Doing The Dashboard Dance

You’ll find dozens of products that can help you connect your iPod to your car stereo. If you’re looking for an economical solution to this difficulty, there are inexpensive battery powered devices that use your existing iPod headphone jack in broadcasting audio to your stereo connector.

However, if you’re after ease of use as well as quality, you can end up getting a somewhat more expensive car audio connector so you can mount the iPod holder onto your dashboard. Using the power cable that is attached to your car as a docking ipod station you can easily dock and recharge your iPod. However, one of the challenges this kind of iPod accessory runs into is that every so often it will give you poor reception that is a result of the antenna’s position. The solution is to pay slightly more for a better quality version of this accessory.

Video Recording and Sound Enhancements

Many people would say you’re still living in prehistoric times if you are using a Dictaphone for voice recording during interviews or lectures. By plugging a device known as the iSee 360i you can turn your iPod, mini, nano or video (30GB) into a video recorder with a 3.6-inch display. Video in/Video Out - lets you record from your TV, VCR, or TiVo and playback on TV. Pretty neat if you ask me.

Sounds Like a Concert

External speakers are another great accessory that you can buy for your iPod. An excellent iPod accessory is a home device or you can use as both an AM/FM radio, an alarm clock and also plays your music collection through the speakers. In addition to all these extra features, there are some speakers that you can use for charging your iPod. If you have this kind of accessory, you’ll be awakened in the morning by your favorite song collection.

Look Ma! No More Tangles

Get Off of My Case, Dude!

When it comes to ipod accessories one of the most important ones to have are cases. This, of course, will depend on personal preference. However, the most durable are made from leather and sports wraps. Regardless of the products you choose, buying add-ons for your ipod should not only be based on appearance, but also functionality.
