If you’d like to ‘iPod’ your vehicle – ie pump music from your iPod into your vehicle stereo system, you could change to a brand spanking new car which already has iPod integration, like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Volvo, but there are way 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 companies like Debatable and Monster can be installed in the cavern of wires behind your automobile 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 is a CD changer, so you can use the track buttons on the stereo faceplate to select songs.

Installing an iPod adaptor may be exasperating for the non-mechanically inclined, and the services of a trained engineer could be easier. If your car is too decrepit, the factory installed stereo won’t be appropriate for iPod integration. For such autos, it is counseled to install a new player from makers like Alpine, Kenwood and Pathfinder.

If sound quality is critical to you, the utilization of iPod cassette adaptors isn’t suggested as the sound quality isn’t quite ok, and just as seriously, they don’t recharge the iPod’s battery.

With these flaws, the iPod cassette adaptor and the FM modulator aren’t the best options, and it is still the iPod adaptor that we suggest. To help your own research and to find out what iPod integration is most suitable for your model of automobile, there are online catalogs from auto audio online websites so your first step is to find the iPod integration you need for your automobile and get the correct adaptor. Before long, you could be pumping your iPod tracks through your automobile stereo and enjoying your fave songs.
