indosnm 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 just get itrip. From any mac shop. It sends a fm frequency to your selected fm channel. It does eat ya battery so i would suggest buying a car adapter kit ( ciggy lighter adapter) aswell. just look on amazon.co.jp they have all the accessories. if you don't understand J look on the apple.com site first to read about each product Link to post Share on other sites

damian 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Quote: Originally posted by veronica: Sorry to be silly, but are this it? hai, that are it. I own both of them. The iTrip lets you tune the car radio into the iPod (iTrip is a little radio transmitter). The car charge is vital as well. There are a few types of tuners. DO NOT get the Belkan. The Griffin Technologies iTune is good, I like mine. You can also buy an all in one unit that attaches to you're A/C vent: It has a dock for the vPod, and built in radio transmitter plus plugs into the ciggy lighter. They look handy for an all in one and give great access to the iPod when driving. The last thing you want is your iPod sliding around the car everytime you go round a corner. Putting it unprotected in the center console is a bad move as it will get scratched. The A/C vent dock is the best solution. I will buy one for the times that I rent cars.

veronica 2 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 So is this the one you mean, Griffin Oh its all so complex. (If only some kind person will send me links directly to the best ones so I can just click and buy) Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 The pictures in your first post are exactly what I have. You can buy that stuff at online at Griffin Tech. Buy the iTrip and any ciggy lighter charger. Or, buy a tape deck style of car kit if you do not want to use the radio and have a tape player in your vCar. Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 0 Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I've only started downloading fairly recently, until then it was 100% paid for. Now about 75% paid for. Its addictive this downloading thing. Link to post Share on other sites

IIIII 2 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 That radio thing - whats the sound like? And how does it work, just turn on the radio and turn on your pod? Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I have 0 experience with these gadgets but I would bet thousands that the quality is only as good as fm radio which isnt too hot. In most cars that wouldnt matter because of speaker quality If you do have a nice stereo and want some nice sound then the best bet might be to just plug it into the aux in (if ther is one) or get a in dash dsp or eq and plug it into that. If your a bit of a cowboy you might be able to plug it directly into the amp if you only have one. Link to post Share on other sites
