[SOLVED] Using the Pandora with a Car Stereo

[Niksta]

This is probably a silly question, but better to be safe than sorry.


Is it safe to connect the audio output of the Pandora to the auxiliary input of a car stereo?


The car stereo's manual mentions a load impedience of 4 ohms, but I'm not sure if this applies to the auxiliary port in addition to the wiring between the car's audio player and the loudspeakers.


I have an audio cable with a 3.5mm jack at both ends if the light is green.

I do it all the time, as long as you don't connect it to the speakers outlet, you should be fine.


The speakers can have a maximal impendance of 4 ohms. I think you misread this part.


So you just have to connect the headphones out of the pandora to the linein on your car-stereo. Should work.


Edit: Well, no guarantee in any way here

It is safe, and it sure works well. My Pandora sounds better plugged into my car than my iPhone4 does.


Would be nice to one day have one-touch Bluetooth pairing-to-the-car working.

It works and sounds great.


Thank you.

You could also use an fm-transmitter

Might be plugging mine into a cassette adapter.
