Is there a 3.5 jack cable to docking cable available?

I am looking for a cable with the 3.5 jack on one end and the docking port connection on the other end. I am not worried about it charging or not. I was told that i will get better sound by using docking port to tie into car 3.5 jack instead of using iphone headset jack to 3.5 jack of car. Any ideas.
Thanks

well I'm actually the Ryan who's email is xxxx'd out. Guess they don't like showing people a way to save a few dollars on some car mounts for their ipod. Yet another reason why I don't have an ipod. Cripple the players and cripple the forums. Though I still bought my mom an ipod
Anyway...after poking around, wouldn't an easy solution be to just buy the AV Composite cable, use the stereo RCA plugs for the input on the in dash radio (can buy a $3 RCA to 3.5mm adapter if needed) and use the USB side to charge via a USB car charger? Granted, it's not the nice hardwired solution (my prefrence), but for most who just want plug and play, it's a simple solution for line out sound quality and charging while in the car.
The only downside is I don't see a cheap one anywhere. You'd think some third party company would've made one by now. They make everything else cheaper. But the cable would serve double duty if you needed it elsewhere. PLUS, if you had an indash LCD screen, you could use the video out on it as well. Screw the DVD player, just use your ipod video/touch/iphone as the video player in your car. Some indash players have video in as well.
Regardless, you have options to get line out sound quality. If you don't need to charge, docking port av cables are about $6 on ebay. Just do a search of "ipod av composite cable". It'll come up along with the headphone jack ones.
Another plus going the USB route is why not go that route with everything you have. You can hard wire in a usb hub, have it hidden behind the dash and just run a usb cable for your particular device to it. Much smaller than 12v outlets and you can charge as many cables you can fit into the hub. Almost everything has a USB cable for it nowadays.

  • How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging?  I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5 mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work on the ipod.

    I know this is old - but did you ever get this working. Thinking of getting a 780 ti card and I have an older mac with the mini-displayport too.

    Many programs will allow you to get your music off your ipod/ipad and onto a computer so it can be resynced. Phoneview (Mac) and transpod (PC) are two examples.

  • Accessing NMH305 via ethernet cable or usb cable to laptop

    Is there a way of accessing the Media Hub (NMH305) via an ethernet cable or USB cable directly to a laptop, if so how can i do this, please.

    Yes, it is possible to connect a computer straight to the mediahub since the media hub is also DHCP client. After that, you just need open a browser and type in the address bar the mediahub’s friendly name which is also mediahub and from there you should now be able to access the mediahub’s media browser.

  • Dock Cable Extension

    Got an 80gb iPod classic, a case, and Quicksilver portable speakers for Christmas. Lucky me! My problem is this -- it is difficult to take the iPod out of the case, and I have to take it out of the case to use the dock connector with the Quicksilver speakers. So, in order to keep the iPod in the case and connect with the speakers, is there any sort of a "two ended" dock connector on the market? In other words, I need a dock connector to the iPod with a cable and another dock connector to the speakers. In this way I won't have to take the iPod out of the case. Does such a thing exist or is there another solution to my problem?

  • 5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked.

    5g ipod nano 8GB no sound through ear buds or headphone jack only when docked. any suggestions? i don't want to replace any of the parts inside if at all possible.
    I have a 5th generation 8GB iPod nano. I bout it off of eBay in May of 2010 and it has worked great until now (Apr 2011). The 5th gen plays music through the headphone jack even when no ear buds are plugged in. I was using it one day and it just stopped. I tried resetting it manually and automatically and I tried reinstalling iTunes. Nothing has worked. Now it won't even play sound though the ear buds (or the aux hook up in my car), only when it is docked to my iHome. Does anyone have any suggestions? I dont want to replace the iPod or any parts inside if at all possible. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED! THANKS!

    Headphone jacks are only good for so many in and out usages.  Usually its the headphone jack itsefl that goes bad first but sometimes it is the internal part.  If you are lucky you can clean out the inside and get it to work.
    These devices are not made to last for someone who actually has those headphones around there neck and acually uses there listening devices through out the day plugging it in and out.  This is not in any way an Apple thing, it is a problem with many devices.  The male ends tend to get dirty hanging around then scratch the female end when used.  In fact, using higher end headphones you can really notice even the smallest particles of dust on the male end of plug when used, that is the small popping you might notice when the cord moves.
    Hopefully its a problem on the male side of things. 
    I would recommend a person that wants to use headphones alot to keep a small 2 inch extension plugged into there device that can be replaced when it goes bad inplace of wearing out the original plug.
    Again, this is not an Apple problem alone.

  • Onelink dock cable length

    Hi everyone
    I am thinking about cleaning up my desk with a onelink dock. Since I plan to hide the dock under the table, I'd like to know, how long the onelink cable is. I couldn't find any info about that on the web.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the quick answer, I was hoping it'd be a little longer than the pictures suggest but I guess I'll find a way to mount it directly under the desk.
    Just to avoid unpleasant surprises: Are there any disadvantages of not having the dock easily accessible? It doesn't disable the power button or USB ports of the thinkpad itself, right?

  • Using iPad as an extended display - using docking cable instead of wireless

    I know that there are a few products that will let me extend the display of my Mac or PC to the iPad via wireless. While I haven't tried any of these products, I assume that they require my iPad and computer to be on the same network. This might be a problem if I connect to my corporate VPN from my Mac.
    Is there an application that lets me extend the desktop of my Mac or PC to my iPad without dependency on wireless i.e using the docking cable?
    thanks!

    I have this exact same question. I wonder if this reply will bump it up?

  • Dock cable broken after only 1 month of use

    I use the dock cable to connect my ipod classic 80gb to the sony stereo in my car with the usb port.After 1 month of use the cable doesn't connect to the stereo anymore and say Usb not device and only if i put the cable in a strange position it works for sometime and than again usb not device , than it works and after a bit it doesn't work anymore.I try to connect to itunes but the problem is the same.The cable cost €19 and i don't want to buy another because surely after a month it will be broken again so i just want to know why this happen.Someone can give me an advice?

    Can you try eBay for the docking cables, since you sound like a cable destroyer.
    I think on eBay, the cables are less than €9 or if from some Oriental countries less €1 which maybe where your fragile cable comes from.

    1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off.
    2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.

  • Is there any final cut express 4.0.1 update available?

    Is there any final cut express 4.0.1 update available? I want a RELIABLE source to update this, preferably by APPLE, Inc.
    I'm VERY disappointed that APPLE does not have that on the website. I SUPPORTED you by buying a product and in return you do NOT have a place for us to install upgrades especially if consumers like me got a new laptop. That is just plain MEAN. I mean, REALLY.
    Thank you and I hope to get this as soon as possible.

    Final Cut Express was discontinued 3 years ago (June 2011).  It was replaced by Final Cut Pro X.
    FCE is no longer supported by Apple.  That does not mean it won't run on Lion, Mt. Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite, however with each successive upgrade to OS X it becomes less & less likely that FCE will be installable or even run properly after being installed, because it is so much older than the current versions of OS X.   That said, the FCE 4.0.1 update is still available through Software Update provided you already have FCE 4.0 installed on your Mac.  The 4.0.1 update is not available "publicly," meaning you can't search for it on Apple's website and find it; FCE 4.0 has to already be installed on your Mac and you have to update it via Software Update on your Mac.
    One forum contributor DID find a way to download the 4.0.1 update without using Software Update, see this thread -> Where can I download Final Cut Express 4.0.1?
    My advice is to move to Final Cut Pro X since you have a Mac running Mavericks (10.9.5).
    I understand your frustration at having purchased some software and now you can no longer use it.  However, obsolescence is a natural part of the technology world.  FCE is now obsolete and has been replaced by Final Cut Pro X.   If you have OS X Lion or any later version of OS X installed on your Mac, you should be looking at Final Cut Pro X.
