Use ipod nano in the car

Hi,
I wanna use my ipod nano in the car. I know they have FM transmitter stuffs but I'd prefer not to have any bit of static and radio interference. So I asked my car dealer to install a headphone port in my car as an auxillary port (they said it's an ipod kit). But using with normal cable doesn't let me play around with ipod using the stereo buttons of the car. So I think what I need is a cable that has a dock connector at one end and a headphone port at the other. But it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere. Any thought or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

What car do you have? Not all cars have the ability to do this look though here for other options to do that http://www.apple.com/ipod/ipodyourcar/

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.

Listen iPod nano in the car

Hello, I want to listen my iPod nano in my Subaru Legacy car. I've bought USB to aux cable, connected one end to iPod and another end to car's USB port. It does not recognize iPod as USB device. Please advice how could I connect my iPod to USB in the car?

Is your head unit in the Legacy iPod compatilble. If yes does it require a special cable?
Your solution could not work.

Controlling nano in the car

When I connect my nano to my car's usb port, I can't get to the home screen and it begins playing right away. I can play different songs with the car's controls but the nano only shows a connection screen, neither of the buttons do anything when pressed

Nano in the car - battery issue

Hi All,
Just a month into owning a Nano and loving it. The same time that I bought the iPod I bought an adaptor for my car: "RoadTrip", which runs as a recharger through the cig lighter and also syncs through FM radio so you can hear the music through the car stereo system.
Now, if I do this every day for my fairly short (10-30 minute) trips to work, I'm keeping the battery charged pretty much most of the time. I'm worried I'm going to kill the battery much too soon. I have already planned to do a complete drain once a month based on tips from Apple's website. I just read about the Mitsubishi iCar that has a built-in slot to slide your Nano in and the stereo system does the rest, so maybe I'm worrying too much?
Should I be worried?
Phil

Hi Phil,
Apple says that you do not need a full charge each time you plug in, though it does recommend a full discharge at least once a month:

Questions using ipod nano in the car

Hi !
I´m using my iPod in the car on an Alpine Car Stereo .
All things work perfect until I install the iPod-Update Firmware1.1.3
Now I have problems like:
The iPod doesn´t remind the last titles; that means: today I´m hearing "Rock" and if I
turn on the radio tomorrow morning, it´s searching for the iPod an than begins to play the
first of 350 songs (for example)
And I find out, that the iPod battery is empty. Normally it get´s loaded by using it during a ride.
Any suggestions about that ??
Are there any special things I have to switch in the iPod menue or what ?
Thanks in advance !

First thing to check is the Shuffle function of the iPod. Shuffle should be set to OFF to work with the Alpine correctly and when you updated the firmware it may have reset the iPod to default to turning the Shuffle feature ON.

Left iPod nano in the car, having problems

Left the nano on the seat by accident on an 80ish degree day. I think it's fried but I want to be sure. Basically it loads up fine, and the computer recognizes it and everything, but the wheel and buttons won't work.
The funny part is the buttons still work to reset the iPod which I've done 4 or 5 times to no avail, so I know the buttons aren't really broken. They just won't navigate past the "Language" screen. Any ideas I can try before I toss it?

You didn't mention if you had tried restoring it. If your PC recognizes it, then try it; otherwise, it might be history.

Nano and Alpine Car Stereos

Took my Nano to my local independent car stereo installer this afternoon - I wanted to see what options gave me better sound than the FM modulators.
Excuse me if you all already know this, but Alpine's new head units and their iPod adapter work with the Nano - offering total control of your nano from the car stereo face. Song title and artist are displayed on the car stereo screen. And the Alpine iPod adapter even charges the Nano while attached.
I mean, the shop owner asked me for my Nano. He plugged it into the Alpine iPod interface. And within three or four ceconds, there was my first cut off my iPod! The car stereo displayed my iPod's name. And then (if I remember correctly) the song title - then the album name.
I was immediately sold. I chose the Alpine CDA-9851 head unit, plus the iPod adapter. Due to the fact that my Ford's original stereo was "double-DIN" in height, I will "gain" a little felt-lined shelf under this new Alpine - to hold the Nano, of course!
It all gets installed this Saturday! I'll report back after playing with it for a few hours.

There are plenty of options out there, and buying into the "brand name experience" is one of them. The benefits of your choice is that you have full control through the stereo itself (and possibly the steering wheel). Other options are less costly, but require manual control via the iPod.
Have fun!

3rd Gen Nano click wheel won't work in the car. My OLD one worked, but this one doesn't.

I use a PXDP iPod2Car iPod interface in my 02 Firebird. My original, trusty 3rd gen. nano used to work perfectly. It charged, and the steering wheel as well as main stereo controls operated it. Something happened to it recently (my guess is the logic board went bad) and it does not come on at all, plugged in or not. I actually have 2 more just like it that I was going to give away, but decided to keep.
Neither one of these will let me use the click wheel to scroll while plugged into the car - the old one did.
I can only change songs with the car's controls.
The only difference between these two and the old one, is that they have the HP logo on the back. Are they later models, with perhaps different hardware?
Is there anything I can do about it?
Is there any hope for the old one?
I hate not being able to scroll at all!
thanks in advance!

Contact PXDP. They should know if their product is compatible with your iPod Nano.
Why won't my iPod play through my iPod speakers or car kit?

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:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

How can you get the car stereo to play songs on nano in order?

Hi--I just got an ipod nano and connect it to my car stereo via a usb port. No matter what controls I try (on the car) it just plays songs in alphabetical order of the song (regardless of the album title). How can I get it to play in the order I want (like one album at a time)?

Mine does. If you can browse by artist, album or song titles, chances are it can brwose through playlists as well. Also make sure that you don't have shuffle selected.
The iPod should play songs in the order that they are listed on the display.

Does the iPod Nano (6th gen.) charge when plugged in in the car?
