I still have an old ipod. So old it has no wireless ability. I want to use it in my car which doesn’t have a cassette or cd player. It plugs into the car’s usb port but the car radio “doesn’t see it”. Any tips on how to get it to work?

    There are 3.5mm (headphones) to Bluetooth adapters. If you car are Bluetooth u can use this… fairly inexpensive. And if you have FM radio in your car there is 3.5mm to FM adapters…basically you have a mini radio station with short range but enough for your car to pick it up

      i use one of these as my car doesn’t have Bluetooth. Works fn great. Has usb port and aux port on it. Plugs into 12v on car

      My last one was a little more powerful, would transmit clearly to 3 or 4 cars around me, but i accidently snapped it

      Used to set it to the local country station so that i never had to listen to country music when stopped at a light.

      But i digress, bought mine at best buy for about 50 cdn
