AUTOMOTIVE FREAKS

Photo by Jeremy Toeman There isn’t any question that the hottest cartable music player on the market is the iPod. With its little size, enormous memory, and digital sound, iPods allow you to bring a giant music library with you wherever you go, and it all fits in the palm of your hand.

IPods are becoming increasingly ever-present as more patrons eschew compact disks in favour of the convenience, portability, and performance of these tiny wonders.  However, iPods are not perfect and if they have got a shortcoming it is most clear when you would like to use your iPod in the car, unless, of course, you have purchased an iPod car adapter.

While some new cars are supplied with iPod docking stations, it is a rare feature that was not available till very recently. For the majority of drivers their car stereo is still engineered to accommodate compact disks, which up until recently were the music medium of choice .

Because an iPod can store loads of music titles its edges over compact disks are obvious, and iPod owners naturally want to utilize this while driving in their automobiles, and they need an iPod car adapter to do that.

There are many types of iPod car adapters on the market. The most basic model would be for use in cars that still have an analog cassette player.  For those vehicles, a cassette adapter can be wired into the headphone jack of the iPod, and the cassette can be inserted into the car stereo.

However , the sound quality of this option isn’t ideal, and most late model cars have CD players instead of cassette players.

If your car has a compact disc player, then a cassette iPod car adapter is obviously not a choice. The Neo iON is the newest and best iPod car adapter on the market.  The iON plugs straight into your iPod and is connected through a wire that plugs right into the CD changer port that is found on the back of your car CD player.

Installing the iON needs some degree of skill and time and those that are less mechanically inclined may decide to have it professionally installed.

The iON provides a direct connection that delivers the very best quality digital sound, but maybe the most captivating feature is the way your iON and iPod accessories interface with your car stereo system.

Once attached to the iON, you no longer have to fumble with the buttons on your iPod while driving. Instead you can change musical tracks by using the existing buttons on your car stereo.

Installing an iON in your car has obvious benefits, but those advantages come at a price.  The iON is not movable, it becomes part of your car, so if you’ve got several cars you’d need to install an iON in each if you need to bring your iPod with you wherever you go.  Further, if your car stereo does not have a CD changer port then an iON would not be compatible with your car.

If those scenarios describe you, then an iPod car adapter with a universal FM modulator is what you need. A FM modulator will allow you to broadcast your iPod thru one of many FM frequencies, and you can tune in your iPod on your car radio.

Another fascinating feature of an iPod car adapter,eg the iON and the FM modulator, is that they provide a power source for your iPod so you do not have to fret about charging your iPod’s battery ; it happens instantly.  An iPod car adapter gives you the facility to listen to your whole music library for so long as you need, and so far as you drive.
