have tried wifi and am radio connection... not good.
thanks for any suggestions

additional info,
I bought the Harmon Karton Drive+play, which was just ok, but the cable did not last long for 2 months, so I bought it back to the shop, as they did not have the spare cable for the replacement, they offered me to exchange for this iPlugRDS

which is the best iPod connection for car, if your car stereo does not offer any option for aux in/line in input

  • Why can't I connect iPod to car stereo with red/white RCA cables?

    I have red/white/yellow RCA (I think that's the name of them) plugs in my car stereo and I bought a cable to connect it to my iPod. It's the small plug (3.5 I think) on one end and a split 'Y' that's red and white on the other. The people and my car dealer connected a cell phone that is also a music player to it and it works, but it won't work with the iPod connected. The dealer thought it should be able to work with my iPod, but doesn't know why it won't. Are iPods able to connect to a car stereo this way. Is there another special cable that I need to get?

    No, I should think that would work fine. I have a splitter like that connected to my hifi and no issues...you would want to make sure the volume on the iPod is up all the way; I don't know what car stereo you have, but possibly it's a setting on there that isn't right?

  • Connecting iPod to car radio - USA-Spec

    Just installed the USA-Spec adapter to connect my iPod to the factory radio in my Toyota via the CD changer (no factory iPod connector). This is by far the best sounding and most elegant solution I have found - since it's a direct connection and there are no wires showing.
    There seems to be an issue with the pause/play on the iPod sometimes getting out of sync with the radio. When you turn the radio off the iPod goes on and visa versa.
    Could really use some insight for resolving this - before it drains my car battery.
    Thanks.

    Contact the car manufacturer.  Find out if it is compatible with your model iPod Nono.  You must be specific as which model you have in order to receive the correct information from the car manufacturer.

  • Problems connecting iPod to car & home stereo

    Whenever I connect my iPod to my car or home stereo, I can only hear music out of one speaker. Is there a setting I need to adjust from the iPod itself in order to hear my music in stereo mode?
    Please help, I'm leaving on tour tomorrow morning!

    I'm connecting my iPod from the earphone jack into my home stereo using white & red RCA cables.
    I'm also using a car adapter that plugs from the earphone & little flat slot next to it and this to the cigarette lighter.
    Neither way am I able to hear my music in stereo.

  • Connecting iPOD to car radio

    Hi there,
    Recently, I got a new car. A Seat Leon with a radio/MP3/Navigation system. The system is the exact same one used in VolksWagens (IIRC the manufacturer is BlauPunkt).
    Since I'm taking a long trip from Holland to Denmark soon, and I don't want to listen to the German 'Rundfunk', I decided to replace my old iPOD (it got very sick. Its HD went 'click' all the time, which can't be good)) with a new iPOD 30 GB.
    This morning I stepped into my car, excited like a kid in a candystore, and hooked up the USB cable to the USB port of my car. Then I plugged in the iPOD, which told me to not disconnect. SCORE! Or not?
    The iPOD realises it is connected, and starts charging. It also pretends to be playing, but my radio won't recognise it. Anyone have any experience like this? The dealer I bought the car at recommended me to RTFM and configure the radio for AUX, but I don't think there's such a thing, and they are closed now, so I cannot even yell at them now.
    Anyone at all? whimpers
    Thanks.

    Having a USB port is not all you need. It's just one piece.
    Is the car radio 'iPod Ready'?
    The radio needs to be aware that it is an iPod connected to it, and not just some USB storage device which has MP3 files on it.

  • Any adapters to connect ipod in a car via bottom port?

    I recently bought an 80gb ipod and want to mount it in my car using only rca inputs (not FM or cassette adaptors) and hopefully charge it at the same time. I'd prefer to accomplish this from the bottom port to make a nice and clean install.
    So is there a product that connects to the bottom port, and has a cigarette lighter plug & a set of rca leads?
    I have found one connector that comes close, but it is a hard-wire setup and costs $60-ish. It is made by the top link, lower has an image:

    Hey DanH, thanks for the reply. Looks like they make nice stuff, but my HU is old and has no control option. I've heard that the HU navigation stinks anyway. I'll poke adound the site a bit more, it is all getting quite tedious!
    Here is the closest I've been able to find:

    My old HU does not have rca inputs, which is why I bought the PIE interface that taps into the cd changer. I was hoping to avoid buying a second adapter (total costs of 2 adapts=$100).
    *Do you use a case or sleeve on yours to protect it? They seem to be fingerprint magnets!

  • IPod no longer connecting to the car

    My iPod touch has stopped connecting to the car. It says it does not support this accessory, the car says no audio files. It has been fine for months. I have reset and restarted the iPod. I've tried my iPad with the car and that's still fine so it must be the iPod rather than the car. I started it playing an audio book this morning it it wasn't in the right place in the chapter so I unplugged it to alter the chapter position, when I reconnected it, it just wouldn't do anything. Any help would be gratefully received. Thank you.

  • Will Wifi-sync on iOS5 start if I have my iPod connected to my car when I pull onto my drive in wifi range?

    Will Wifi-sync on iOS5 start if I have my iPod connected to my car when I pull onto my drive in wifi range?

    Well iOS 5 helps you sync with your computer wirelessly when connected to a power supply and on wifi.
    iOS 4 should allow you to have automatic downloads from your account with iTunes rather than from your computer.
    Just go to settings>store and turn on automatic downloads and it will do what you want whether it's plugged in or not as long as you're on wifi.

  • Does apple make a product to connect an iphone 4 to a car stereo

    Does Apple make a product to connect the Iphone 4 to a car stereo?

    I don't think Apple makes anything aside from the usual "aux" cables discussed above, but I've had good luck with a Motorola T505. It's a small device that you clip on your car's visor. It pairs to the iPhone via Bluetooth, then transmits the output to an open FM frequency that you tune in on your car stereo. So you can play music from your phone thru the car stereo, and it automatically pauses when you get an incoming call, you can carry on your phone conversation hands-free, then the music will resume once your call is completed. It's pretty neat.

  • I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my car from my new iPod Classic. Has anyone encountered this problem?

    I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my cars from my new iPod classic. The song name artist display on the console in the car but no audio. This is happening on 2 cars - Nissan Rogue and Acura TL. My older iPod classic played fine in these cars. Has anyone encountered this issue?  

    I have a similar problem with a 160 gb Classic, about 5 years old - if I move the plug one channel may be heard and tehn the other. The interface works but not the sound. Different ipods eg nano work perfectly.
    The two cars I have are an Audi and a BMW and both have manufacturer connectors

  • Connecting iPod video to Blaupunkt car stereo

    Blaupunkt sells an adapter to connect iPods to their car stereo. Part number: 7607540500. It is compatible with the factory (Blaupunkt sourced) car stereo of my Fiat Panda model year 2005. The car stereo 'sees' the iPod as a Blaupunkt CD changer. It works well with the previous iPod but absolutely no-one can tell me if will work with the current video iPod that I'd like to purchase.

    I talked to Blaupunkt support in the states and they say that they are aware of the problem! Now what kind of an answer is that? I agree with you, Blaupunkt should get on this problem and fix it. Blaupunkt catalog actually states that the Ipod interface works with any Blaupunkt head unit with CDC control since 1998+. On the interface box it says 2001+. The simple fact is they should get there "stuff" together and fix it!

  • I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

    I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

    does that mean I can not buy a movie or tv show  from itunes and watch it on my car tv through my iphone? Does that also mean I can not watch any video even the ones I take via the iphone camera? That makes no sense, f that is true what is the rational? And how come it works from the IPOD?
