You probably don't remember these but I have a question

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?
Are 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.
Amazingly my 2024 german made car does not have an AUX
Why is it so hard for car makers to equip every car with basic needs like enough cup holders, USB and enough power plugs, Bluetooth, AND A FREAKING AUX PLUG *major facepalm
Edit: my BMW had one under the arm rest by the way. It's also possible to have one in the glove box compartment.
I almost dissembled the center console looking for one. Also no luck in the glove box
Have you tried selling it and buying an older model with a tape deck, so you can insert a fake tape with a cord and aux?
LOL. No not really. Not getting rid of this just to use my old, old ipod
Priorities man, priorities
