iPod Nano Car Stereo Adapter

Posted by admin | Filed under Random

One of my biggest uses of mp3 players is in the car. That being said, when I got my nano I experiemented with the best option.

I started with the plain old tape adapter I had been using. Sound quality was fine, but at the time our other car liked to eat tape adapters.

So I moved on to the iTrip Nano. It was designed specifically for the Nano, it should be perfect, right? Wrong. While the device was shaped to fit perfectly on the Nano, the suction part on the back would never stick for me – probably because of the StuffBak label on the back of the iPod. Also, the battery life suffered because it was powering 2 devices, and you couldn’t use any type of case when you had the iPod plugged into the iTrip because the device hugs the Nano’s body.

So that one went back and I upgraded to the iTrip Auto – the perfect fit for me. It charges the iPod whenever it’s plugged in, meaning I will never be without music in my car and I can go weeks without having to dock. The reception I’d rate about a 9/10 once you find a clear frequency, and the display is very easy to read to do that. It even connects through a dock connector, so the case can stay on. It costs a bit more, but it’s worth it just for the commute to/from work.

Now the battery became an issue and even though

    iPod nano is very good as a walkaround mp3 player. my only complaint is that the included headphones lack good bass. I replaced it with the Sennheiser CX-300 and the sound was awesome.
