I still have an old ipod. So old it has no wireless ability. I want to use it in my car which doesn’t have a cassette or cd player. It plugs into the car’s usb port but the car radio “doesn’t see it”. Any tips on how to get it to work?

      Why is it so hard for car makers to equip every car with basic needs like enough cup holders, USB and enough power plugs, Bluetooth, AND A FREAKING AUX PLUG *major facepalm

      Edit: my BMW had one under the arm rest by the way. It’s also possible to have one in the glove box compartment.

        I almost dissembled the center console looking for one. Also no luck in the glove box

          Have you tried selling it and buying an older model with a tape deck, so you can insert a fake tape with a cord and aux?
