Default Ipod Classic Bluetooth adapter

I was looking into possibly getting a Bluetooth adapter for my iPod classic and was wondering if anyone has experience with this an the sync radio. I'm wondering about sound quality and how quickly it syncs once you start the truck. Thanks.

It's ok, I preferred hooking my ipod classic up with the usb cable, that way I could use the screen to select music.

Ive actually been using it with the cable since I bought the truck and it works fine don't get me wrong. But I like the idea of being able to use the wheel to scroll thru the music and also the ability to outside of my truck and be able to change the music.


Did you purchase an adapter for your classic?

I tested my friends, I kept forgetting to turn off my ipod and the battery would always die. Range wasn't great either 3" away from the cab would cause distorting

Dang, that sucks. Pretty much defeating the purpose of what I was hoping to use it for. I appreciate the info.

So what Bluetooth adapter are we talking about, I have an 80GB IPod Classic and it would be nice to play it. My Aux in has never worked since day 1 (only plays off passenger speaker) I bought 3 high end monster cables thinking it was the cable was not tried my iPhone 4 and iphone 6 same deal. So I use Bluetooth audio on my iPhone 6
