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?

No AUX to plug into - only USB

Aux to FM signal adapter, powered by the USB port.

Know that this may not be the safest solution, as you won't have accessible track controls directly from the head unit, so you'll have to be distracted if you want to pause or change tracks.

You are better off with a flash drive.

Then I think you'll have much better luck figuring out a way to get a jack-to-USB adapter to work with your car's radio
