Product DescriptionThe iPod Compatible 3.5mm to Dock Connector Audio Cable allows you to play music from your iPod through your home or car stereo, computer, or notebook. The dock connector sends line level audio out from your iPod, providing better sound quality then when using the headphone jack. The dock connector also allows you to control the volume of your iPod through your stereo or computer instead of having to adjust the volume on the iPod. The lightweight construction makes it easy to take it anywhere you go. Works with iPod Nano 1st Generation, iPod Nano 2nd Generation (aluminum), iPod with color display, iPod with video, iPod Nano 3rd Generation (aluminum), iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod with click wheel, iPod 10GB, 15GB, 20GB, and iPod mini.
great product (Rating: 5 out of 5) I have over 900 albums on my iPod and my car (a Scion) provides a proper iPod interface. Unfortunately, with the single-line-of-text display on the car stereo it is just about impossible to navigate my music effectively. I use this adapter to plug into my car's auxiliary input, so I can use the iPod's click wheel to navigate my music, while taking advantage of this adapter's proper line-out signal from the dock connector.
The result is far superior sound quality to a male-male cable from the iPod headphone jack to the car's aux input, and the convenience of the iPod's outstanding user interface. Drawback is I can't use my steering wheel controls for anything other than volume control. Got it here under the used-and-new link for a very reasonable price.
ipod dock cord works perfectly!! (Rating: 5 out of 5) This is a hard product to find! No one sells it in storefronts in my area. So, I turned to online dealers. Product works awesome; however mine came with no instructions. It took me a minute to figure out that you have to unplug the ear buds before it will send the signal through the wire. SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNPLUG THE HEADPHONES FROM THE HEADPHONE JACK IF YOU WISH TO HAVE THIS DOCK CABLE TO WORK. I may be the only one who didn't know to do this at first, but, in case there is someone else who might get tripped up on this, I hope this helps you. Best Aux Cable for the ipod I've seen!
sturdy (Rating: 5 out of 5) In the past, I've had problems with this kind of a car radio/iPod connection because the wires were too thin and flimsy and wore out quickly. This product has a thick wire that will probably last as long as the iPod (or the car).
Get better sound quality and use your vehicle's controls to adjust the volume (Rating: 5 out of 5) If you have an iPod and want to listen to it while you are driving, you owe it to yourself to get this cable! Prior to using this cable I have used the FM transmitter (fun if you like changing channels and enjoy dealing with bleed thru) as well as using the cable that inserts into the headphone jack of the iPod. While that cable is an improvement over the FM transmitter, it is a bit noisy and the volume controls must be properly adjusted in order to avoid introducing distortion (set the iPod volume at ~3/4 strength then adjust the volume on the car stereo). How does this dock connector cable compare to the headphone out cable? Smokes it!!! Zero noise and all your volume is controlled through your stereo system. Just plug it in and use your controls, including mute, as usual. BTW, you can use it on your home stereo system as well!
iPod Dock Connector (Rating: 5 out of 5) This is so convenient and easy to use! Just plug it into your AUX outlet and you are good to go. The songs sounds just as good as the ear buds - MUCH better then FM transmitter!
