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 Nano to Car Speakers

I have a white 2 GB iPod Nano 1st Generation and I want to be able to play my iPod through my car speakers. I already have the USB cable and the car charger, can i just plug the cable & the charger into my car and then turn off my radio and press play...or do i need to by one of those FM Radio iPod converters for a car in order for me to play my iPod in my car?

Either that or an expensive retrofit. My last car had a lousy radio so I bought a Sony that had an aux port. There are also some really expensive models that have iPod ports. Another option for some cars is an expensive device that adds an auxilliary input to your factory radio but there can be downsides. For me I have a choice of losing my XM radio or losing audible warnings. And then there's the FM transmitters. I bought a Kensington digital and am mostly happy with it. I say mostly because in some areas there is no free frequency so the iPod is unusable.

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?

Need to charge IPod Nano in car

My 5th Gen IPod Nano plays in my new car's MP3 player. But it does not charge. The reason is the car's MP3 Player is only compatible with IPod Nanos Generation 1, 2 and 3. I have 5th Generation.
Apple support advised I get the ISimple ReVolt Charging Adapter model IS710.
I bought the ISimple IS710 charger and connected it per the directions - one end of the IS710 into my car's MP3 cable and the other end into my IPod -but my car's MP3 player would not play my IPod's music. I received a message from the car's panel that my IPod is not connected, even though it was. It also seemed that the IS710 adapter did not fit securely into my IPod. But it still would not play even when I held it in securely.
I looked at the box the IS710 came in and it stated that it was compatible with IPod Nano 4th Generation. It did not mention any other generations. I have IPod Nano 5th Generation. Is that the problem? Any advice? I need to charge this IPod Nano in the car while I am playing its music.

Ipod Nano/iTrip/Car charger problems.

I recently bought an itrip nano (the one that fits around your ipod) and i originally had a charger for my car, but thanks to the good people at apple I had to buy a new one because no cables would fit the old charger with the itrip plugin.
*end rant, begin question*
Alright, I ended up buying a macally car charger that had a USB port that would have a wire that could fit the two together (cost about 40 bucks). Ready to here nice clear music right? (clear enough since i did remove my antenna) Wrong...now I hear this annoying high pitched sound if i turn up my car speakers...I already know the problem with reception when you turn up the ipod volume...so what am I to do??
This isn't a question about reception, ive known for awhile the reception problems that come with these devices. This is a question of that freakin sound, and I'm sure someone is going to tell me that i need to buy something else. Thanks Ipod!

Ipod nano with car kit

I have just fitted an Alpine car kit to play my nano in the car, but although the track info is coming through on the head set, i get no sound!
We've tried another nano and it works fine.
any ideas?

Try turning the volume up on your iPod.
You may also want to reset the iPod while it is connected to the system...

Also, this system connects to your iPod via the dock connector, right?

Using ipod nano with car

I just received a new ipod 16gb, which has a new charger. How can I use this in my car, which has ipod connectivity using the old plug? How can I use it in my skullcandy speakers, which use the old plug?

How to play Ipod Nano in car

I have a VW that has a jack designed to play ipods. I purchased a cord that connects the ipod and the jack together, but nothing plays.

I am not sure what type of cable you purchased. My wife's car has a similar jack and she tried one of the 3.5mm mini to 3.5mm mini jacks with little success. Volume and sound quality was very poor.
She later picked up a 3.5mm to iPod connector and sound quality was much better.

Ipod Nano 4g not recognised by car stereo system

I have recently purchased a new design Vauxhall Astra. One of the extras available was a USB connection which stated on the original advertising leaflet that it was fully Ipod compatible. Upon getting the car home I was eager to try out my Ipod Nano 4th generation. Initially nothing happened when I plugged it in via the USB socket. I then thought to switch on the auxiliary button, this responded with the message "no auxiliary connected". I then thought maybe I should switch on the Ipod. That was when the real trouble started, everything went dead. That was when I decided I had better check the car handbook. It was only then that I discovered the list of compatible Ipods and guess what every one was listed except for the 4g. I disconnected the Ipod, which although initially only showed the Apple logo, I was able to make it work normally. As for the car stereo system everything works fine except for the auxiliary switch, this still remains dead. The car is going back to the dealership on Wednesday for them to try to find out what is wrong, in the meantime is there anyone out there that can shed any light on this problem.

At last, Vauxhall have come up with the solution. It seems that the fact the original advertising literature not mentioning the 4G was an error as they are all compatible. Apparently to make the system work it is essential to have the engine running before you make the USB connection. If you do not have the engine running the system becomes confused and therefore shuts down completely, which is what happened to me. If this happens then the only way of rectifying it is to return the car to the dealership and have the system completely re-configured. Obviously I mentioned the fact that this was not explained when I collected the car and they admitted that this should be made clearer for future customers

Ipod nano 4gb and car audio

Hi everyone, I've got an iPod Nano 4gb and am a little confused as to what is required to connect this device to my factory installed cd player. I drive a 2006 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab and have the basic factory audio system. I spoke with the dealership where I purchased the truck and they said that I need an interface and harness for $400 + labor. I don't think that is an option for me -- way too expensive.
What exactly is need to connect my iPod Nano to my truck's audio system? Do I need to purchase a new audio device that supports the iPod?
Thanks

The following website will list different types of car audio devices made for iPods. I hope it lists something that may help you.

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.

I have an iPod nano v4 or 5 and when I connect it to my Hyundai Santa Fe I get an iPod loading error message. The cable came with the car when I purchased it and the dealer was able to get it to work with his newer ipod. Please advise.

Hi Bander Bunny!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:

It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

Ipod Nano and Icelink Car adapter

Well i recently installed the Icelink adapter on my BMW's Bussiness CD. I bought an Ipod Nano and i am facing a weird issue that noone can explain.
Though the Nano works fine with the CD player in my car, in certain songs "Warning" is displayed in the CD player's screen and either Nano or CD Player turns off and back on.
If i skip the song within 2-3 minutes moving forwards/backwards it works until i reach a song that can be played.
Note that i controll the Nano from the CD Player's menu buttons.
I have also upgraded it to software version 1.1.1 but still it does the same thing and only in certain songs.
It's weird cause all of these songs play fine in any player in my laptop and through Nano connected to my home stereo or earphones.
An other funny thing is that i connected another regular IPOD which interacts with the car's CD Player fine without having issues like the ones i mentioned above.
Does anyone have any idea why this issue occures??
Thanks in advance.

Well i figured it out.
In order for icelink to transmit the song played in Nano to the CD Player, all songs must have information related both to the Song title and artist name. Otherwise Icelink can not work properly and interact completely with the CD Player.
The info should be added through Itunes only.
