Can I connect my iPad Pro 2018 to my old Apple iPod hifi via the aux in? If so what kind of audio adapter do I need from usb c to 3.5 jack? Also the voltage into the aux input is 2 volts. Thanks all, mad though it seems, I wish to keep my old Apple iPod hifi going!

If your speaker system has a 30-pin dock connector, it is really old - dating back to the older hard-disk based iPod with a click wheel.
The only way to get audio to such an old system from your iPad, will be an analogue audio connection - and given your explanation will be via a 3.5mm jack. The Adapter to which I provided a link incorporates a DAC - converting the digital audio from the iPad USB-C to an analogue signal.

I’m not sure that your post makes a huge amount of sense - as an iPod is a small music player device, the most recent being the iPad Touch that resembles a small iPhone.
Your iPad USB-C can be adapted to output audio using an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter:
Thanks I have one of the big old Apple all-in-one speaker systems A1121 I think, designed for the old 30 pin iPods; love the thing even runs off D cell batteries:) as well as mains. Old iPods long gone all music now on iPad Pro 2018. Just want to see if I can breathe life into what is now a classic and rare old Apple speaker. Completely bonkers I know but fun and no voice control:)))).
Hope this explains.
Thanks,

Update on old iPod HIFI. Got hold of a LAYEN I-dock 4.1 Bluetooth adapter today. It is 30 pin so the old Apple Hifi powers it no problem. Paired with my iPad Pro 2018 first time and I have never heard better from Bluetooth. Am mostly bedridden the days so to have my wonderful music so easily available is simply a joy:). I had forgotten what a pleasure this speaker is to listen to over extended periods. I will try your method very soon. Thanks for your kind help. Guess I am just an old dinosaur who likes to keep old things going:::))).
Thanks, much appreciated.
Delighted to learn that you’ve found a good solution for your needs - and wireless too!
