I pod adapter for Car stereo question

[Frisco playa]

is there any adapters for the i pod to control the bass and volume control for a car stereo system? Because I have my i pod connected to my amplifier, but theres no way to adjust the bass from there. Only if i mess wit the bass on my amp, but thats too much of a hassle messing wit bass control all the time on my amp.

there are things you can use to control the volume....there are remotes that will work with ipod by either connecting to the dock or (if its a 2, 3, or 4g) connecting to the little thing next to the headphone jack. your best bet though, would be to just connect it to your car stereo. either run a line in or get one that you can attach a dock connecter.

Why would you have it plugged into your amp? There are several adapters to plug into your deck whether it's an auxilary input or an RF modulator that plugs in to the FM input and daisy chains with the antenna. Do you have a factory head unit?? Post up your stereo.

Why don't you adjust the equalizer on the ipod settings until it sounds good in the whippersnapper ?

He has it inputted into his amp, adjusting the bass on the ipod won't work well because songs vary and his amp isn't sitting at arms reach when he is driving.....

Ahhhh tough one, I'd go with a fm modulator, not a fm transmitter.

I bought this one a while back. It's got a USB port right in the front and all I gotta do is plug in my Creative Zen Micro and it's on. Controls the mp3 right from the remote or buttons.

right on liquid for the help, ill prolly just end up buying a new deck with the usb in the front

^since you have an ipod you don't need to look for one with a usb input, because there are several that have attachments for ipods. pioneer & alpine both have add ons that will allow you to attach the ipod thru the dock connector. I'm sure there are several others too.

cant u just RCA that mug to the back of ure stereo and just put it in Aux

 

[Likwid]

That's if he has a RCA input. They sell adapters that go into your CD Changer input that provide an ipod interface. Don't change decks, you really don't have to. I'll find the adapter for you...

This is all you need.

It's an FM modulator like I mentioned earlier. Now you know where your car antenna plugs into your deck? Well all you have to do is unplug your antenna, and instead plug in the FM Modulator. Then plug your antenna into the FM Modulator. The Modulator will give you that RCA input that you need. You can then just run an auxillary to RCA wire back to the modulator, just tuck it good so it looks nice. Then just plug the aux end into your Ipod. It's not as complicated as I may have made it look lmfao.

whats wrong with itrip?.... cuz thats what i use

 

[Defy]

^the original itrip's suck.....the ones that went into the headphone jack & the little remote thing thats next to the headphone jack.....you can only put the volume from 50-75% and you have to download stations into the ipod.....that shit was gay and I was hella mad that I wasted my time stealing it......I mean buying, buying I said.....now they make ones that plug into the dock connection, so I guess they're better since the station selector is on the actual itrip....but fm transmitters should be a last resort

 

[Hyfeeboy]

awwww last resort lol .... i would get an ipod ready deck ... but my deck is a stolo, i dont want to get a new deck and bestbuy wouldnt know how to install it because so many wires and stuff was stripped and stuff.. do you think bestbuy can still install another deck?

 

[Likwid]

They can do it nomatter what. Even if your wires are fucked up. Might cost a bit more.
