Ipod Video plays in car?

Hi, I'm thinking about having an aftermarket adapter installed in my car so I can plug my ipod directly in. Because the ipod can play videos too, is it possible to watch a video on the ipod AND hear it through the car stereo? I asked the auto stereo guys, but they're not sure. Also, if it does work, can I watch home videos on it too? Thanks for any help!

Yes, its possible!!!
I have that setup in my car.
If it plays on ipod, be it music videos, movies, home movies it will play anywhere you set it up. As long as its in a format ipod recognizes (Mpeg4).
and remember to put TV OUT feature to ON when you watch it thru you in-car tv.
One more thing, you may notice that when you use a generic audio/video cable on your ipod, it does not work (TV screen is blank) so you might say that you have to buy the ORIGINAL a/v cable of Apple. DON'T!!!!
Here's the secret: dont plug the Yellow terminal(video) to the video-in of you TV. Instead, use the RED terminal to the Video-in and the yellow and white to the Left and Right audio channels. That will make it WORK!!
Almost bought an apple a/v cable because of this BUT looked over the net to find answers and I DID!! You can find these generic cable (mini plug to A/V RCA jacks)at any electronics shop or if you have a digital camara or camcorder chances are you already have this. It ONLY cost a few $$$, insted of the Apple a/v cable which is $20.
when buying aftermarket adapters (PIONEER or the like), don't buy the ones where you can control ipod directly on your head unit, that's only good for AUDIO. that's ok if you have the ipod that plays audio only, but if you have an ipod that plays pics and video you are better of just buying the A/V cable instead.
ALL THE FEATURES OF THE IPOD WORKS and Here's the kicker...IT"S CHEAPER TOO!!!
hope this helps!!!

  • IPod Contents & Playing in Car

    Apologies in advance if this question is too easy ... Is it possible to play iPod contents in your car.
    I'd rather not have to keep burning things to cds and would like to just be able to connect my iPod to the car speakers somehow.
    thanks.

    There's hundreds of ways to do this.
    You can start by looking at the Car Audio products in the Apple Online Store

  • Ipod touch playing on car radio

    Further to a previous question. Have recently purchased an Ipod touch and have been told it can play through an FM frequency on my car radio which does not have an aux jack. Can anyone tell me how to set the Ipod to do this and which FM frequency

    Have you reset the car system?
    Did it happen after an iOS update?
    Do other iOS devices still play?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • My iPod Video Plays video for a while the freezes

    Just got a question. I just bought an iPod 60gb 5th Gen. a week ago and I loaded up some videos in it. It seems that when I play the videos for about 5 mins it just goes to pause or freezes a while then when it starts playing again the sound does not come out, video still runs fine but no sound at all. Anyone has an idea of what is going on?

    I'm having the same problem and I use QuickTime setting that they provide specifically for converting movies to .m4v format for the iPod. I think we should all return them to the nearest Apple store for a new replacement.

    Hello everyone. I'm having the same problem. I
    called tech support and they told me that I'm
    probably not downloading the videos correctly. I
    told her that I didn't know there was a specific
    format for videos on iTunes. She said they are
    supposed to be in AAC. Is this true? I checked the
    properties of the video and they are in MPEG-4
    format. Any advice or should I just forget tech
    support and go to the Apple store and tell them that
    it's freezing?

  • Connecting iPod video to Blaupunkt car stereo

    Blaupunkt sells an adapter to connect iPods to their car stereo. Part number: 7607540500. It is compatible with the factory (Blaupunkt sourced) car stereo of my Fiat Panda model year 2005. The car stereo 'sees' the iPod as a Blaupunkt CD changer. It works well with the previous iPod but absolutely no-one can tell me if will work with the current video iPod that I'd like to purchase.

    I talked to Blaupunkt support in the states and they say that they are aware of the problem! Now what kind of an answer is that? I agree with you, Blaupunkt should get on this problem and fix it. Blaupunkt catalog actually states that the Ipod interface works with any Blaupunkt head unit with CDC control since 1998+. On the interface box it says 2001+. The simple fact is they should get there "stuff" together and fix it!

  • Leaving 60g iPod video in a car in the sun

    Hello I tried a search but didn't get the info I was looking for.
    I was wondering how sensitive the new iPod's were to being left in a hot car for a period of time , like in a glove box in the summer.
    I definately don't think it would be the greatest thing for them but I'm just wondering if in general it's been an iPod killer here on the forum? Anyone have any experience with this type of thing ...good bad or otherwise?

    On an 85 degree day, the temperature inside your car, even with the windows open a bit, will climb to 102 degrees in 10 minutes! After half an hour, it will go up to 120 degrees or even higher! On a 90 degree day, temps in that car can top 160 degrees faster than you can walk around the block.
    iPod Environmental requirements
    Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    Non operating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
    Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
    Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)

    I updated to 7.0 and now my ipod wont play in my car stero. I have reset, bought an itunes song and reset again but nothing is working. Pandora wont play. I can hear it very slightly in my speakers if I turn up the speakers but it is so faint. It plays thru its own speakers and my radio plays thru my speakers in my car so my its not my speakers.Help! Thank you!

    Hi Novagurl2369!
    I have an article for you that can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps to address your issue:
    No sound through stereo headset1
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.

  • Connecting Ipod Video to car stereo

    Hi,
    I have just bought a Goodmans GCE 7207i card stereo which has the ability to connect you Ipod and play you music library through the car stereo.
    However, on the box of the stereo, it says it is compatable with the Ipod min and 3rd and 4th generation ipods. But I have a 5th generation video Ipod?
    I am assuming that it says this on the box as when the stereo was manufactured , the Ipod nano / Video was not released.
    My question is, does anyone know if this stereo is likely to be compatable with my ipod video. I am assuming it will be as it has the same connecter and if it was compatable with the Ipod photo then it will probably be compatable with the Ipod video.
    If anyone has had any experience with this then please help me as i am wondering whether to return the Stereo before it is installed.
    Thanks
    steve

    Oh! Sorry, I don't. I'm expressing how it should work. If you plug the AV Component connection into the touch, plug the connectors into the car DVD and the USB into the car power it should work.
    I would try the AV Component connection at home first and when it is working there move it to the car without worrying about the power and then add the power.
    make sense?
    Sorry for giving you false hope.

  • Movie downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod video

    I bought a movie off of itunes and downloaded it to my ipod video. But the movie won't play on my ipod. It plays perfectly fine on my computer. Why isn't playing on my ipod video? Is there something i have to do first before videos are able to play on my ipod?

    Is it one film or all of them? I'm having a similar problem where this one film I accidentily deleted that used to play got reloaded and now plays fine on my computer but won't sync onto my iPod. Everything's checked off and ready to go on my computer, but when I sync the film simply isn't there.

  • IPod-Video-80Gig No longer plays movies, videos, TV shows (older shows)

    What gives, only 6 months ago the videos played just fine...then I begin having a host of problems (started with the death of the battery at the ripe old age of 8 months). This $400 video iPod had played the few movies and TV shows I purchased...and it will play the audio of them...but will no longer play the video portion. I've tried the resetting (holding the MENU plus CENTER buttons at same time). No go still. I haven't played the movies/videos in a while; but now I'm going on a roadtrip and wanted to take them with me to watch on the plane. So sad. Any help anyone can pass along would be rightly appreciated!

    OMI...my daughter had told me she was "fiddling" with the settings and wouldn't you know, she changed the VIDEO SETTINGS "TV Out from Off to On." Word to people with kids...tell them to step away from the iPod.

  • I have 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car and 30 to lighting cable and adapter plays audio but does not charge.  Is there a fix

    My 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car worked fine with my old iphone.  it charged and played audio.  I bought both 30 pin to lighting (cable and adapter) from Apple store but it does not charge.  It only play audio.  I have verified that both adapter and cable are working fine.  Is there anything to fix this?

    Apple sells a 30 pin to lightning pin adapter - you can find it on the Apple on;line store - or Amazon sell 3rd party one - but if it didnt works with your 4S which also has a 30 pin input - there may be something else wrong
