Ipod in car...aux. in or transmitter

The external input is in the back of my car CD player, and would be a big hassle to access for plugging in my iPod. So I'm wondering if I should just get an FM transmitter for it...Is there a quality loss? Are they all the same?
thanks.

I have wireless iTrip.. IS A WASTE!!!, it si better the transmitter that conect to 12v outlet because of the strenght of signal, but the best is to conet direc to AUX on the stereo!!, You may have to do some conections but you will use the best quality of digital music...

  • Ipod in car with kensington fm transmitter

    I've been using this in my car for ages and I love it. It transmits my music to my car stero and charges my ipod..
    My question is this: my iPod charges with a firewire, right? So can I charge my iPhone from the same thing and have it broadcast to my car radio? If not, why not? It seems online all charges are sold for either iPod or iPhone but not both.
    Thanks, Susan

    thanks

  • Ipod keeps pausing when in fm transmitter

    When my ipod is in my car in an fm transmitter it randomly pauses playback. It is securely connected by the dock connector, and this problem never occurs when i'm using headphones. How can i fix it?

    Is there any way that you can connect your iPod Touch to a player with a different dock. See if it pauses playback. If not then the fm transmitter's plug may be faulty.

  • IPod Ready Car Stereo

    Hello,
    I am going on a summer vacation to California via mini van. I want to purchase an ipod ready car stereo so the kids can play all their music and mine on this long road trip. Some have aux input, some usb connection, and others an adapter that you buy along with the stereo. Anyone have one of these that can give me their experience? Thanks.

    Check the link below. They may have an adaptor for your existing factory radio. The advantage of this is that it will likely be cheaper then a brand new head unit and with this, you can have the iPod charge while playing. I installed this recently in my car and I'm very happy with it.

  • 4S problem connecting to car aux input

    Hi there,
    When I connect 4S to car aux with 3.5mm I get a really had hissing/feedback sound. Had no problem with any of the other iphones. I have tried my mates 4S and had same problem so it is not my phone. I have tried alter EQ and soundlevels but made no differnece. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi I have the same problem.
    I think what we want to do is simple but sometime tricky.
    First you have to check your 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male audio extension cable is STEREO type. Not MONO Type.
    STEREO Type will transfer the Left Channel of Ipod sound to left channel of your car stereo, Same as right channel.
    The pulling of jack half way might make the left channel connect with both right and left of the other jack. The sound look ok but you are not getting stereo sound but mono sound.
    There are many possible combination as you did not mentioned your pulling jack of half way is at the Ipod side or Car Stereo side.
    My problem is I got sound like very distant away and soft and floating. But by turning the jack at Ipod clockwise or anticlockwise will make the sound normal (Not pull half way).
    I suspect the female jack in my Ipod is loose due to frequent insert and remove of the male jack or headphone jack.
    Can someone into audio help us on this ?

  • Reliable car Bluetooth with FM transmitter ..

    Hello,
    I am using voice dialing on my Droid X and it works just fine.
    I wanted to buy a good car Bluetooth with FM transmitter and found that Satechi car kit is one of the best. Actually it provides decent quality of sound but it has extremely poor voice recognition feature i.e.. very often it fails to recognize commands and etc and I'm going to return it back.
    Could  someone recommend me one reliable car Bluetooth with FM transmission for my Droid X which has could voice recognition feature?
    Thanks.

    I do not suggect you use a FM reciever for this because I have noticed to much interferance, If you have a inout jack on your unit (RCA or Headphone) I sugest using a Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Stereo Headset (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12253&accessoryId=46299) because the sound qualith is actually stero not anolag mono signal like the FM transmitter... My device automatically connects when I get in car and the device has a built in mic for hands free use.
    But if you perfer a FM Transmitter you can use a Jabra Cruiser In-Car Bluetooth Speakerphone (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=11962&accessoryId=44787) and just allow it to use the speaker on device because sound quality is clearer and lest distortion...  It has a FM Transmitter built in but I really was not impressed with Transmitter quailty, I went through every radio channel hoping to get a better outcome but I had no luck and bought the Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Stereo Unit and been happy since.

    If you cannot get the iPad to respond in any other way, you may need to restore the device.
    Connect the iPad to your PC and launch iTunes. Select the device on the left side and then click on the Restore button in the summary pane of iTunes.
    But Read this about restoring your iPad before you proceed.

  • Ipod / iPhone car charger

    What is the difference (if any) between the iPod & iPhone car charger?
    When I plug my iPod car charger into my iPhone the alert +'This accessory is not made to work with iPhone. Do you want to turn on Airplane Mode?+
    I have not tried to actually connect it to the car charger as yet and would appreciate any ideas or experience of same.

    You can safely ignore that message (and not use Airplane Mode). It just means the accessory is not shielded against cell phone signals (i.e. you may get some static on your car radio).

  • Listening Music through Bluetooth Hadset & Car AUX (8G-iPhone)

    iPhone 8G - Listening to music through Bluetooth/Wireless headset and Car AUX is not working or compatible with the 8G iPhone. According to Apple Tech Specialist, Apple is working on upgrading their software for this function to work with the future generations of iPhone.
    When I hooked my phone to Car AUX or Bluetooth Wireless Headset, the sounds came out from the phone speakers instead. However, hooking up the earpiece directly to the unit, it work fine.
    Very Dissapointing that there's no choice using the unit for music listening, other than get stucked using the wired earpiece.

    If you're plugging the Aux cable from your phone headphone socket to the car stereo, the phone should play through the car speakers once you switch the stereo to Aux. My car doesn't have bluetooth and I use an Aux cable to play music from the iPhone in the car.
    The 3.0 update this summer will add A2DP bluetooth protocol.

  • IPOD 2 Car Adapter question

    I have a Peripheral iPod 2 Car adpater installed in my car that I used with my G4 iPod. It worked great and flawlessly with the G4.
    This week I bought a 16g iPod Touch and, although it works with the adapter, the iTouch stops playing music about every 2nd song. Sometimes re-hitting the play button starts it again and sometimes not. The Touch works without problems on its own so, it must be something with the adapter.
    I've also noticed that the iTouch seems to get quite warm to the touch when plugged into that adapter..
    Can anyone tell me if, in fact, this particular adapter is not fully compatible with the Touch??
    (I have the 1.15 firmware -- not the 2.0)
    Thanks.

  • How do i use ipod in car with aux cable

    Im trying to use my ipod touch 4 in the car with an aux cable and its not working, any suggestions?

    Doesthe car's AUX input work  with oter devices? 
    Do headphones work on the iPod?
    If headphones work then if the car's plug is fully inserted into the iPod, that is all you have to do with the iPod.

  • Ipod to car with AUX port using dock or HP jack is quiet

    hi all,
    ive got an aux connector in my car and connecting it to the ipod headphone port OR using the dock line out gives very quiet sound, i end up having the car hifi very loud.
    id rather not use volume adjust in itunes to raise the file volumes as its fine to use out the car as it is.
    do the car adaptor kits have amplifiers to get round this or am i looking at an expensive way to mount and charge the ipod but still get quiet sound?
    cheers! Ads

    Bozz,
    Are you certain about the volume using the dock connection? I currently have a 3.5 cable going from my headphone jack into the aux in my stereo. I have maxed the volume on my ipod, but I find that the sound is not as good as when I have the volume at 1/2 on my ipod. I don't want to spend the money on a dock connector if I can't get good volume.
