Connecting an iPod to Your Car Stereo with a Cassette Adapter

A couple of the connection kits described are especially useful because they include a cassette adapter. These devices look like a standard cassette, but they also have a wire coming from them that ends in a mini-jack. You connect this plug into the iPod’s Headphones port. You then insert the cassette into a standard cassette player that is installed in many cars and use the car stereo’s controls to play it.
When that is done, you can control the music from the iPod, just as if you were listening to it with headphones.
