When people say they listen to thier iPod in the car, are they listening to it through the ear buds, or can you connect it to the car speaker, like a discman.
If so how? Does the iPod come with a connector? or can you buy one to play through the car?
Thankyou!

There are different ways of listenning to your ipod in the car. If you have a cassette player, the simplest solution is to buy a cassette adapter. Put the cassette in the deck and plug the other end in the headphone jack of the ipod. That's what I did. For me, the sound is good enough. For best results, put the sound level on the ipod past the 3/4 mark, and then adjust the sound in the car from your car radio.

If you look at Apple's online store, they actually sell this cool device call the iRock. I just saw it for the first time myself. Apparently, you plug the iRock into your iPod's headphone jack, tune the gadget to one of 4 preset FM frequencies, then tune your car radio's FM frequency to the same setting. Then the iPod play's through your car radio (and technically any nearby radio tuned to that frequency). Not sure if it works, but sounds cool.

What deck are you looking at, price, brand. I need to buy a deck this week for my rabbit convertible and I was going with a tape daeck but I was looking at a CD deck along with this converter box with AUX in, I think it was kenwood, any way it was going to be 150 for the Cd deck and 40 for the converter box, so almost double that of a casset deck, sitll not to sure on what I am going to do.

Most AIWA decks come with AUX ports and I've been very happy with my AIWA CD player.

I have a cd / mp3 player with aux in, in my car, and I hooked the ipod up to it with simple stereo to headphone jack adapter cable. I wasn't thrilled. You do have to turn the sound way up, and it's still not the same. I get much better sound burning an mp3 cd and playing it direct. Same thing with my home stereo. I think what's lacking is an amp. The ipods great for what it does, but it can't put out BIG sound.

that is the one brand I will stray away from, I just don't know, I just don't like what they produce seems really really cheap quality, never have and never will own anything AIWA, sorry.
