Can I play the songs on my iPod through my car stereo?
Before you answer, I am thinking of getting the new Apple nano iPod. Problem is, my car is a new Jeep Grand Cherokee which means it has no cassette player, only an in-dash CD player and 10-disc changer in the back. I have a friend who has some cassette they attach to their iPod and play it that way, but since I don't have a cassette player in my car...is there any way I can play the songs on my iPod through my car stereo, even though I have no cassette player?

1. You can get an FM Modulator, which plays through a radio station.
But, those aren't the greatest thing in the world either.

There are stereo companies that make compatible head units (I think Alpine is one). But that's a more expensive option.

4. I went to the Apple store and got one of the cassette adapters
They also had the CD and FM things.

The cassette thing was good enough for my trip, though the adapter itself started clicking a bit in the cassette player.

5. griffin itrip, i have one for my ipod mini
it's wireless, the trick is to tune you fm radio to the station with the most static. you can get them at bestbuy or any other electronics place. I bought mine online from www.macconnection.com and saved some money.

6. ask the dealer if there is an AUX input
my car stereo has an input on the back specifically for plugging in an external device, like an iPod. I just had to have my mechanic plug a cable into it and run it out around the console, so I can plug my iPod in directly to the stereo and just select the AUX setting on the stereo. Pretty sweet.
