Can I play music from my iPod through my new car 's stereo?

My new car doesn't seem to want to connect to my iPod with all my music. It has worked on previous car stereos but won't show up on this latest system.

What type of iPod do you have?


If it is an iPod Touch, you might be able to connect it to a CarPlay-equipped car.

I believe that every iPod has a headphone jack. Your car stereo might have a 3.5mm audio input port. If not, there are third-party devices that will plug into a headphone jack such as

  • FM transmitters
  • BlueTooth transmitters
  • Adapters with a 3.5mm plug on one end, and a fake Compact Cassette on the other
