5.0 out of 5 stars This cable is the only way to go in your car., December 6, 2005

I have been searching for a good way to hook up my iPod to my car stereo and after looking at different ways (Griffin iTrip, Monster iCar FM transmitter, even the hundred dollar iPod car kits that allow you to control your iPod from your car stereo) direct cableing, such as the Nyko Stereo Link, was the best route.

I've tried FM transmitters and they sound awful in my opinion. It's clear but with a muffled sound. I've even read a lot about the iPod car kits that let you control your iPod from your car stereo. (I have a Kenwood, they make them for Pioneer and Alpine as well.) A great percentage of reviewers say that those iPod car adaptors do not let you control the iPod from the deck very well.

If you have an Auxiliary input on your car stereo, get this cable! It plugs into the dock connector of the iPod which is where the in-line circuitry is located. That is pure digital sound! No more messing with the volume on the iPod. Just use the volume on the car stereo! I snaked my cable through the center console of my 97 accord so I could hide the iPod while i'm using it.

Pros:

Sound quality is excellent

Long 6 foot cable

White to match the iPod (most of them)

Heavy duty gold plated conector

No need to control the volume from your iPod

Very affordable

Cons:

Doesn't charge the iPod

What do you say about a wire? It is very well made, with quality connectors on each end, white in color to match the iPod motif, and it works. The wire is reinforced at the connector ends to guard against premature wear. I use my iPod not so much as a portable player but as the 'mother of all remote controls,' attaching it by this cable to my stereo and dialing in my tunes from the comfort of my easy chair. If you tend to use the iPod as I do, this cable is a very cost-effective solution. There are other solutions out there. I tried one by Kensington that included a dock for line-out transfer and recharging, which included a remote control. I now use it only to charge the iPod, because the output was noisy and deeply attenuated. All that remote-control infrared stuff was the culprit, introducing noise into the signal. Besides, the idea was dumb. Using a remote control to control the player from across the room means you can't see what you're selecting so you have to walk up close to the player which defeats the purpose of the remote control. This simple wire brings the iPod close to you, connects it without hassle to your stereo, and gets the job done, elegantly and well.

This cable is without a doubt the best way to hook up an iPod to a stereo system. We use it to connect the iPod to our poat stereo and the sound is 100% perfect! Hooking up to a stereo via the headphone jack is like a -1000 on a scale of 1-10 compared to this cable. We plan on buying another one to use to hook up to the house stereo. The only grief is the lack of the ability to power the iPod while hooked up. But, the battery lasts forever on the iPod and it has not been an issue yet.
