You got an iPod because you wanted to have your music with you everywhere you went. But if you want to play your iPod through your car stereo, you need some kind of iPod car adapter. There are a multitude of products that will pipe your iPod's music into your car stereo, but they're all have their strengths and weaknesses. When you choose an iPod car adapter, you are choosing between three basic products types: iPod wireless car adapters, built-in jacks, and iPod cassette adapters.

You've got an iPod, you've got a car, and you want to use them together. You've researched your options and have chosen a wireless FM transmitter for your iPod. Using an iPod car FM adapter is pretty easy - usually it's just plug in your iPod, turn on the adapter, and tune your radio to the right station. Doing this, though, you're likely to find that other FM radio signals interfere with your iPod's music. Here are a few tips to reduce interference and get you the most out of your iPod wireless car adapter.

If you're planning to buy a a new car and love playing your Pod in the car, you may want to consider a built-in iPod car adapter. Rather than using an FM transmitter or a cassette adapter, some car makers offer built-in plugs for the iPod that pipe the music right to the car stereo with great sound and controls built in to the steering wheel or stereo.

An iPod cassette adapter is one of the simplest and least expensive ways to play your iPod's music over your car stereo.
