I have a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire and i'd like to listen to my ipod through it's speakers. how would i do that?

Question

Basically, i want an adapter or whatever so that i can listen to my songs without burning them onto cd's. the car doesn't have a cassette slot incase that helps anyone. I'd appreciate the help.

Answer 1

Go into radio shack or target or really anywhere and get an adapter that plugs into you cigarette lighter I have one a it works great, you just have to pick a radio station to set it to.

Answer 2

Your cars stereo has to be capable of accepting an IPod as an Auxiliary attachment. Being that it's from 2001, more than likely it isn't going to be able to do it. You can get attachments for iPods that will transmit an FM radio signal to your cars radio, usually around 96.1, but those are dodgy attachments, and if there's a radio station near you that transmits on the 96.1 frequency your out the bucks the attachment costs. Your best bet is to go get a new stereo that can handle an IPod.

Answer 3

bestbuy circuit city and other electronics stores have adapters

that plug into the headphone jack and the car cigg lighter

it transmits a signal to your radio to play your ipod through a radio station that has nothing broadcasted.

for example

lets say 90.7 is not a radio station in your area

put your radio on that station, plug the adapter into your lighter and into your ipod

voila!

you have music

Answer 4

if you have cd changer control ability you can get an adapter that plugs into the the changer port on the back of your radio, and coverts it to RCA inputs!!! then just get a small rca setup, now the bigger question is if you know how to pull your dash off that car has a LOT of 7mm bolts. the cig lighter plug method is kinda ghetto and the sound from the cd changer will be superior

Answer 5

Sounds like Bobby knows what he's talking bout...

Answer 6

the easiest way is to go to best buy, or target and get a FM transmitter.  these work by sending a signal from the transmitter to your radio. they are cheap, but dont work all to great and sometimes make the sound quality go way down. another way is to go to your local car audio store and buy an ipod ready CD player/stereo. i have one of those and it has a cord that plugs right into your ipod, and does not alter sound quality

Answer 7

nothing ... good luck ...
