Ipod Shuffle Compatible?

KingKye · 09-26-2008, 01:31 PM

I've had my car about 7 weeks now and have not used my ipod adapter that came with the car. Under the armrest shows 1 aux jack and 1 usb port. Since I do not own an ipod, i was wondering if I can buy the cheap new Ipod Shuffles and use it in the car without any problems.. Thanks for being helpful.

Through AUX, yes. Why not spend just a little bit more and get a nano and have much more usability and full integration?

Well i'm not too familiar with ipod products and thought that the shuffle would suit me best. Can you tell me what things would be different between the nano and shuffle for my car? The ipod will be used strictly for the car so it doesn't matter for personal use. Just for car use..

Shuffle is the entry level iPod and has no display and smalled HDD size. More info can be found here on iPod models:

If all you are going to use it for is the car then you might want to consider just getting a flash drive or small usb drive.

+1. If all your music is mp3 or wma an iPod doesn't get you any advantages. Just use a thumb drive.
