If you want to ‘iPod’ your car – ie pump music from your iPod throughout your vehicle stereo system, you could change to a brand new car which already has iPod integration, like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Volvo, but there are more options open to you as well. If your vehicle doesn’t have iPod connectivity, the answer is to install an adaptor.
An iPod adaptor retailed by firms like Debatable and Monster can be installed in the cave of wires behind your vehicle dashboard, with one prong from the adaptor going to the back of your stereo while another prong goes to an iPod holder close to the front seat of the automobile. The adaptor works like an emulator and tricks the stereo to think it’s a CD changer, so you can use the track buttons on the stereo faceplate to choose songs.
Installing an iPod adaptor may be exasperating for the non-mechanically inclined, and the services of a trained engineer could be simpler. If your car is too decrepit, the factory installed stereo won’t be acceptable for iPod integration. For such vehicles, it is recommended to install a new player from makers like Alpine, Kenwood and Pathfinder.
If sound quality is critical to you, the employment of iPod cassette adaptors isn’t advised as the sound quality is not quite adequate, and just as noticeably, they don’t recharge the iPod’s battery.
With these issues, the iPod cassette adaptor and the FM modulator are not the best options, and it is still the iPod adaptor that we recommend. To help your personal research and to find out what iPod integration is most suitable for your model of vehicle, there are online catalogues from auto audio online websites so your primary step is to find the iPod integration you wish for your auto and get the correct adaptor. Before long, you will be pumping your iPod tracks through your auto stereo and enjoying your favorite songs.
