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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out.    I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from m

    If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out. 
    I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from my macbook to the express/stereo, however i cant surf the web because i can only presume i haven't set up the express to join my sky network.  So therefore the only way to surf the web at the moment is swap wireless devices from express back to my current sky network, then the airplay stops obviously.
    I've tried to join the express to my sky network/netgear router, at face value it looks simple.  The sky network name automatically comes up and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using, then type in the password which i presume is the network key number on the back of the netgear router?  However its not connecting??  I am doing something wrong?
    Can someone please give me some guidence on how to connect express to my current network?

    and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
    Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
    Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
    The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time.

  • I bought songs of itunes and put them on a usb they all show and play when i open the usb on my laptop but wont play in my car stereo

    I bought songs of itunes an put my playlist on my usb.
    There all visible and play on my laptop but wont play in my car stereo usb port
    any suggestions please

    iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
    Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Touch refuses to play through car stereo

    Hi, I just got a 16gb Touch and love it. Unfortunately it's refusing to play through my car stereo. My car stereo has an auxiliary jack and I have a cable with RCA at one end and ipod connecter at the other end. My wife's Classic and Nano both play fine but the Touch is refusing to play through. Am I missing something?

    Look at http://pinouts.ru/Devices/ipod_pinout.shtml and read the description of pin 21.
    I suspect the Accessory Indicator/Serial enable causes the problem when there is no charging voltage.
    You might want to contact the car adapter manufacturer to see if they have a fix.

  • Play other apps through car stereo like pandora an aol music

    With the increasing number of music apps other than the ipod I'm looking for a way to play those through my car stereo. I have an 06 VW Jetta that has a built in ipod player, when I plug it in it goes directly to the ipod and only plays ipod if I'm in another app switch to another one it always goes back to the ipod. I would like to play pandora or aol music or flycast any of them throuigh the car stereo and I wanted to know if anyone knows a product that can allow me to do that. Or how I can do that now. I have the cassette player through the headphone jack but my car doesn't have a cassette player. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Apple has an accesory that transmits from your phone to any stereo/radio via the FM band...just pick an unused spot on the dial.
