Playing Your MP3 Player in Your Car-Using The Video iPod Car Kit?

Executive Summary by Mike Singh

Some of the more popular ways to listen to music in the automobile is through the car’s FM/AM radio with a CD player.

With most of the online reviews about MP3 players referring to iPods, it would be good to look at the Neo iON, the nano iPod and Apple iPod car adapters, which provide a direct connection to the car stereos – both factory and aftermarket. The Neo iON is considered the best iPod car adapter kit that is available to the public because when it is connected, the auto’s stereo buttons will control the iPod – the iPod batter will charge – and the sound will play from the auto’s stereo speakers. Pretty simple.

This kit is compatible with the Apple iPod 3rd and 4th generation, iPod Photo, iPod Mini, and the nano iPod MP3 players. The requirement for the car is to have a CD player in it, for the Video iPod car kit to attach its 11.5″ cable directly into the iPod or nano. The BMW offers a similar car kit, for about $149 plus $150 installation, at their local dealership.

There are a few other options for playing your MP3 player in your car. The adapter plugs into the player and a mock cassette goes into the player, giving a great sound and music selection received from the digital audio player.

Next, a person could go with an FM transmitter that wirelessly plays the MP3 player through a local FM station. Most FM transmitters transmit the signal through a few specific frequencies.
