Car stereo?

hey i wanted to know if a car stereo has a usb attachment! does that mean i just plug in my i pod and it will work!!!??? as i am confused some say i pod ready for example and some just say usb!!!??? help as its for a crimbo present xCar stereo?
it is radio specific, but normally they are two differnt things.. a USB is going to look for files to play, nothing more nothing less.. ipod compatability menas the radio actually talks to the ipod. giving control from the radio to change playlists and tracks ect.. with a simple usb drive it may be more finiky, and i would suspect that it may not find all tracks only those in a root directory..

but this is just a educated guess, i have a computer background and i am a audio nut, but i have not actually used several decks with a ipod to know for sure 100%.
my stereo has a usb slot, and i can plug in a pen drive. I dont know if you can plug in any old usb device, but the manual should say so. (mine is a kenwood).



I think it may work if the device is recognised as a single external drive and doesnt draw too much current. Some hard drive cases draw too much and dont work properly.Car stereo?
Yes it will work I have one with the same and I just plug and play ...mine works of Ipod and MP3 Player ...it should even displays tracks on screen of stereo
Some car radios have usb slots but not all of them can play Ipod through the USB. To play and control Ipod through the USB the radio has to have the DRM (Digital Rights Management) hardware from Ipod installed in it and a whole bunch of control software. HOWEVER if you have and Aux in audio jack then you can play through your sterio but not control the ipod from your sterio.Car stereo?
yea mine has a USB plug thing and i just hook my ipod up to it and it works fine. you can also hook other stuff up to them also
Well this really depends on the KIND of RADIO you have. If its a Sony GT420IP the 08 model then it will work. This model has a USB slot in the front that allows you to insert a flash drive to the faceplate and play your music on the headunit. Also this model comes with an IPOD adapter that allows you to hookup your IPOD to the car using this specific wire. This wire is located on the back of the Unit and it is a 30 pin design used for almost any IPOD. If you have this model and you bought it from a store Best Buy Circuit City etc.. then it should have come with the adatper for the IPOD. If you could email me with the Brand and Model number I can help you get a lil more detailed info on the headunit. Also Almost every 2008 model Sony comes with an AUX port on the from of the headunit. You can buy a 2-way headphone jack and use it to control your IPOD/MP3 player. The head unit WILL NOT control the IPOD but it will allow you to use your IPOD for alot cheaper than what the adaptors cost for them. For a Pioneer IPOD Adapter, it is $35 Sony its like $50, JVC is like $40. Plus you have to get these adaptors ordered and installed buy a professional which cost about 40 bucks installed plus parts. Hope this helps. Good Luck!!
yes plug in play
