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.

Turning off ipod nano 5g internal speakers

is there a way to turn off the ipod nano 5g internal speakers without having to connect the headsets? I just connected the Motorola bluetooth adaptor and I can listent to the music in my headstets but also from the internal speakers.

To answer the question of how to turn off the internal speaker on the iPod Nano 5th gen., which stays on even when you plug in the headphones, here is what I had to do: I first unplugged the headphones from the unit. Then, I cycled power on it by holding down the Menu and center button at the same time until it powered off. This could take a couple of seconds so be patient. After the unit powered back up, I plugged in the headphones and the music started to come through the headphones and NOT the unit only. Hope this helps.

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!

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.

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?

Hi Ernestine Combs-Walls!
Here is the list of manuals available for the different iPod nanos. Choose the one that is relevant to your nano model, and it will give you information on that generation of nano, including what wireless components are included (if any):

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.

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?

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 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?

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.

Connecting Ipod nano to Logitech mm50 ipod speakers

I just bought the Logitech mm50 Ipod Speakers and can't hear the sound from my Ipod Nano over the speakers. I have fully charged the battery with the included charger and now want to listen to the music using the included adaptor (which plugs into the wall) to no avail. The Ipod shows the songs are playing, but we can't hear them. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, can you help me solve this one, short of returning it to the store?

Hi Sabir,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The Creative speakers should work with the iPod as long as they have a standard headphone jack. I saw some connections from Creative to the iPod, but they were not rated.

Problem with using my iPod in my car

My Acura has a USB cord so I can play my iPod through my car speakers quite easily. SInce I have a navi screen am able to see the iPod screen on my dashboard. EVerything works great except for one thing - Podcasts.
For some reason the podcasts don't show up on the screen and I cannot play them. I can play music, but no podcasts.
ANy ideas on how I can listen to podcasts?

my only idea would be convert copies of the podcasts to audio files (if they aren't protected files you should be able to use FFmpegX to do this). Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Charging iPod Nano in the car

From other posts in this area it seems that the iPod Nano is able to be charged via an Apple Firewire/iPod cable but it will not sync (transfer tunes) via the Firewire cable.
This seems OK provided that I can continue to use my Griffin car charger to charge the Nano (I connect my current iPod headphone socket to an iFire amplifier and then directly to the car speakers
(see http://www4.tpgi.com.au/users/aoaug/macosx.html#hifi )
Also I should be able to use my old iPod AC adapter with the firewire cable to the iPod dock connector. My main requirement is to be able to charge the iPod Nano will travelling when I dont have access to a computer with USB.
This all depends on being able to use the connector cable from the previous model iPod (20Gb) with teh Nano.

Yes your old iPod chargers will work as long as you can use a cable that connects to the bottom of the iPod (dock connector)
Also any charging accessory should work again as long as it can be connected as the iPods all required the same charge voltage, etc.

IPod nano in my car

Hey guys-
I'm considering buying an iPod nano if I can get a few things answered before I do so.
I have a Kenwood car radio without a AUX input. I have found an adapter for my radio for $20 though that will give me an AUX input of "RCA stereo female inputs"
I'm wondering if I buy a nano if I can hook it up to that RCA stereo input? If so, I'll likely buy one, but it's not worth it to me if I can't play it through my car speakers.
Is this AUX input adapter all I need? Or is there more to it? Can the Nano hook up to an RCA stereo input?
Thanks in advance. I've been trying to figure this stuff out all day.

** YES, I used straight from my headphone jack to AUX RCA stereo plugs, no problem. **
details...
I used a regular headphone jack to sterea RCA (you know to make sure the headphone jack portion of the cable has 2 rings around the tip for stereo) and I hooked it to the AUX in on my home stereo and it worked fine. However, it did not work so well going from the line out on the doc and the line out on the car charger/dock combo. Seems my audio out from other devices taking from the nano data port gives distorted static and such. But coming straight out from the nano headphone jack to split stereo RCA male plugs, plugging into an AUX, you should be golden... and very pleased.
I'm jealous, wish I had AUX input in my car stereo, I use a cassette-headphone jack adapter. I love my black nano, but please get yourself an Agent 18 case and do NOT even touch the thing until its sealed away. I'm sorry I didn't, it's scratched beyond recognition in just a little over amonth.
