How to Connect Your iPod to Your Car
posted by FindGasCards.comThe Ipod is the latest and greatest thing that has come to audio since the beginning of music. Who would have thought that you could cram thousands of songs on such a little device? While the Ipod and other related devices gain popularity, car manufactures are starting to catch on offering great gadgets that enable you to connect your Ipod to your vehicle.
Today, I want to show you some ways on how you can directly connect your Ipod or MP3 player to your car, so that you can listen to it through your car’s stereo.
Directly connect the MP3 player
If you have a newer model when it comes to cars, you may already have an auxiliary jack. It will usually have the letters “AUX” above it. In order to connect your Ipod to your stereo directly, you will need to buy an aux cable. These can be purchased for as little as $2. In my opinion, this is the fastest and best way to hook up your Mp3. You’re not only going to get the best sound, you won’t get any static interference.
Play through your radio
Your car may not have the AUX hook up and that’s okay, because there are other ways of hooking up your player to your car. As long as you have a radio that plays the FM dial, you’ll want to consider getting a FM transmitter. A few great companies like Griffin and Belkin offer them. There’s a big selection when it comes to choosing a FM transmitter.
Directly connect it
This option is for those that either know a lot about tearing about radios and installing them, or those that want to get it professionally installed. The direct connection is one of the best ways since it will directly connect to your radio. Generally, you’ll need a CD player that functions with the Ipod hookup. This way, you’ll be able to run the kit through the radio itself. Check out some of the direct kits online, but keep in mind it’s the hardest one to do, as well as install.
These are by far the 3 top ways of installing your MP3 player when it comes to playing it through your car’s speakers. Look over these options and see which one best suits you and your vehicle.
