How do you get your Nano to play on the car stereo: Is the Nano just like the other IPODS, where you just set a radio station and you can play the music.

If you use an FM transmitter, like those from griffintechnology.com, yes - it works the same. No iPod does this right out of the box, they all need an accessory to transmit the music to the car stereo. Or, you can take the more effective route and get an Alpine or Pioneer car stereo that offers direct connection to the iPod via the Alpine KCA-420i - this provides a dock connector and allows the car stereo to directly control the iPod. I upgraded my wife's car stereo for her birthday to an Alpine with the KCA-420i and the sound is AMAZING... far better than using an FM transmitter.

I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to that question. I don't own a nano iPod.

Can I play FM radio on the ipod shuffle? I've never owned an MP3 player, but would like to have it for my walks.

It worked with my iPhone 4. So if your nano is compatible, it should work. If you have an iPhone 5, you can buy a blue tooth piece and you should be able to stream your music. You can get one for $20. It works great!!!

It's designed to play through a 3.5mm output, and then into the fm transmitter. So you have to have a radio in your car. 30GB doesn't tell me how old you iPod is. However, it has spring loaded clips to fit *most* mp3 and phone-sized devices.

My car (2009 Nissan Cube) has an iPod hookup, and this product did not work with it. I would also be pretty sure that if your car stereo takes control of your iPod/iPhone (to where you can't control the iPod/iPhone directly and it makes you use the stereo's controls), this product will not work.

You have to have the volume about 3/4 on the iPod for music and the radio volume pretty much takes care of the rest. just make sure you get set up before driving, fiddling with tuning and volume gets tricky while driving

Yes, you can play music from your personal library and then you can switch back to your regular car radio when you want. Additionally, if you have an iphone you can use your internet access to play the radio off your device. I just use my ipod touch and then change to the regular radio off my car when I feel like it. Hope this helps

It transmits whatever is playing on my IPod to the car radio. I found that my "classic" IPod works with the device without it being plugged into the car so it should work, for example, at work if you want to play the audio from IPod on your FM radio in the office.

You dial in a FM frequency on the device and tune in the same frequency on your car radio. It converts your iPod into a mini FM station.

Easy. You need any radio with an auxiliary in and a headphone auxiliary cord. Plug the cord into the player, and plug it into the radio system, and jack the volume up! Voila! Or get an Ipod Nano 7 or any player with bluetooth and a bluetooth compatible radio.

It will not work in the car, at least not in my car. The head unit, a JVC, tries to read the iPod but can not for whatever reason. I believe it has something to do with not being on a wi-fi net work in the car.As far as sound quality, it is remarkable. It works great on my Sony docking station. I was using a Bluetooth before, which was okay, but Dolry is way better.

Using the "Aux In" RCA jacks in the back of the unit, you can hook up a cd player/changer OR an iPad (using a special cable)...there is a USB port in the back of the unit as well; however the manual states "play music from USB flash drive...". I have not tried to plug in my iPod and play through the unit, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hope that helps.

I put my ipod on shuffle and just hit next and it doesn't play the next song in order. You can still hit next when the head unit is in ipod control mode, so there's really no reason to put it in head unit control mode

We have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. This product WILL play our iPod nano 5th gen., but WILL NOT charge it. This product WILL play AND charge our iPhone 4. Hope this helps.

you would need to have the ipod lightning to usb cable. your car stereo would need to beable to interface with the ipod or have a generic usb port.

I just bought the Nano and it's way smaller than the Shuffle is. I used my nephew's IPOD and that's what made me want one, but i LOVE the Nano because of the size. Some of it wasn't intuitive for me, but my husband picked it up and had no problems with it. Once I saw how to do a couple basic things on it, I was set to go and didn't need any help at all. He thought that it would be good to have the screen and at first I didn't care, but now that I've used it, I can see why you want it. After using both, I'd have to go Creative Labs all the way.
