Connect an iPod Shuffle to a Car

Connect an iPod Shuffle to a Car - Determine whether your car has an AUX port, FM radio, or cassette deck. This will help you decide your options to connect your iPod Shuffle to your car. The AUX port connection offers the highest quality, directly connecting to your iPod. The FM adapter is next in line, connecting to your car via radio signal. In third place is the cassette adapter which offers about as much quality as you could expect with any cassette tape.

Connect the iPod Shuffle to the adapter you chose in Step 1. All three plug directly into the iPod Shuffle's headphone jack.
Connect the adapter to your car. The 3.5 mm dual stereo cable plugs directly into your car's AUX port just how it did the iPod's headphone jack. The FM connector connects to a specific radio frequency designated on the device; match your radio station to the one on the adapter and turn it on. The cassette adapter slides right into your cassette deck.

Switch your car's stereo to the appropriate setting. If using the AUX port, make sure it's enabled. If using the radio, make sure it's set to that station. If using the cassette adapter, make sure your stereo is in cassette mode.

Turn on the iPod Shuffle and adjust the volume accordingly. Control what songs play using the iPod.

While the iPod Shuffle doesn't have the same connection port as its more expensive, screen-toting brethren, that doesn't mean it's any less compatible with your car stereo. Connecting an iPod Shuffle to a car to listen to your music while on the go is as easy as plugging in a couple of wires. As long as your car has an AUX jack, a cassette deck, or an FM radio, there's a way to connect the Shuffle to your car's sound system.
