I want to hook my IPod directly to the aux port of my radio and I want it to charge the iPod as well as play the music. Is there a cable that does both music input and power charging? I have a 2001 Tahoe with a Delco Electronics receiver.

The easiest way is to plug into the AUX jack and hit the AUX on your radio, then select "Line In" The volume is controlled by the Ipod and then the radio volume.

I did a neet trick to get my ipod to play in my old volkwaggon it's only got a am/fm radio

they make these little converters that plug into your cigarette plug that has a dock port for your ipod then you simply tune the radio to 88.5 and wow you got the ipod on the car radio
it costs about 20 bucks got it at advance auto parts store
ohhh and it charges the ipod too

Hi, if it has a plug for the ipod. Yes, You may need to buy an adapter to fit the plug on your radio.

i do not know but if it was me i would try Best Buy or Radio shack or talk with some one in the parts department at your local Ford dealership also give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com or www.autozone.com wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.

If you don't have a cassette player, you can purchase an ipod/RCA adapter cable for about $10 and plug it into your aux inputs in the rear. The cable has one end that fits into your ipod headphone plug and the other end is a white and red pair of plugs (called RCA plugs)that will plug into the rear inputs.

I have used the Apple iPod cable with no problem in the Elantra USB port with an iPod Nano & iPod Classic. You have to change the music settings, skip songs, etc. from the iPod which is distracting while driving.

I purchased the cord made by Hyundai at the dealership, that plugs into both USB and aux port. The music titles, album info etc show up on the radio screen, and you can use the buttons on the radio to change the tunes, view artists, albums... (safer while driving!). I've seen sellers on eBay that sells the Hyundai made one (cheapest starts @ $24+ w/ s/h - link here) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-HYUNDAI-2009-09-iPOD-INPUT-USB-AUX-AUDIO-CABLE_W0QQitemZ230379648893QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Audio_Video?hash=item35a3b2777d&_trksid=p4506.m20.l1116, as well as copycat ones - I wouldn't buy a copycat one (my opinion).

Do you have a case on your iPods? I have experienced the "reading error" with the Hyundai cord on my son's iPod Classic (he has a leather case on it). It seems to do that because the plug going in to the iPod is not making full contact with the iPod because of the case. When he takes the case off and reconnects, there are no further problems.

Hope this helps, Good luck!

you need an AUX cable from radio shake. Does your deck have a port in front or in back?

I woudnt reccomend a direct feed to your system unless it has a input on the stereo such as a aux in with an 1/8" plug. The other reccomended way is from an FM transmitter that plugs in to your Ipod and brodcasts it to your car stereo. They work great and you wouldnt know theye are not hard wired. Walmart, Radio Shack all have these transmitters. If your stereo does have an aux in with an 8th inch plug on it then simply go to radio shack and get a 1/8" male to 1/8th male stereo adapter and plug it in. Wiring the ipod without these two features will destroy both the ipod and car stereo as it creates a loop feedback against each other.

2005 STS4 In the center console there are audio video jacks. Go to radio shack and grab a cable with audio/video one side headphone the other. Plug into your iPod and put the touchscreen setting on AUX. It's on the screen getting to bluetooth

I haven't done this to my ridgeline, but I did it to my 1992 accord.  You can have any auto radio shop add a wire from the aux input on the back of the factory radio that comes out in a hidden place, like one of the little storage places under the radio.  Just plug it into your ipod and push the XM/AUX button on your radio, and you're good to go.  Should cost under $100.
