Want to hook up the ipod to my car radio. I know I need the alpine adapter but do I need to get an Ipodmini? Can I use the Ishuffle? Anyhelp would be appreciated.

 

might wanna post in the audio section.

 

With the iPod Shuffle, you'd probabally be better off just using the AUX input on the head unit. AFAIK, you can't control the songs on the shuffle, other than skip/pause/stop/play.

The iPod interface for the alpine is for displaying the songs/folders on the head unit display...

 

The alpine interface can only be hooked up using the Dock connector plug. Thus, no ipod shuffle can work. You can use some kind of aux input coming out of the headphone jack though.

 

I have an iTrip and it works pretty good...if thats what your talking about like listening to yuour songs on your radio as you drive. If you dont know what it is cause a lot of people dont you plug it into your ipod where your headphones go then change your radio station to 87.9 and control it all by your ipod.
