Using my 60GB black ipod in my car

i recently purchased this ipod, and decided to get the silver dlo docking/charging system for my car. this is the one that you simply plug into the power outlet, where a cig lighter normally is. everything works fine, except for the tiny detail that its not corresponding with my equally expensive sound system (amp and woofers). i'm not sure what the problem is, but hopefully it is something simple. i just wanted some feedback before i took it to my audio guy. anybody have any suggestions?

I too have DLO Docking cradle and a 60GB Black pod. Mine works great. I tried a number of different FM transmitters and docks prior to the DLO.
I recently had a variety of rental cars and found that while the DLO offered a rich full sound with my Mustang, a Mazda mini-van and was fine with a KIA, it was okay with a Porsche Boxtser, lousy with a Dodge Durango, and just a tad better with a Nissan Xtreme. My conclusion was that it depends on the vehicle. The physical distance to the radio seemed to have some effect in the vehicles when there was not ideal transmission.
Since you have amps and woofers (and an audio guy!) I think I would opt for the hardwired plug in that goes directly to your audio system. But failing that, yeah, it sounds like there is an internal issue with your stereo that prevents the reception of the signal. The alternative, of course, is to keep buying different FM transmitters until you find the optimal combination for your vehicle. That's what I did.
Good luck!

Connecting ipod nano to car radio

i have 2 ipods ,one is one of the first ones made,wich i have played on my car radio ,just plug in the cable that charges ,and away,the second is a 3rd gen ipod nano,when i plug this into my car stereo jack it just says you must eject before disconnecting ,then the radio comes on and the ipod is at its normal screen,but cannot play thru car stereo,what can be wrong ?

are you sure you plugged it into the stereo jack??? because the ipod sees no difference in headphones and a car aux stereo jack to a car .... sounds like you are using something that plugs into a car lighter port... what device are you using to connect the ipod to your car?

How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging? I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5 mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work on the ipod.

How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging? I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work with the ipod (although it does work with an MP3 player). My ipod is a 5th generation 80GB classic.

I know this is old - but did you ever get this working. Thinking of getting a 780 ti card and I have an older mac with the mini-displayport too.

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But wont work anywhere now

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But won't work anywhere now. I tried re-setting but has not worked. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

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.

Best way to use iPod in the car?

Is there any consensus on the best way to use your iPod in the car? I have used the Belkin Car Kit with the cassette tape for over a year with my 20GB iPod and I really like it. It keeps my iPod charged and the sound quality is really pretty good I think. Now I have gotten a 30GB video iPod for my wife and want to find out what people feel is the best product for car use before I start buying her any accessories.
Thanks.

I concur with T-squared. The Kensington 33185 is simple to use and the sound quality has been excellent. I bought it just last Friday and it has seen me through numerous holiday roadtrips over the past week. It charges and has three presets; I can recommend 89.7 or 106.5 FM when you're in the Philadelphia/Princeton area. :->

Using the Ipod with a car stereo head unit interface

I have a Kenwood stereo head unit with a kca-ip500 interface for the ipod in my car so I can control the ipod through the head unit.
I was using my mothers old Ipod Nano with it and it was great because when you turn the car off, the song would pause and then when you start your car again, the song would continue on.
Now that I have my own Ipod, the 6th generation Nano, the ipod does not automatically turn on when i start the car unless it was on not long ago. Meaning the ipod turns itself off eventually and the next day when i drive my car I have to pull the ipod out of the glove box and turn it back on. I did not have to touch my mothers ipod, it just automatically turned on for me.
Any way around this so the ipod automatically turns on when it is fed power???

You did not answer my question, was it a firmware update for you iPod or you radio.
Firmware updates for iPods are done through iTunes, did they send instructions on how you were supposed to load it?
What was the filename?

Problem with using my iPod in my car

My Acura has a USB cord so I can play my iPod through my car speakers quite easily. SInce I have a navi screen am able to see the iPod screen on my dashboard. EVerything works great except for one thing - Podcasts.
For some reason the podcasts don't show up on the screen and I cannot play them. I can play music, but no podcasts.
ANy ideas on how I can listen to podcasts?

my only idea would be convert copies of the podcasts to audio files (if they aren't protected files you should be able to use FFmpegX to do this). Sorry I can't be more helpful.

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?

Using ipod in the car

I am going to buy my husband a new video ipod for Valentine's Day. He says that he has a buddy that can listen to his ipod over his car stereo over an FM transmitter or something like that. Can anyone tell me if that is a built in ability in the fifth generation ipods, or will I have to purchase something additional. Thanks for any help!

I use the following Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Auto Charger and LOVE IT (bought it at the Apple Store)!!

Not only can you listen to the iPod, but it will charge at the same time. I use it in a major city with a lot of stations and have had little to no static using this product.

Has anyone else used the WireTunes Axxess IPOD Car Kit?

I have recently installed this hookup in my vehicle. it's pretty cool and works well. it displays the song title and info on my xm ready stereo. The only problem i have is when i skip to the next song it skips one too many and skips over the next to the next song. Does anyone have this product and have you had similar problems?

that is true Angela...toyota uses the same unit for all the cars...the only issue they seem to have is when trying to integrate with the toyota's that have the factory NAV system, or the built in 5 disk changer in the dash.. I think the most flexible unit that I have found is this one....
http://www.sounddomain.com/item/USSPA11TOY
It allows you to use 2 different modes, one being direct control from the iPod, none of the others that I have found allow you complete control from the head unit, they all seem to want you to make up multiple playlists and treat those lists as a CD's in a trunk mounted cd changer...which to me seems a bit clunky.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
