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?

    Had this for old portable CD players (the kind that would skip when the car hit a bump). They don’t work all that well. Even if you find a frequency not in use, it gets interrupted from time to time as you’re driving around.

        I used one all the time in my last work van. Drove it over a good chunk of the US and interference was rarely a problem. You just need to pick a couple unpopular frequencies right next to eat other and set those as two of your radio station defaults. It’s slightly annoying but it rarely even happens.
