Hi guys.

Wife wants to play her music selection (Ipod) that is stored on her Iphone 4 on her truck's FM radio.

Any advice. She doesn't have a USB type input in her truck.

FM converters suck.

I know this isn't the answer you want, but get a new radio.

Depends on what you consider "pricy".

A new deck that will handle and control an iphone can be had for no more than $150.

That would be a name brand with a good feature set.

The rest depends on if you feel comfortable installing.

You dont need a USB jack. If you have an auxillary jack on the radio just get a cord to plug in from the earbud on the iphone and plug it in on the aux jack on the radio.

That's how I run my iPhone.

If she doesnt have auxillary jack this should work too.

Dumb question how old is the truck, I know my Wife's 2000 Golf still has a tape deck (yes I know ancient tech) and in her car we go through that.

I use a tape adapter and it works fine.  

I also have a Kensington "LiquidAux Deluxe" cradle plugged into the cigarette lighter.   It is an adjustable charging base with a line out cord to connect to the cassette adapter with an female/female adapter. Cheap at Amazon:

My daily driver is a 2005 Honda Pilot.

What model and year truck? They make interfaces for quite a few OEM radios.

the tape adapters suck. if she doesn't have an AUX port, then buy a new head for it. should run you about 100-120 installed.
