Different Types of Car iPod Adapters

When it comes to connecting the iPod to your car, there are many options. Wireless FM transmitters, Wired FM Modulators, Dedicated iPod interface, and the aftermarket radio with iPod control is the fourth most popular choice. Each iPod adapters have their application and they all have their strong and weak points. This article will review each iPod adapters.

Wireless FM Transmitter Review:

When it comes to interfacing your iPod to your car, wireless FM transmitter is the easiest option and will work with approximately 100% of the cars on the road. IPod adapter to work with the audio signal transmission from your iPod to factory radio wireless. IPod adapters of all this is one of the most easy to install. The good enough Plug in to car cigarette lighter and then to the iPod. Once connected, you need to do is tune your car radio to a station to listen to the songs from your iPod. IPod adapter is very easy to install and not too expensive, but it has some flaws.

Most of the time you will be static in the background music. In addition, audio distortions in May and go out, get louder and softer. Other iPod adapter is disabled, is that FCC set the output power of the wireless transmitter. If you live in an area of strong radio station, radio station that will power on the transmitter and you will hear a radio station in the background music.

FM modulator wired Review:

Although wired FM modulator bit difficult to install from a wireless FM transmitter, whether it is worth. Wired FM modulators work on the same premises as the wireless FM transmitter, but you are connected directly to the factory car antenna. I just do not connect directly to the antenna, but also isolates the antenna from the radio. Isolating by the antenna from the radio, does not allow the strong to the radio station bleed through iPod audio. Wired FM modulators are also universal and works in about 100% of the cars on the road, but the installation is required. On most factory car radio must be removed to plug FM modulator to the antenna, but like I said before, it is worth it. IPod adapter has the ability to provide clear, static free audio does not drift and do not have a radio station through the blood.

Dedicated iPod Interface Review:

If you have heart set on keeping your factory radio, your best option is a dedicated iPod interface. Such as wired FM modulator installation requires it. Unlike the cable FM modulator is not universal and only work on select vehicles. Installation usually consists of you remove the factory radio plugging and a dedicated iPod interface into the CD Changer / satellite radio port. This port allows the adapter to control the iPod from the radio controls. In addition, the audio quality is very good and there will be no interference or static. Plus a dedicated iPod akan plug to the bottom of the iPod and charge it. If you have a car for one provision, that this is the type of iPod adapter that I would recommend.

Aftermarket Radio With iPod Control Review:

Most of the factory radio is not designed to control an iPod. Aftermarket companies reverse engineer the device to connect to an iPod. If you do not have a problem changing the radio, I would recommend installing an aftermarket radio with iPod control. Radio has been designed from the ground to control an iPod. They will allow you to quickly and easily navigate through songs immediately radio while providing you with a clear voice. Such as dedicated iPod interface, but also will charge your iPod. This is absolutely the best choice for listening to your iPod in your car.

Choosing an iPod adapter may be difficult. Hopefully this review shined some light on the different types of iPod adapters, and application.
