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

Low volume with kensington fm transmitter

Hi
Purchased a k33185 it is connected to new ipod 30g with video.
The volume is real low you have to turn car radio all the way up to hear the ipod. the volume of the ipod is at 100 percent. if listing to radio or CD player my normal volume level on the radio is about 1/3 on the dial.
To get the same level with the fm transmitter I have to turn the radio all the way up
To get the same normal volume .
Any suggestions

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.

Ipod classic or touch with Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Auto Charger

Hey everyone,
As I am sure with a thousand others, I am thinking about getting one of the new ipods. After reading about the video out problem, which is one of the main reasons I was thinking of upgrading from my 3G(pre video/photo ipod, can't remember which generation) 20 g ipod, I am beginning to doubt my desire. What has become foremost in my mind now, however, is the problem with existing accesories. Does anyone know if either ipods will work with the Kensington fm transmitter/auto charger that I bought last year? I spent $70 on it and after reading about having to buy a universal dock and apple cables to enable video out, this has me concerned.
Thanks,
Greg

greg,
have an ipod classic and have been using the older kensington fm rds adapter (not the new liquid ones recently announced). it works, but with a caveat. on mine, the on-screen display does not update in real-time as you change the radio station on the transmitter. so, it's tough to scroll to a different channel to find an open frequency because you can't see where you are scrolling to (i count the presses and update the numbers in my head). but, the presets work and if you never (or rarely) need to change the radio station, you should be fine.

My older iPod is not recognized by cars with a newer iPod interface

And my new iPod Classic is not recognized by cars with the older interface.
I purchased a new iPod when I realized my new car wouldn't wouldn't recognize my older iPod. Now I find my two older cars won't recognize the new device. Is there an interface cable adapter out there anywhere?

The Jaguar there is nothing you can do, and the new interface from the dealer are not compatible
For the BMW, you have to find out what brand interface was installed in the vehicle
can be dension or original BMW in the x5, if dension you can get something call
Scosche passPORT if BMW brand you can get a new cable from Bmw with the usb and dual power supply,
In the Mini if DIce brand you will need a new cable or new iPod interface, now they have a usb plug to do updates in case iPhone 5 is release in the future or any other updates from iTunes

IPod Shuffle compatible with car audio iPod ready receivers

I was wondering if i purchase an iPod shuffle, would it play with iPod ready car audio receivers like the classic iPods do.

NOT unless specifically mentioned in the documentation/specs of the car audio...
On the other hand, IF the audio system has an "audio-in" you can connect shuffle audio-out with a "patch" cable with a 3.5mm plug on both ends...

I got an Ipod shuffle because I have two cars with USB port for mp3. It doesn't work. Can it ever?

im not shure but if you get an 3.5 mm sterio headphone jack and plug that in your car and shuffle it should work just as good

IPod touch 4G with interferance on 1 channel when connected in my car

I have an iPod touch 4G with interferance on 1 channel when connected to my VW Golf (2009) using VW cables and a RNS510 stereo system. I can only listen to it if the balance is full left channel! Tried it in another car and it is fine. Tried my sons 2G touch in my car and that is fine. VW say the stereo is fine? I used the same settings as the VW technician's iPod his was OK and mine wasn't. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

Try turning off your iPod and turning it back on. It might Help.

My iPod locks up after using it in the car with the iTrip

I recently upgraded my iTunes software and iPod software to the most recent versions available. Since then, my iPod will work in the car with the iTrip for only a short amount of time and then it starts scrolling through the playlist by itself without playing anything and then gets stuck in the on mode. I have reset the iPod as directed by the Apple website and it worked fine from my computer and in my Bose sound dock. Once I put it back in the car on the iTrip the same thing happened. I am wondering if since my software upgrades the iTrip is not longer compatible with my iPod. Please help! Thanks!

UK - Best iphone car dock or FM transmitter?

Hi there,
I have recently bought an iphone in the UK and was wondering if anyone in the UK has found a good dock/holder for the iphone that fits well in a car, maybe with an FM transmitter so that you can listen to music etc from your iphone through the cars speakers.
Any thoughts???

cool, I will look at this one, I also heard that the Kensington Digital FM Transmitter is good, and its only £25 in amazon.co.uk anyone got it, or knows if it works well?
Don't bother.
I got the Kensington one (I think it is the same one you are referring to) for my ipod. It worked better than my iTrip fm transmitter, and I like the fact that it charges at the same time as transmitting (something the iTrip didn't do).
Sadly, when I use the Kensington with my iPhone, I get the mobile interference. It isn't awful, but it is enough to get me looking around for a different one. There is a concerning silence from Apple when you speak to them about this - concerning because it looks like they know it is v difficult to avoid the mobile interference. Having said that, most people who have referred to the transmitter mentioned in an earlier post in this thread report good experiences. I'm tempted to give that a whirl.
Workarounds I have read are:
1. Put the phone into Airplane mode. No good, of course, if you want to retain the phone function.
2. Wrap silver foil around the cable nearest to the iPhone. Sounds like the old advice to avoid radiation in the event of nuclear war, but I may give it a go! ;o)

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.
