Using ipod nano with car stereo?

sorry if this is a blonde question, but I have just got a new (to me) car which has a sony gtx cd300 stero in with an ipod connection. Ive bought a new ipod nano, plug it in, nano says "OK to disconnect". stereo display does not seem to recognise. Dont suppose anyone can advise me? Nano works fine on its own. stereo works fine as cd and tuner, just cant get it to work with the ipod? arrgh! Very very grateful for any help or advice. Kind regards Lindsay

As long as your headset is 3.5 mm jack, you can use it with your ipod. Same goes with an auxilliary cable to your car if it is not bluetooth enabled.

Using IPOD 60 with Car stereo RCA inputs

I plugged my Ipod into the RCA/AUX jacks of my car stereo. It plays but only through the rear speakers.
The cord Im using is a phono to rca (used with a portable DVD player).

Switch the Yellow and Red contacts. Apple does this for some reason...

Using ipod nano with car

I just received a new ipod 16gb, which has a new charger. How can I use this in my car, which has ipod connectivity using the old plug? How can I use it in my skullcandy speakers, which use the old plug?

Can one use the iphone with car stereo systems as one does an ipod?

My car has a "jack" for mpegs/ipod to interlace with the existing stereo. Is there an accessory that will allow me to use my iphone as one would an ipod with such systems?

Dewey Cheatum,
Apple doesn't make most of the adapters out there. Instead Apple provides the specifications so that other manufacturer's can make products that are labeled as "Works with iPhone".
I would contact the manufacturer of the car stereo to see if they have one that is certified by them to meet the "Works with iPhone" standard. If the radio came with the car, then the dealer and car manufacturer would be the resource to utilize.
This link described how manufacturer's can get their products labeled as "Made for iPod" or "Works with iPhone".

Problems with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch with Car Stereos

There are three cars in our family, and every car as a stereo with built-in iPod interfaces. Car 1 has a Pioneer system, Car 2 has a Kenwood, and my car has an Alpine system. I can't hear any audio when I connect an iPod touch or iPhone 3G to the Kenwood and Pioneer systems. They can perform functions on the iPhone/iPod touch, such as change songs, randomize songs, repeat songs, etc, however, there is no audio. 80% of the time the Alpine does the same thing; 10% of the time an error is displayed on the head unit; and 10% the iPod Touch/iPhone works perfectly.
All three systems can operate my iPod Nano correctly without any problems at all. Because the same problem occurs to all the stereos and because the iPod Touch and iPhone are basically the same minus phone capabilities, I am beginning to believe that the problem is with them and not the stereo systems. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how can I fix it if it is fixable?

Which Touch (first or second generation) and which iPhone (2G or 3G)?
And what generation Nano are you testing with.
Your auto systems may not be compatible with the newer generation model iPods/Phones.

Using Ipod Nano with Itrip

I have a question, I recently planned on buying an Ipod mini. I also was getting the Itrip too. So I got most of the money, almost enough for the Ipod so I purchased the Itrip. Now the Ipod Nano has recently replaced the Ipod Mini so im getting it, But..Will the Itrip work with the Ipod Nano? Anyone tried this?
Thanks so much for your help.

Unfortunately, this will not work because the iPod nano does not have the necessary accessory port next to the headphone jack. This is really dumb on Apple's part, because now you have to buy a full size iPod to use accessories like that. I still cannot believe they got rid of the iPod mini. It's one of the dumbest moves Apple has every made.

Using iPod Nano with two Nike+ sensors

Hi,
I have searched your site but cannot find any information regarding my query. I bought an Nike+ sensor and pick-up unit for our iPod nano 3rdG for my wife to use. We have one iPod, one PC and one iTunes account. This has worked great and now I want to start running. My question is if I buy another sensor and pick-up unit will the iPod store the information separately? Will iTunes be able to upload the date to a different Nike+ account? We would not be able to run together I know that. Whenever I run I'll use my sensor and pick-up unit and whenever my wife runs she will use hers. Will this be possible. Thanks

I have a ITouch and I run iTunes on a Mac.
My iTunes keeps track of two different sensors.
I go to my settings "Nike + iPod" menu and turn on and off, them I press "sensor" and link to whatever sensor I am using.
Now when I got to iTunes "Nike + iPod" it shows "sensor 1" and "sensor 2" it also allows me to edit the name of the sensors.
My question is, I want to delete one of the sensors and I don't know how

Using IPod Nano With Klipsch Port

I have played my Ipod Classic on a Klipsch port for years and never had a problem. When I try to play my new IPod Nano on my Klipsch port, I get a strange error message that says something to the effect that "equipment is not compatible to charge Nano." I have no trouble playing my Classic on a port. Can't I play my Nano on a port? Thank you.

Thanks - that explains it. The exact message I get is "Charging is not supported with this accessory" which makes sense based on your reply. Yes, it does play fine from the Klipsch dock. I'll just charge from my computer.

Ipod nano with car kit

I have just fitted an Alpine car kit to play my nano in the car, but although the track info is coming through on the head set, i get no sound!
We've tried another nano and it works fine.
any ideas?

Try turning the volume up on your iPod.
You may also want to reset the iPod while it is connected to the system...

Also, this system connects to your iPod via the dock connector, right?

Using iPod Nano with new computer

So I just got a new laptop and want to transfer all of my songs from my old computer to the new one. I hooked my iPod up to the new computer and it says it can only be authorized to one computer and I could sync and erase it. So I hit the button. Now my iPod has 0 songs or playlists on it. I tried following the steps online to transfer the songs from the old computer to the new one, but it didn't really work. Now I am stuck with an iPod with no songs...please help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you want to use your iPod to transfer the songs to the new computer, you can check this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Or if you can connect your computers with a crossover network cable, you can directly transfer files, including songs, from your old computer to your new computer.
You may also considering getting some third party programs such as YamiPod to help in this task.

Using IPOD nano with multiple PC - song no longer working

I have 2 nanos and 2 PCs. If IPOD 1 buys a song from PC 1 and then buys a song from PC 2, certain songs bought from PC 1 no longer play on NANO 1 --This happens on just one nano, not both. I can then go to PC 1 and drag the song onto Nano 1 again, the song will now play, but only until I put Nano 1 onto PC 2 again. Support could not help me!!! Says it must be the Nano!!

Hi Julhic,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Are both your computers authorized? You might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #93014. Is the song still on your iPod? If not you might want to sync your iPod manually.

My PC hard drive died. My iPod hasa bunch of music on it. I reloaded iTunes on my new drive. Now I can't load any music from iTunes to my iPod without erasing my current content. How do I fix this?

Transfer iTunes purchases by:

Ipod nano with windows98

Is there any possibility to use ipod nano with window 98 ? How ?

How I can know about this? I call to call center but they can't answer me!!!

Does playing my ipod on the car stereo with USB hurt the battery of the ipod?

Just curious if when playing the ipod on the car stereo using the usb plugged into the stereo unit will cause the battery life to shorten since it is seems to be charging the ipod. Or does the ipod have a regulator that stops the charging once the battery is full?

Thank you for the info. I must have gotten a bad ipod, because I only had it for a month and the battery would drain down overnight even with the wifi and bluetooth off. I play it on my stereo unit hooked up with the USB. I didn't think that by doing that it would mess up the battery and cause it to drain quickly in just a month.
