatever the old os was worked fine. The car stereo controlled the tracks, artists, etc.. Now I plug the phone in and get a message saying it is not optimized to work with the stereo and may be subject to noise and interference, then the only option to click is "dismiss" and will not work. Any ideas? I tried the re sync and still will not work.

    The method used to recognize the USB device has a clever bit of code in the firmware to improve the connect time once the initial handshake with the device has been established. So after the update to iOS4, the host device (Car Stereo) still thinks that it is connecting to the un-updated client device (iPhone prior to updating to iOS4) The updated client device (Your iPhone with iOS4), must fool the host device (Your car stereo), into believing that it is an entirely new device. This is done by connecting your iPhone to the stereo head USB port with the iPhone switched off completely. This is achieved by holding down the top power button on the iPhone until the red slide bar comes up and prompts you to shut the iPhone down. Do this and then with the car stereo switched on, plug the iPhone into the USB socket and wait till the iPhone starts of it's own accord. If it does not start, press the top power button on the phone until it starts. This will force the host device (Your car stereo) and the client device (Your iPhone) to re-negotiate the handshake between the devices and get you back to where you will once again be happy.
    Now we can all stop beating up both the Car Stereo manufacturers and Apple and focus on being civil gentle folk that enjoy discussions about how clever we all are to be able to use amazing technology to get ourselves over-stressed and irritable.

  • IPod connection to car not working?!

    My iPod Nano (not sure if it's 4th Gen or not... not sure how to tell sorry) will not work with my car stereo anymore Up to a few days ago we hooked it up to our Honda (has a USB port in the arm rest) and it played through the car stereo. Today we went to use it and it recognizes the iPod, shows the song name on the stereo display but no sound comes out (the volume is up). We tried my nephews iPod and it works with sound, we tried connecting the earbuds to my iPod and there is music... so I'm stuck now because the cord works with another iPod and the headphones work on mine... any suggestions/ideas/help? Am I just not thinking of something? We're travelling so this is important lol
    TIA,
    Sarah

    Hi there, have you guys gotten your problem solved yet?
    If not try to reset your ipod. you can reset it by holding the centre and menu button at the same time until the screen displays an aple logo. try that and see if that fixes your problem.
    oh by the way to tell if your ipod nano is 4th gen it will look like one of these from the following webpage:

    Peace!

  • Bluetooth and iPod connections in car

    I have an Acura TSX, which I did pair with an iPhone at the store with no problems. My question is, how does it work with the auxilary input? Will the car stereo play the iPod, if the iPhone is paired with the car? and will the audio stop when a call comes in as the radio or a CD does?
    thanks!!

  • Ipod classic won't connect to car stereo

    I have a three year old iPod classic - and it no longer will connect to my car stereo - i drive a 2006 volvo xc-70. I plug it in - and it doesn't register or recognize that the iPod is even connected. the ipod stays charged, so i presume that the cable is still connected properly to the stereo - and it works when connected to other devices. is there new firmware or updates that are not compatible?

    Ok, I'm not familiar with the model of head unit you refer to. Maybe it's simply not possible to connect this way.
    Is it at all possible to contact the manufacturer and get there advice.
    As I said, I've never come across a car head unit that connects an iPod via a usb connection. My Kenwood unit has a usb connection and will not recognize an iPod connected in this manner (using the iPod cable). The Kenwood needs the specific iPod multi pin connector.
    Also, simply connecting via usb will probably not supply a charge to the iPod from the head unit.

  • 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.   

  • "Connect to Computer. Use iTunes to Restore" but can't 'see' it in iTunes

    I got the error message on my iPod -- "Connect to Computer. Use iTunes to Restore iPod." Problem is, when I try to connect to my computer, it asks if I want to restore it with iTunes, I say yes, but iTunes doesn't 'see' the iPod, so I can't restore.
    The iPod just sits with "Do not disconnect" on it and the battery icon moving. I'm dead in the water.
    Any ideas?

    You might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

    If that works, then you should be able to attempt a restore.

  • IPod shuffle will not connect to car audio

    my 2015 Lexus audio system recognizes my iPod Nano's (6th &7th generation) without any problems via BT or USB; does the 4th gen iPod shuffle have the capability to play through my car's audio system with it's USB cable?

    Probably not, because the iPod shuffle does not have the "standard" iPod dock connector.  It uses the headphones jack as the connection point for data.  Also, the shuffle is designed to be a more limited device, in terms of its interaction capabilities.
    A better choice for connecting to a car audio system is an inexpensive USB flash drive.  You may already have one.  For example, this one barely sticks out of the USB port
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/SanDisk/SDCZ33016G/
    and has many times the storage capacity of a shuffle.  You can load it with your favorite songs and just leave it connected in the car, instead of constantly connecting and disconnecting an iPod (which causes wear on the iPod).

  • Using ipod nano with car stereo?

    sorry if this is a blonde question, but I have just got a new (to me) car which has a sony gtx cd300 stero in with an ipod connection. Ive bought a new ipod nano, plug it in, nano says "OK to disconnect". stereo display does not seem to recognise. Dont suppose anyone can advise me? Nano works fine on its own. stereo works fine as cd and tuner, just cant get it to work with the ipod? arrgh! Very very grateful for any help or advice. Kind regards Lindsay

    As long as your headset is 3.5 mm jack, you can use it with your ipod. Same goes with an auxilliary cable to your car if it is not bluetooth enabled.

  • Ipod connected with VW part to my car: right speakers crackles with music

    It only crackles/buzzes with music and not in silent gaps and only my right speakers. I have checked and my my PC files play without any noise. My ipod plays fine with headphones and via hifi connect. My ipod connects at the base with the VW radio/cd player. My VW radio /CD plays correctly with radio and with CD so i presume its not my right speaker. All music is from CD sources and none from any downloads. NOte also it is the same whether the car is running or not. SO does anyone know why the right channel/right speaker has a crackle/buzzing when i listen to my ipod in my car. VW have not come with anything. I am new to the ipod. Any one have any ideas please?

    Do you get normal stereo sound from your Nano when using headphones?  If so then the problem is not with the iPod but with the car's sound system, or more likely the cable connecting the two.

  • Connecting my iPod to my Car's 30-pin Dock but Being Able to Control It from Within the iPod?

    I have a 5th Generation iPod nano. I own a 2008 VW Eos which has a 30-pin dock. It functions but, my car's UI for iPod is nefastous. I wanted to know if there was a way to control the music within the iPod.

    Not using the dock connection.  That is for data, and your car audio system is "in charge" of playing the songs.  However, if the car audio system has an auxiliary audio input that is a standard mini-stereo jack (looks like headphones jack), you can connect the iPod there using a commonly available cable, like this

    Then, play your iPod through the car's speakers.

  • Connecting my iPod to my car stereo

    I am trying to find out the best way to connect my iPod to my car stereo. I know that there are lots of different ways. I have heard that if it is connected to a 3.5mm jack on the front of a car stereo and then into the headphone jack on the iPod it makes the sound quality inferior. I have seen USB ports on the front of stereo's and have also seen leads with ipod dock to 2 RCA leads which connect to the rear of the stereo, therefore making a more permanent fix. Which of these is best? I am happy to take the stereo out although i think that maybe it would be easier to buy a stereo with a front USB connector. Will this give good sound reproduction, and if so can i use the white usb lead which comes with iPods??? Please help.

    You can find my car stereos that are ipod compatible.
    Personally, I have an Alpine deck with an additional ipod adaptor which is hidden behind the dash and is accessable via the glovebox. The ipod adaptor is connected to the ipod through the dock connection enabling you to fully contral and access your ipod through the car stero while your ipod remains neatly tucked away (and hidden) in your glovebox. I believe they sell stereo head units that do not require and additional ipod adaptor... do a little research and I'm sure you can find something in your price range.
    Also, to answer your first question, you shouldn't lose any sound qaulity if your car setup is done this way.

  • IPod classic connected to car radio

    I have a new iPod classic and à brand new Renault Megane. When I connect my iPod to my car radio by using a auxiliary cable, I only get sound out of the left speakers. Does someone know how to solve this problem?

    iDjeff wrote:

    Is the cable plugged into the headphone socket of your iPod?
    If it is, and the the sound plays through both left and right when you use headphones, that suggests that there is something wrong with the auxilary cable or where it's plugged into.
    Where does the auxilary cable plug into on the car's stereo?

  • Connecting ipod nano to car radio

    i have 2 ipods ,one is one of the first ones made,wich i have played on my car radio ,just plug in the cable that charges ,and away,the second is a 3rd gen ipod nano,when i plug this into my car stereo jack it just says you must eject before disconnecting ,then the radio comes on and the ipod is at its normal screen,but cannot play thru car stereo,what can be wrong ?

    are you sure you plugged it into the stereo jack??? because the ipod sees no difference in headphones and a car aux stereo jack to a car .... sounds like you are using something that plugs into a car lighter port... what device are you using to connect the ipod to your car?
