Connect Your Ipod In Your Car
By Phil Tremblay
Most car manufacturers today offer an iPod connection as a standard option in their post 2006 vehicles. If you do not know whether you have this option just look at your radio deck in your car, the standard connection is an auxiliary input.
This would be labeled as \'aux\'. If you have this input you can purchase an auxiliary cable that would run from your iPod\'s headset connector to the auxiliary input on the radio deck. From there it\'s simply a matter of selecting the aux channel from the radio.
For radio decks that do not have this feature there are several options to connect your iPod:
* If you have a cassette player you can purchase a cassette adaptor. This is essentially a typical cassette with a wire attached which is hooked up to the iPod\'s headset jack. The sound quality is a little sub par but it remains clear enough. The cost of an adaptor is generally around $15.
* FM transmitters are adaptors that connect to your iPod from the headset jack and broadcast the music to an available FM radio station. This solution works particularly well in areas where there are not too many radio stations. FM iPod transmitters are not recommended for more urban areas due to the large number of radio stations, and overlapping between stations. They work great for road trips on open roads. The typical cost ranges between $20-$50.
* CD deck with built-in aux input. This is the most cost effective way of installing an iPod in your car without sacrificing quality. CD decks can range anywhere between $50-$1000, the difference being the features and sound quality of the unit. If your goal is simply to connect your iPod a basic model will be more than enough. The sound quality will be crystal clear as though you were listening to a CD in your car.
* Finally you can also have your car dealer, or a third party dealer, hard wire your iPod to your existing radio. This entails running a wire from the back of your radio and having it come out of the glove box compartment. Depending on your vehicle if you have radio controls on the steering wheel you will also be able to control the iPod\'s controls through the steering wheel. On average the cost will be around $150-$200.
