MacBook Pro Through Car Stereo?

Hi,
I want to run the sound from my MacBook Pro through my Kenwood Excelon car stereo so that I can hear it on the truck speakers.
I'll first try it with a Bluetooth connection. The BT between my iPhones and the stereo works perfectly, but I've never tried the computer. I figure to pair it and go to System Pref's and set output to BT.
If that does not work, the Kenwood will also take a USB connection. Can I do that? If I establish a USB connection, is there a sound out preference that will show in Syst Pref's for USB out?
Thanks.

PS. Here's the full version of what I'm trying to do for those who want more. I've got a small motorhome. It has an entertainment center with speakers connected to the car radio. I want to either stream Netflix or use my Slingbox to watch the video on my MBP screen -- but get better sound by running it through the car radio and the rv sound system.
The RV is older and I cannot hard wire into the entertainment system from the MBP; so, I'm going through the newer radio.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

You can't pair a Nano with the MacBook Pro and more information is needed about the problem you are having with the Beats Pill and your car stereo. Check the car stereo manual and see if it has A2DP compatibility.

I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

New to the community here, thanks for your patience. I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
Thanks so much.

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

Registering my new Macbook Pro through Apple?

How could I go about registering my new Macbook Pro through Apple. Is there any special way to do so because the first day I turned it on I remember typing in some sort of information but was not sure if it was to register it, thanks so much; cheers !

Go to:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do?newid=y
Enter your serial #.
(To get serial # Apple Menu>About this Mac. Click on 'Version 10.6.x' twice. Window stays on top while you enter serial. Copy/Paste doesn't work. Sorry if you knew that bit...)
You'll then get a page confirming your model etc and there'll be a warning that your 'product is unregistered'. Follow it on from there.
Edit: Having just been through this myself, (for an MBP) that's the path I followed. I can't remember how I got there. Presumably if yours is registered you'll get a confirmation rather than a warning
Good luck.

Bought a Macbook Pro through education store - 3 year warranty? where?

Hey,
Bought my Macbook Pro through the educational discount & wasn't supplied with anything in writing or on the invoice stating that it was supplied with a 3 year warranty.
How do I get this proof from apple?
Thanks

Hi,
to get three years guarantee you basically have two choices: buy full AppleCare or an "AppleCare Parts&Labor-Aggreement", which is – educational price – less than half of it. It is a bring-in-guarantee, no telephone-support and no extra software like with full AppleCare.
I donot know where to buy "Parts&Labor" in the US, in Germany one can buy it from a (good) retailer. I bought it together with my MBP directly from the Applewebstore (Edu–). It was offered as an option, couldn't find it separately on the site so I believe Apple isn't advertizing it to sell more of full AppleCare. There might be the option to get it via telephone from the Edu-Applestore.
Take in consideration if you have an Applestore nearby or a Apple-Service-Provider…
Greetings fro Germany

Playing through car stereo

I am having problems playing through car stereo using the cassette deck. Only getting audio out of right side. Have tried two Dyantec with same result. Ipod has sound on both sides through ear buds. Cassette deck is playing regular cassettes just fine. Trying to stay away from fm transmitters.

Do you have the option of an 'aux' in your car stereo? If so, you should only have to purchase an auxiliary cable and plug it into your IPod and 'aux' in the car. It will then play through the speakers. You can also do this with your home stereo if it has the 'aux' option.

Hibernate macbook pro through terminal hibernatemode 25

Hibernate macbook pro through terminal hibernatemode 25 on mountlion does it harm system

The real lesson is: Don't do something you know nothing about.
Open the Terminal and enter or paste:
pmset -g
Press RETURN. This will list your current settings. You are interested in the setting named "hibernatemode." Most likely you will find it is "3". If so then enter or paste:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 1
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password and press RETURN again.

HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection? The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection? The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
For a Virtual Machine:
If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
For BootCamp:
Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.

You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

Using Iphone through car stereo

I just had delivery of a brand new Honda Civic and opted for an upgrade to an Ipod Aux connection so i can play my ipod through the car stereo. As i plugged in my iphone it said that the Iphone was not compataible!
Does anyone here have any advise about what i need to do to get my Iphone to work? is there any software or should i get Honda to change the cable or something?

I just got my iPhone a few days ago and I use a Kensington LiquidAUX. It plugs into your lighter and charges your iPhone and has a aux line that plugs into your cars aux in. Sounds great and I have a 1 hour commute to work on way. So I get a full charge to work, watch vids at lunch and a full charge on the way home. Also it has a wireless remote that attaches to your steering wheel to control play back, I love that part. You can find it on Apple's site but do a search and you can find it cheaper. You will see some reviews that say the plastic cover on the plug comes apart. But I use a Pro Clip holder for my iPhone and the plug clamps into the holder turning into a dock, so my plug can't come apart.

IPhone no longer plays through car stereo after OS 4 upgrade.

My wife and I upgraded to OS 4 on 6/21. Both will no longer play or charge through the USB connection to our car stereos. We both have Kenwood decks but different models.
Any ideas?

Pandora App No Longer Streams Through Car Stereo

Hi,
I have a Alpine iDA-X305 head unit in my car and I used to stream Pandora through my stereo using a plug in connection. I recently did an app update for Pandora and it can no longer stream through my car stereo. A message pops up on my phone and it says that the device is not optimized. I have an iPhone 4 and am running the most up-to-date software.
Anyone have any input on how i can solve this problem?

Most likely the car player is the culprit here. Call their customer support.

Low volume on Ipod Nano when playing through car stereo

I used to own a 4 gig ipod mini, and I'd connect it to my car stereo via a stereo cassette adapter. Well, that little guy crashed after a few years of good hard use, and I bought an Ipod Nano. Only, when I play the Nano through my car stereo, the volume is really low. Is there any way to fix this? I'm thinking maybe the Nano doesn't have the same amplification as the mini, and that's why the volume is low, in which case there's going to be no way to play it through the car stereo. I've tried two different stereo cassette adapters so I know that's not the problem. Anyone have any clarifying thought on this? Please help. David

I use a cassette adapter in the car as well, and also have to adjust the voume on the stereo and the ipod to a higher setting than what I would when listening to a cassette or CD. I've used this adapter with another brand of MP3 player before I got my nano and it was the same as the nano in regards to having to turn up the volume.
In using the adapter in different cars, I've noticed that on some cassette players, I have to swith the auto reverse from say, tape A to tape B in order to get sound out of the adapter. You may want to check the auto reverse settings on your cassette deck, if you haven't already.
