I'm looking at an Auxiliary Input Adapter for my car. One of the accessories of the PIE Aux Adapter is an conversion cable that turns the RCA inputs into either a headphone jack (male) or the iPod connector (like the one you hook up to your computer.) I already have an adapter cable that goes from left-right RCA (male) to headphone jack (male.) Should I bother buying that special iPod cord or is it okay to simply use the headphone jack on the iPod?
It won't hurt anything to just run it off of the headphone jack, but you'll lose a couple of features. Some of the new cars have the ability to control the ipod through the interface if you plug in through the data port of the ipod. Also, using the data port allows the ipod to charge while you're driving. If you use the headphone jack you'll be able to control the volume from both the ipod and radio, where the data jack will only allow you to control the volume from the radio.
