2. • iPod car interface kits allow
you to play your iPod
through your car’s stereo
system. There are many
different models of
interface kit available, but
they all pretty much offer
the same things. Here,
we’re going to explore the
features that you can
expect when you buy an
iPod car interface kit for
your in-car entertainment
system

3. What Do Kits Contain?
Interface kits contain all of the fixtures and fittings you need to
connect your iPod to your car stereo. It is important that you buy
the kit that fits the make and model of your car and it’s stereo. If
you don’t, the iPod might not be able to connect properly, or you
may not have the correct connectors. Within an interface kit, you
will find:
• The adapter that translate the signal from your iPod into a format
that can be read by your in-car stereo
• A connector that allows you to connect from your iPod to the
interface
• A connector that allows you to connect the interface to your car
stereo

4. This is the bare minimum that you will find in an interface kit. Some
kits are much more complex and offer things such as steering wheel
controls, hands free and Bluetooth (to be fair, the vast majority of
iPod car interface kits enable blue tooth technology.

5. How Do The Kits Work
The interface kits are one of the simplest of technologies to use. All you
do is plug a wire into your iPod. It’s exactly the same operation that
you’d use to recharge your iPod. Another way to connect is via
Bluetooth, and if you have it set to the right parameters, it will connect
automatically each time you get into your car. That makes Bluetooth
technology one of the easiest technologies ever. You don’t even have
to think about anything. It just connects and works.
To get the stereo to play from your iPod you need to select the correct
setting. Just like you need to flip between radio controls and cassette
or CD settings in order to listen to the radio, CDs or tapes (does anyone
still listen to tapes?) you need to flip the setting to choose the iPod
source.

6. How Do You Control the iPod?
You control the iPod in the same way that you would control a CD,
through the head unit. So, if you wanted to skip a track, you’d press
the seek button; if you wanted to turn the volume, you’d do so as
you usually would when listening to the radio or to a CD. Some
interface kits allow you to set up playlists, that you control in the
same way you would control your memorised radio stations. For
instance, by pressing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
There are different types of interface kits. The above refers to the
older models. Newer models may sport large touch screens from
which you can control the system. Other models may allow you to
navigate the system directly from your phone.
