Using my ipod shuffle together with my car stereo

I tried to use a normal cable o listen to my ipod shuffle in the stereo I have in my car and it didn't work. Is there a special cable or it only works with the its own headset?

Hi-
From the Apple Support site http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3472:
When a standard headphone or audio accessory is connected, you can initiate audio playback by simply switching iPod shuffle from the OFF position to the play in order or shuffle position. The iPod shuffle should be in the OFF position for at least three seconds before switching it back on. iPod shuffle will resume playback of the content that was previously being played at a fixed volume level. This volume level cannot be adjusted from the iPod itself. If iPod shuffle is connected to external speakers or a car stereo, volume adjustment may be possible from those devices.
iPod shuffle will pause audio playback when the device is switched off or when the audio accessory is disconnected
Hope this helps

  • Working iPod 5th Gen with Alpine Car Stereo CMA9855

    Hi
    Just wondering whether anyone has tried using the latest iPod with Alpine Car Stereo CMA 9855 with an iPod interface.
    Problem - not all artists show up on the stereo screen + can't get quick search to work. Is it an alpine stereo software problem?
    Appreciate any feedback.

    I have a Clarion Pro Audio deck/Clarion IPOD connector. My system worked great up until IPOD SW 1.2.
    Before, I could control the IPOD on the face of the IPOD. Now, the IPOD works, but it's in locked mode, so I can't browse artists/albums any more. Baiscally, I have to hit RANDOM TRACK mode, and hope I land on a CD I'm in the mood for.
    Very frustrating, although GAPLESS is great. (FINALLY!!!!)

  • Using iPod Shuffle 4G with Tiger

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help? I want to use my iPod Shuffle 4th gen with an old iMac G5 running Tiger. I know it should not sync but am I right in thinking I can use the iMac to charge it from the USB when my laptop (which is running Snow Leopard) is away from home?
    Syncing would be good too if anyone knows a way around this problem.
    Thanks

    Spotify can sync a 4th gen shuffle on Tiger. You need to get the shuffle going on another ITunes 10 machine first and get spotify to do it's magic later.

    Is there an AUX port?  If so, you can by the necessary auxillary cable.  It won't work with the USB port connection.

  • How do I download and install itunes software to use an ipod shuffle?

    I recently purchased an Ipod shuffle and, not being familiar with downloading and computer products, am having difficulties figuring it out.  I clicked on the download button, then after less than a minute it went to another screen that said it was downloaded and that was it.  I found the download in my download file but there was no instructions or button to install it.  Can someone please give me some step by step instructions on what I am to do so that I can start using my ipod shuffle.
    Thanks,

  • Can I use my iPod Shuffle as a U-disk ?

    I plugged my iPod Shuffle into the USB socket and it worked properly with my iTune. However, I couldn't find my iPod in window explorer. Is it normal ? Can I use it as Udisk ?
    iPod Shuffle   Windows XP  

    Hi,
    If you are able to listen to the songs from the iPod shuffle then it is normal.
    To use the iPod shuffle as a USB disk, in iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > click on iPod (make sure that the iPod shuffle is connected to the computer)
    then check the option "Enable Disk Use" and slide the slider to the left or right depending upon the data you want to store in the iPod shuffle.
    Post back if you have any doubts.

  • Does the dock from a fourth generation ipod shuffle work with a second generation ipod shuffle?

    Does the dock from a fourth generation ipod shuffle work with a second generation ipod shuffle?

    No, they are different.  If you look at the replacement part for the 4th gen shuffle's USB cable

    it says it's only for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.

  • Can i use my ipod 7th generation with a bose dock

    can i use my ipod 7th generation with a bose doc
    k?

    All of the Bose Dock I see listed online have the 30 pin connector. The iPod 7th Gen has a Lightning connector.
    So you would need a 30 pin to Lightning adaprt that would make for a rather percarious mounting of the iPod.
    I would recommend against it unless you can find one with the Lightning connector.

  • Can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

    can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

    If you old charger is a USB (+5V output) it will work. If it is a Firewire charger (+12V) then I think it will still work, but Apple has removed Firewire charging from most of the new iPod lines including the iPhone and 4th Generation Nano. However I think that the 120GB Classic may be the last iPod to still charge off Firewire chargers.
    It won't hurt anything to try it. If it doesn't work, you will get a screen display that states that the accessory is not supported or something to that effect.
    Good luck,

    You should always have your apps on your computer.  If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
    Sorry.
    Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models
