Confused. How to play my Ipod thru the radio? I plug this in the lighter and plug the cord into the AUX and it automatically plays thru AUX not radio

I have had this for almost a year. Never was able to get it to work with radio. I just use the audio cable instead.

Don't use the aux cable. Use the ipod cable to connect the ipod only and then plug the unit into cig lighter. Make sure to select radio station number on unit and use that same number on radio. Works perfectly ;)

You must sync the FM station on the wireless transmitter with the one on radio. Takes several trials with various stations to get best match.

I use the Aux In port to connect my IPod to the system. I then push the Source button to select the IPod and I can play my IPod through the speaker system.

the aux input doesn't exactly work so well on the jukebox, unless its just a problem with mine i can never get it to work. try finding an adapter that has an input of the old apple plugs and then an output of the new lightening plug, then you can get the bonus of charging your devices as well

You control it through ipod iPad iPhone not Toyota radio. Once plugged in you put radio on disc with no cd in radio and from there select what you want to play on iPod. Only control on radio is volume

Yes it plays through the car speakers, you just plug it into a cigarette lighter outlet in your car. change it to a certain station and it should play. It doesn't charge your phone because it just plugs into the headphones hole on the phone. But it does have a thing on the top of it where you can plug in your own cord and you could charge your phone that way. You'll just have two cords go to your phone.

There is a USB from the back so you should be able to plug your IPOD cable into it and control it with the IPOD. Read the instructions on the Alpine web site the see how to switch it from head unit control to IPOD. Should work fine.

Lighter port = charge, Aux port = audio. So, you can charge but you can't play your music in the car radio.

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.

If you have an auxilliary jack on your car stereo system, you can play any portible mp3 player on your car stereo. You just plug one end of the cord into the headphone jack of your player and the other end into the auxilliary jack of your car stereo. Then you set your car stereo to AUX. My husband had this kind of stereo installed in my truck for me. Works great! I can listen to anything that's on my mp3 player and not have to carry CD's around.

Actually, I had not tried it. I use the 3.5mm input. So I tried a generic MP3 player, an iPod Classic, and a USB stick that I dumped some songs onto. Not only does it not auto-play when turned on, I can't get it to play at all! The LED next to the USB port blinks as if it's playing, and stops blinking when you hit pause, but no sound ever happens. Not good. I don't need that feature at all, but I suggest this is probably not going to do what you need. It's a decent enough amp in all other ways - I use it to play my iPod (analog out) in my work shop and it's fine for that. But I'd avoid this amp for anything fancy like you're asking.

This product comes with three connectors. The first is a USB connector: Using it is not required, but provides charging capabilities to your iPod. The second is the iPod connector: This plugs into the bottom of the iPod and allows for Line Out quality sound. This is required if you want sound from your iPod device. The third cord is an AUX out cord (sorry don't have the length off the top of my head). This must be plugged into something for the sound to be produced. So, short answer: No, an AUX jack is NOT required. Long answer: Unless you just want to charge your iPod, you will need some sound input port on your radio/stereo/speakers ect. What kind of device are you trying to use this with?

I hook it up through the headphone jack on the ipod. Use the cord with the small computer end into the speaker and the skinny headphone jack into the ipod's headphone input.

Hi K. Nabeta, there are two ways for connecting your iPod. One is via the audio in cable (3.5 mm jack) to the headphone jack of your iPod. Secondly is via Bluetooth connection (if your iPod support it). -Ely

Not sure what you mean. The radio works off of regular power or batteries. Your device (phone or iPod) connects via Bluetooth, but this radio does not charge the phone or iPod.

It's a simple plug and play cable. Plug the one end into your car's auxiliary outlet and the other end into your ipod or iPad. Start your car. The music on your device should now play through your speakers. I can control mine via the buttons on my steering wheel or on the dash.

I USED to be able to do that but it no longer is working. I was wondering if it were my iPod but nothing seems wrong with it. Using my iPod to play music through this unit is still working fine but I bought it for the precise purpose of using it as a larger screen for watching videos from my iPod. Anyone have suggestions? I loved it when it was working properly.

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.
