Playing iPod through car stereo

Hi,
It plays just fine except it won't shuffle songs, and the battery drains when the car is off. The iPod needs to be ejected when the battery is down, the car started and the iPod reconnected for it to work (except it still won't shuffle).
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer

It sounds like the car stereo to me. Try getting one of those wireless transmiteras for the radio and see it if is still doing the volume jumps. If not then it is your stereo and if so them it is the iPod.

  • I cant shuffle tracks in playlists like before on latest itunes and when playing ipod through car stereo it will only placks in the 'correct'order - even if i select shuffle on the ipod itself.

    i mostly use my ipod in a car system through the oe radio  (audi a4) - if you connect an ipod and play tracks, evene when setting songs to shuffle it stil plays in the correct order.
    in the past i have made and shuffled playlists then they played fine. since 'upgrading' to the latest itunes it does not now let me do this. you can shuffle tracks but it does not physically re-list the tracks like it used to.
    any help on this woulod be greatly appreciated!
    thanks

  • Play IPOD through my stereo system

    I bought a cheap Phillips chord to plug my ipod through my stereo system. The sound is different from song to song (as in loudness/brightness)and i have to keep adjusting the stereo volume or settings...is this NORMAL or is there somehting i am doing completely wrong......I have a good stereo systema nd would hate to have to buy an ipod sound system to play my ipod in the house when i have a perfectly good stereo system. Could it be the 6.99 phillips chord? am i supposed to change some settings somewhere?? THX again folks for your help.

    If I'm not mistaken, choosing that setting in your iTunes prefs doesn't effect iPod playback when it's not hooked up to a computer. If you need to normalize sound levels on your iPod, go to the settings in your iPod menu and turn on Sound Check.

    Hi i was wondering if there was any plans by creative to bring out an adapter like the iTrip to play the MP3 player through the stereo of my car... or would anyone know if something is already out by creative or someone else that would work on my MUVO2 FM to do the same thing as an iTrip or similar, any help would be greatly appriciated.. Thanks

  • Playing Zen through car stereo

    Hi people
    Just wondering, is it possible to play the ZEN Vision:M through a JVC KD-LHX552 car stereo?
    I assume I would need an adaptor from the stereo... but would this go directly into the headphone socket on the Zen, or would it fit into the Zen adaptor (the white block used to transfer songs in the first place). I have no idea about this at all, so any help would be greatly appreciated..
    Cheers
    =]

    I was able to play my Zen through the car stereo using an audio cable. I plugged it into the headphone jack of the player and the "Aux Out" jack on the car stereo. You should be able to do it as long as your stereo has an output jack. Hope this helps.

  • How to revert to older software to play ipod  in car stereo

    I have a Classic I-pod with software version 3.1.1. The manual for my Pioneer DEH-P310UB car stereo says it will play the Classic I-pod version 1.1.2. Can I revert my I-pod software back to 1.1.2 in order to play it in the car? I'm going on a long road trip and wish to play this I-pod on the road.

    Yes I do have a Classic, it's not a nano, it doesn't take photos, and I got it for Christmas 2004.
    The iPod classic was not even released until October 2007.
    The iPod Photo (or 4th gen iPod) and iPod with color display do not take photos but can display photos.
    it tells me the software is 3.1.1
    Yes, because the iPod Photo (or 4th gen iPod) uses firmware 3.1.1. The iPod classic (120 GB iPod) uses version 2.
    The iPod classic (80GB & 160GB) use version 1.1.2.
    Is it possible to revert to 1.1.2?
    Possibly but the manual you are reading is not referring to version 1.1.2 for the iPod Photo (4th gen).
    It is referring to version 1.1.2 for the iPod classic (which are only the 80GB/160GB models).
    If your iPod does not have a 80/160/120Gb drive, it is not an iPod classic. It is a regular iPod.

  • Playing ipod thru car stereo with no mp3 capability

    Is there a model that you can connect to your car audio (thru cigarette lighter) that will play clearly? My stereo is older and does not play mp3 nor do I have an ipod connection. Thanks for your help!

    Yeah, they make FM transmitters that use the ciggerette lighter's power to power the transmitter. Cigarette lighter sockets are 12v only no audio in there.

  • Playing iPhone Through Car Stereo

    Tragically, the tape deck on my 2000 Ford Mustang pooped out the other day. I had been using a cassette adapter to play my iPhone/iPod for years, and now I'm stuck. I know people who have the adapters that play through the radio, but I live in a big city (Washington, DC) and there's occasional static which I find very annoying.
    It's an old car, so I can't connect the iPhone directly to the stereo without spending some serious money on a new stereo. Has anyone had a good experience with a certain iPhone car adapter? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I would go with a cheap stereo from BestBuy with an aux jack and use an aux cable.

  • 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.

  • I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal).  However, I just created my own solution.  The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection.  Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit.  It's a no-tech solution, and free!

  • Play iPOd through stereo while connected to power line?

  • Fm tuner in 5th gen nano let you play out of car stereo?

    i have an older car (2001) that does not have a jack to plug in an ipod. back in the day, with my mini, belkin made a fm tuner that could attach to mini, to listen to ipod from car stereo.

    I have a Belkin FM transmitter which I use with a 2nd Gen Nano and it also works with a 5th Gen Nano. The only difference is that I first have to put the Nano into play and then plug the FM-T. in, otherwise it doesn't work.
    Hence I would assume a transmitter which worked with a 4th gen also works with a 5th gen. After all, it is all about the connector and that is always the same.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod Ready Car Stereo

    Hello,
    I am going on a summer vacation to California via mini van. I want to purchase an ipod ready car stereo so the kids can play all their music and mine on this long road trip. Some have aux input, some usb connection, and others an adapter that you buy along with the stereo. Anyone have one of these that can give me their experience? Thanks.
    Gilbert

    Check the link below. They may have an adaptor for your existing factory radio. The advantage of this is that it will likely be cheaper then a brand new head unit and with this, you can have the iPod charge while playing. I installed this recently in my car and I'm very happy with it.

  • How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

    How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

    Make sure the format when you burn your playlist is one your car's CD player will recognize. Typically mp3 songs are readable now but when in doubt, burn an audio cd. Yes, you will get less songs per cd (as compared to mp3 formatted one) but you are guaranteed the cd will work in any place.  Most cars have it written on the radio somewhere what formats it can read for CDs.. Good luck!

  • How can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

    how can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

    In quicktime, I would try File -> Export -> Audio. It will create an audio file. Then drop it onto your playlist into  iTunes. Burn the list from itunes with File -> Burn to disk    and then select Audio CD.
    If you have Quicktime  7 it should be easier and export to AIFF directly
