I just purchased a new vehicle, and my iPod is not recognized when I plug into the usb port. It also does not display my album artwork. Is there a more current device I can purchase to connect to my vehicle and play my music?
iPod nano (7th Gen)

Bluetooth audio is probably the most common choice, and an increasing number of Infotainment systems offer Apple CarPlay.
Most infotainment systems will play from iPhone via Bluetooth or CarPlay, and many from iPod touch or iPad via Bluetooth.
Various infotainment systems will play directly from USB flash drives, though the format of the files and directories stored there needs ro be set up as expected for the infotainment system.
