For the longest time I wondered why you never really saw anyone walking around with an iPod in Tampa. When I spoke in San Francisco it seemed like every other person had an iPod, but of course every other person was walking around the city. In Tampa you don’t walk, you drive to your destination no matter how close it is and this made me realize that people probably just used their iPods in their cars. I know I do.

PCMag has found 6 ways to connect your iPod to your car stereo and it amazes that there are even six options.

1. FM modulator
2. Cassette adapter
3. FM modulator (antenna direct connection)
4. Line-in connection
5. Line-in connection via CD changer
6. iPod smart-cable connection

Personally I just went with the cassette adapter because my ‘96 Jeep has a cassette player. Easy to setup and easy to use. Now I just need to get a decent system…
