Ipod Jacks...

I've recently bought myself an Ipod and I was wondering how to link it so I can hear it through my car Speakers? Any suggestions?

Connects2 have two applications for the Yaris Mk1, they plug in where your 6 CD changer would, one has an AUX and plays only, the other is an iPod connector and charges and plays, theyre on eBay. Or buy an aftermarket headunit with either a USB port, AUX in or iPod specific connection.

Why not just get an i-trip fm transmitter? No messing around, just plug in and play. You should be able to pick a cheap one up for about £20-25.

I would go with the second comment here as at least, in the early days, the connectors caused more problems then they solved! You can also use the latter in different vehicles!!!

I've just bought a Griffin iTrip Auto Car Charger/FM Transmitter for iPod

The only trouble is is that whenever I use my radio all I hear is static and find it difficult to tune into a station so will this work? Should have asked this question before I bought the thing really...

I had a FM transmitter before I got my aftermarket headunit, it was good while it lasted, you can never escape the white noise/radio interference though, and then the charging cable on mine broke, and without it, your iPod Battery doesnt last long!

I had a cheap tesco's fm transmitter (£10) which worked great and had no white/background noise with the right application! ;) Basicly, turn the volume on your iPod all the way down so that you'd barely be able to listen to it with headphones, and then jack the volume up on the stereo. Just make sure you turn it back down before you switch back to the tuner! :P

Best thing for avoiding radio interference is to note down all the frequencies of your local and national stations and search for a frequency which is furthest away from all of this. Create a preset for this tuning on your stereo and (assuming your transmitter can also do this) create one on the transmitter. Unless you're unlucky enough to live in an area with very little difference in frequencies between stations, should work a treat. Stick to the lower frequencies - seems to work better for some scientific reason. Anyone know why this is? :S

However good I think it was however, it broke fairly quickly after heavy use. I think you pay for what you get when looking at transmitters.

Hope that helps! :)
