You can use 3.5mm jack to bluetooth adapter.

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?

Okay, yes, this is older technology & cars don't have infinite, universal backwards compatibility. Cars have Bluetooth & they think that just fixes everything....well...not quite.
Maybe there are other fixes & other workarounds, but you need to employ old(er) technology solutions to fix this old(er) technology problem. You need a (QUALITY) FM transmitter that will plug into your aux, blast the signal as an FM radio station, and you tune your radio to that station & listen. Notice I said QUALITY...most of them are kinda crap & you have to deal with static. I have no specific brand, model suggestions. Good luck.
A better but more expensive solution: upgrade your car's head unit. Stock head units are shit, anyway.
Get yourself a nice head unit with 3.5mm aux connection & aux in that iPod, if your budget allows. THEN, you'll have the best sound quality and also Bluetooth connection, etc.I wish you well, music makes the driving experience, I hope you get EVERYTHING you need.

schrieb am 5. Juni 2025, 13:10 zuletzt editiert vonAre you sure your car doesn't have an aux in? Most cast do. Otherwise, maybe a USB to aux converter might work but I doubt it. So I'd go with a Bluetooth or FM transmitter like others adviced. If your car has Bluetooth, I'd go for that one as FM can have interference. Or just play music from your phone. No iTunes hassle and more storage.

Edit: my BMW had one under the arm rest by the way. It's also possible to have one in the glove box compartment.

schrieb am 6. Juni 2025, 00:42 zuletzt editiert vonBack in the day, I had one of the fm transmitters wired into the antenna with a ground loop isolator from radio shack (!) and I tapped a power lead so it would also charge my iPod while in use (and automatically turn off the power when the car was off). Honestly, it was awesome. CD quality sound. If I remember correctly Belkin made the transmitter.
