Zune is a line of digital media players from Microsoft with features similar to other devices, including the Apple iPod. Models of Zune media players include Zune HD, Zune Originals and Zune MP3 players. These devices are available in various colors and storage capacities. Zune users wanting to connect their players to a car stereo can do so using one of three solutions provided by Griffin Technology. These solutions include cassette adapters, auxiliary audio cables and wireless FM transmitters.
Instructions
1. Use the DirectDeck Universal Cassette Adapter from Griffin if your car stereo has a cassette deck. To use the cassette adapter, plug the cable from the cassette adapter into the Zune headphone jack and insert the adapter into the car's cassette deck. Choose the "Tape" input on the car stereo and music played on the Zune will be heard through the car's speakers.
2. Use the Low Profile Aux Cable from Griffin if your car stereo has an auxiliary input port. The auxiliary cable allows you to connect the Zune player directly to the car stereo. To use the auxiliary cable, plug one end into the auxiliary jack of the car stereo and the other end into the Zune headphone jack. Choose the "Aux" input on the car stereo and music played on the Zune will be heard through the car's speakers.
3. Consider using the iTrip Universal if your car stereo does not have a cassette deck or auxiliary input port. The iTrip Universal allows music from the Zune to be played through the car stereo wirelessly. The iTrip has an internal FM transmitter that broadcasts a signal to the radio of the car stereo. To use the FM transmitter, plug the cable into the Zune headphone jack and set the iTrip to an open radio frequency. Tune the radio of the car stereo to the same frequency and music played on the Zune will be heard through the car's speakers.
