How to play an iPod on an non-iPod Boombox
By Mike Rahn
This is a short but key piece of intel. If you have a regular boombox or any sort of FM radio player, you can use it with your iPod. There are hacks out there on the internet that tell you to dig into the guts of the thing, solder this wire to that, build a resistor network to impedance match etc... but this mod requires no technical skill at all! There are FM transmitters sold pretty cheaply (you can find some for as little as $3 including shipping on our website) that are typically used to allow you to play your iPod in the car. My experience was that it works barely "OK" and is pretty static-y and if you travel through different regions you will have to retune your car radio. After a short trip to work, I gave up on this approach to listening to my iPod in the car. What to do with this little piece of electronic gadgetry? These types of transmitters either plug into the headphone jack or into the USB port at the bottom since the iPod has these two ways of providing sound OUT. Griffin iTrip is probably the best known, but the one I happen to have is AirPlay which worked well. So connect the FM transmitter to the appropriate port on your iPod and tune your boombox (or FM radio) to a station which has nothing on it (will sound fuzzy or nothing at all). The FM transmitter on the iPod will have a button to adjust frequency on it, so use that to match up to the boombox. Clean. Simple. No wires. No soldering. No investment into a new iPod boombox! |
