If you are an Apple device owner and like to use your Apple device from your car’s head unit but you’re not sure how to do so, then my friend you are not alone! Read on to find out what might come in your connection’s way and what might help! How To Connect iPhone And iPod With Double Din Head Unit?
There are several ways you can connect your iPhone or iPod to a car’s head unit and all are different depending upon the car’s model and make. This article is going to cover the most common ways you can connect your Apple device safely to the car and enjoy music.
Auxiliary Cables:
Simply locate the auxiliary input jack on your head unit and plug the auxiliary cable into it, and then plug the other end of this cable into your iPhone or iPad’s headphone jack.
Bluetooth:
By turning the Bluetooth on from your Apple device, pair to the car’s factory radio and wait for the connection to establish. Once done, you can stream audio easily without worrying about the hassle of wires. Moreover, if you have steering wheel buttons, the volume, channels, and other settings can be controlled from the wheel too.
USB Input:
Almost all cars have a USB input jack somewhere on the dashboard. You just need to take your iPhone or iPod’s charging cable along with you on the journey and plug it into the USB jack. This will also charge the iPhone and also display the contents of your iPhone or iPad’s screen onto the wide display screen of your head unit.
Cassette player adapters:
If your car is an oldie with a cassette player, just buy an adapter and make a connection with your iPhone and iPad easily. The cassette adapter goes into the player and then connect the auxiliary cable attached to the cassette adapter with your Apple device.
DVD A/V cable connection:
If your car has a DVD entertainment with the factory radio, you only need to get an A/V cable set for connecting with your iPhone and iPad.
This way, you can make use of your car’s existing hardware and easily access and control functions on the stereo from your Apple device. You need to turn the volume up so that the head unit can fully interact with the car’s radio interface in place.
Radio Tuner:
If your car or your device rejects all of the above methods, it’s still not the time to worry or buy another car. You can purchase an FM adapter and plug the adapter in the car and the other end of the cable into your iPhone or iPad.
Now simply by using FM radio on your phone, you can tune into your car’s factory radio and ultimately to the correct station that you desire. This method basically plays the music from your device through the FM radio system of your car. This is the iPhone’s interface that most modern head units support.
