Your audio files are probably in M4A format on your iPod. You probably need to convert them to MP3 files to work with your car radio.

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

Jabra Speakerphone should work fine. At least the one I have is stand-alone, so doesn't need the car to be equipped with bluetooth.

The classic iPod docks on this model. It's what I use to listen to and charge my classic iPod.

I apologize as I am not sure. I have given the device to my husband and he usually has a boom cube attached to it or plays it in the car with an attachment that lets him play it through the car stereo. I am hoping that information may help you a little bit; but once again I do apologize.

No. This device is only for providing power for small devices (laptops, phones). playing music from any device through your car speakers requires both the devices (your car and your Ipod) to be communicating through bluetooth.

If you use a link cable from the speaker of the IPOD to the Speaker Dock, and insert it into the port of the docking station on the back, then push the input button on the Speaker Dock, that should work. (It is the same cable/wire you use to connect your IPOD to a car's stereo system.) There is a port on the docking station that allows you to hook up other devices to the docking station and use its' speakers. Otherwise, I don't know.

Most any MP3 player will work for books. A couple of things you may want to consider --- Where do you plan on downloading your books from? Many libraries have services where you can "check out" downloadable media and listen to books for free. Unfortunately, most of these services DON'T work with Ipods or Zunes. If you plan on using one of these services, check their website for compatibility. I also primarily listen to books on my MP3 player. I had an Ipod Nano (my daughter accidentally lost it!) and it was my favorite. I really miss it and keep trying to convince myself to splurge and buy another. My son has a Creative Zen and it also works well for audiobooks. Some of the lower end, cheaper units are designed primarily for music. With these, it's hard to access a specific track. So, for instance if you're on chapter 20 of a book and accidentally lose your place, then you have to "click" through 20 chapters to get back to where you were. On the better units like the Ipods and the Zen, you can go right to it. (for instance, sometimes I forget to turn the player off when I turn the car off and it's hours ahed of me) If you ever listen to more than one book at a time, make sure it has a bookmark feature. Otherwise you'll lose your place in book 1 when you switch to book 2 and back.

The Icast wireless audio transmitter should work with your system including the Bic speaker. This transmitter works well with your ipod.

This device is just an extender that relocates AUX and USB connections from the back of the head unit.AUX: yes. USB: depends on the head unit. The USB connection on my head unit is designed for iPod/iPhone devices. I can also plug in a thumb drive and the head unit recognizes music files.

Since I have been using it with iPhone, I think you can listen to an iPod. However, you need a power adepter, which is not supplied with the speakers. (The ordinary iPhone power adapter works well.) You just connect the usb cable to the adapter as the power source and use the audio cord supplied with the product to connect the speaker and your iPod. Hope it's helpful!

Sandisk's site has a car charger/FM radio device for it. It's more pricey than $12, but probably works very well.

You can plug in your iPod, because I kept my iPad plugged in on a 10 hour trip. As far as listen to music through your car speakers, it is a source of charging, unless you have the auxilliary jack to allow you to connect through speakers.

If your car has a cassette player there is a simpler solution than the FM transmitter. Cheaper too. Just buy an MP3 to cassette converter. I've been using one for years to listen to my MP3 player in the car. With a 2GB MP3 player I can load enough audio books for a trip from Chicago to North Carolina and back and this adapter is very simple to use. I tried an FM transmitter but it was just too flaky. I wish I could remember the brand. The mp3 to cassette converter is plug and go. Here's one you can get on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007R4LI8/ref=dp_cp_ob_title_2/102-9921782-5352127

Probably not...it won't play anything through my speakers in my car, on my dock, nothing. It charges, and very poorly.

either. I plugged it into the headphone jack on my portable cd player and also thru my HDTV audio output (red & white jack) using an adapter cable that comes with it. Just can't seem to get it to work with my IPOD!!!!

Yes and no. It will work but only with an adapter that is music capable. It converts using the headphone jack. Music is terrible. You would probably be better off using a cable into the speaker input but it will not charge your iPod that way.

The speaker is paired with a transmitter, which also acts as the cradle that the iPod rests in. The transmitter uses a standard minijack cable to connect to the earphone/headphone jack of the iPod. As such, this will work with any normal audio device that you can plug a pair of earphones/headphones into. I sometimes connect the transmitter to my computer speakers.
