This will work, but I would recommend going to your local Radio shack or similar electronics store and get the cord there for $4. I bought one and usie it daily in my Honda Element. This product is more specificall designed to interface to the TomTom 720 GPS.

Depends on your radio. It should work, but like some one else answered, there is a chance that you may have to use the iPod to forward, skip, etc. songs. If the car stereo has an actual plug for the cables and not just an AUX in jack (like the headphone jack on the iPod), it should work using your car's pause/skip/stop/play, etc functions.

Ok... I am seeing conflicting stories. Does this cable provide power? When the car is on, I want my ipod to enter into charging mode. Also, will this item work with all radio control features (to include steering audio controls)?

Yes, it works just like the apple cable. I used mine to play music in my trucks stereo via the usb port.

Check if your car had ipod connectivity port...under arm rest..if you do then it should..because that is universal..and the other side of the cable depends on your iPod or iPhone version..

It should play music from any device that has an earphone input jack. I use it primarily to listen to podcasts taken from iTunes, but it ill play music on my mp3 player. I suspect it will work with any car that has the 12 volt cigarette lighter or 12 volt input which everything I have ever owned does.

You must have the VW MDI kit installed in your car for this to work. It either is installed in the armrest or in the glove box, depending on your model of car. If you don't have that equipment, then you cannot use this cable and cannot directly connect iPod/iPhone to the factory head unit without installing the VW MDI kit.

I'm assuming that you are plugging it into the aux port. If so, of course it will work.

yes. this cable has usb for data and 1/8" audio jack. the USB portion allows your head unit to connect with your ipod so that you can control the ipod through the car's head unit. enjoy!

It's a good question. I don't know. It works fine with my newer ipod kit in one of my cars. The older kit, it won't work. Not sure what the difference is. It will turn on with both cars, but the older ipod kit will not play the audio. (of course that same ipod kit refuses to play the audio from my audible app too, but will play from my itunes or downcast apps, so who knows).

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.

Have you tried and rca to Aug converter cable? Insten 3.5mm to RCA Auxiliary Cable Cord for iPod/MP3

Not really. You could hook it up by putting the car cable between your iPod headphone jack and the headphone jack in your stereo receiver, the same way you could play the iPod through your car stereo.

Yes I connected an sd card with MP3's through the usb and tested it with an MD player on the aux and both worked. I'm using a Pioneer radio....remember the cable is only an extension cable and the head unit needs to be able to connect to whatever is attached to the cable.

I don't think it works because this cable is USB not the iPod cable. I believe you will have to look for an iPod cable

I never tried to connect to the car, but it has a headphone jack. So it should connect the same as any other MP3.
