Tips And Advices - Hook Up an iPod to a Car Stereo

Visit your nearest electronics supply store like Best Buy or visit the place where you originally purchased your iPod and look for a cassette adapter. These are made specifically for the iPod. Plug one end into your iPod and push the cassette into the tape deck of your stereo.

Use a wireless transmitter from your favorite electronics store. Set your stereo to a specific frequency and attach the transmitter to your iPod. You'll hear the music coming through your speakers.

Upgrade to a newer car stereo if you currently have an older car. There are dozens of radios on the market today that allow you to plug your iPod directly into the radio. Ask a sales clerk at the car radio department for help finding a radio that will play your iPod.

Look for a dock adapter connector from the electronics store. These attachments work with most modern car stereos and allow you to plug in your iPod to play over the speakers. Many stores won't allow you to return these, so make sure the connector works with your stereo before you open the package since.

Have a professional install an auxiliary jack onto your car stereo or somewhere on your car where it's easily accessible. Once you have the auxiliary jack you can plug the end of your iPod cable right into the stereo.
