i wouldn't bother even trying, the speaker is not designed for music - it sounds like a Jack Benny radio show - not that I'm old enough to know what that sounded like, but i can imagine it as such lol

It has a line out, not a line in - so no, you can't plug your ipod into it. Good question - I was wondering the same thing. I just started using the 760 and am very happy with it.

Just a quick question. Can you stream music from a Android phone or iphone4 to this GPS?? Is this possible? I was able to connect my Android phone to this GPS but I haven't figure out how to stream music from my phone to the GPS. Anyone has successfully done that? Thanks!

It transmits whatever is playing on my IPod to the car radio. I found that my "classic" IPod works with the device without it being plugged into the car so it should work, for example, at work if you want to play the audio from IPod on your FM radio in the office.

I put my ipod on shuffle and just hit next and it doesn't play the next song in order. You can still hit next when the head unit is in ipod control mode, so there's really no reason to put it in head unit control mode

You can hook up an mp3 player, but you would have to leave it outside..probably should work the same with an iphone, but you probably wouldn't want to leave it outside.

Yes, I've used it with an iPad and a friend of mine connected his iPod Touch to the internet with it. But 1) if you watch video through it, you'll use up the bandwidth pretty quickly, and 2) I found that running Maps on an iPad through it, it wasn't able to get my current location. Apparently, the iPad seems to use WiFi to get a location, and the hot spot doesn't give location info. Everything else seemed to work, though.

can I use with an ipod touch that isn't connected to the internet/has no data plan? I can only play the Sirius/xm app at home on my ipod touch when I am connected to the internet . . . how does it work when you are driving? thanks

The way this works is you connect it to your ipod. You then pair it to a radio frequency that is not being used. I did not like this one to be honest. It did not work well with me. I live I CA so idk if that makes a difference

It doesn't connect to the radio it plays through the car sound system by sending the music feed to the car radio using an FM signal. It does play music from my ipod very well. The radio/ cd player etc play independently. This product is very well made plus it charges my ipod and my phone simultaneously while in use.

I Have one of these receivers but have never tried to hookup and iPod. The manual says it is designed to work with the iPod. You can find instructions on pages 58-60 of the manual, and a cable is provided with the unit for this purpose. However, I think the cable is for units older that version 5.

Are you asking if it reads mp3 songs? Yes, it does. My songs on the ipod are in mp3 format, you can even watch a movie on netflix on your ipod/iphone and use it as a speaker. On the back it has a link to connect other types of mp3 players but unlike the ipod/iphone it won't be able to charge them.

I'd like to know this too. Will this stereo work with any MP3 or will it only work with an iPod?

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.

Depends on your radio. It should work, but like some one else answered, there is a chance that you may have to use the iPod to forward, skip, etc. songs. If the car stereo has an actual plug for the cables and not just an AUX in jack (like the headphone jack on the iPod), it should work using your car's pause/skip/stop/play, etc functions.

I haven't tried plugging in my iPod with a USB, but my iPod does work when plugged in with an aux output jack

I use it with my iPod in the car. I don't know what generation my iPod is. However it also works fine with my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. I think this is a great product and have given them as gifts.
