Ipod Video Guide

msc44 asked:

I drive a Mitsubishi Eclipse 2007 and it has a pretty nice factory audio system with an am/fm/6-cd head unit, 10-inch woofer and mp3 disk capabilities. One thing which is conspicuously missing is an audio jack for an mp3 player or satellite radio.

While there is no “AUX” button, when I cycle through the inputs with the steering wheel controls, an AUX option appears. I cannot find any audio jack anywhere in the car and the manual does not have any information of it. I figure this is just a mistake or something that couldn’t be engineered around.

My real problem is that I want to hook up my mp3 player to my car but what most of my friends use is an fm radio adapter but it always provides lackluster sound quality with intermittent interference.

Is there a higher powered fm adapter that you recommend or is there another option for me to hook up my mp3 player?

Apparently there is a button combination of some sort, or some secret way where you can use your ipod to search through music instead of having the alpine cd player do it for you. The alpine cd player uses a dial to search through music, and we all know that searching through music on a Ipod is much faster and a little more convenient.

Ive heard its possible but i couldnt find a site that where someone was talking about it. It has something to do with holding down 3 buttons of some sort, im not really sure.

But it just runs off your Ipod and still acts like its running off your cd player so you wont lose the sound quality like you would using a auxiliary cable or something else of that sort.

Anyone have any idea!?

I want to install an aftermarket stereo in my new car but i am planning to use an MP3 player to listen to my music in the car. What should I look for in a new stereo that would allow me to easily do this? I dont have an ipod and am not planning to buy or use one with my new stereo, my mp3 player would just be a regular one. I have seen aftermarket stereos with auxilary inputs in the front but most of them have them in the rear. Is this what I would use to connect my mp3 player to? does anybody listen to their mp3s in their cars a different way or have any ideas?

I heard that an ipod ready head unit with a cable connect to an ipod is the best method for playing the ipod in the car. I was just wondering how the sound quality is, bass, treble, etc…
Im hoping that it is just as good as listening through headphones.

I’m looking to buy a good sounding high quality car kit or wireless fm modulater for a new Ipod nano, if it could charge the ipod that would be great too. I hear alot of them have interference and static I want a good one not just a cheap crappy one.
