car hook-up

are there zune adapters that plug into your car radio?

i want to be able to control the song that my zune is playing from the radio hud and see the information about the song (or playlist, artist, album, etc) in my car like you can with an ipod

Does your car have a LCD screen in it with composite inputs? If yes, you can get a Cable and hook it into the inputs.

it is a factory in dash navigation system on a 2007 escalade. i think it is like a 7 or 9 inch screen.

so can i hook it into the headunit and use the zune on the touch screen of the car?

I don't think so. But it's worth a try.

I know that there is no working kit yet. I am monitoring a company (Neo Car Audio) that has announced they are developing one. They make a bunch of them for the ippod. I currently use and adapter from PIE electronics that retains all the factory hookups in my 04 denali (non-touch) and still lets me use my XM, CD and Zune but I don't have control through the deck.

The link for NEO is here:http://www.neocaraudio.com/index.php
just scroll down on the right hand side to see the announcement.

You would not be able to control the zune with a touchscreen.

A simple a/v cable is the best, perfect quality and allows the bottom slot open to charge while playing music.

Soundgate/Kicker has the CORE which will be out in the next 1-2 months (after Chinese new year) pending Microsoft testing. This unlocks the audio/video out of the dock connector and will allow you to plug in a remote that is being developed or one of the aux controllers which will allow you to control the Zune through the factory radio.

We don't have an aux controller for GM yet, but it is on the list of vehicles to do this year. Presently we are Finishing the aux controller for Ford, Chrysler/Dodge, Toyota and Honda.

ioswald,

do you work for a company? If so, which one. I am waiting anxiously for a converter to do this. Do you need beta testers?

ioswald · 01-19-2008, 09:30 AM

I work for Kicker/Soundgate and did the software design on the CORE, there is a post for it in this forum that has a video explaining what it is. It's under the topic Finally! Car Stereos for Zune!.

Unless you are in the Stillwater, OK area, it makes it tough to be a beta tester if we have problems, we have no way to log what is causing them.

Ah, I will check that forum out, I posted earlier in it, but work blocks all streaming.

I unfortunately live in Seattle. Maybe I can move with the Sonics.....

thanks for the heads up on the work your doing though.
