Method 1: Play Apple Music Songs in a Car via iPhone
Method 2: Play Apple Music in a Car via USB Drive
1. Bluetooth
You can connect your iOS device (Android phones included) with a compatible car stereo using Bluetooth, and this is the easy solution to streaming your Apple Music. You just need to pair your iPhone and car stereo system correctly, then you can skip tracks, play or pause and adjust the volume from controls on the steering wheel or dashboard. And you can also use other stereo players to play Apple Music outloud in your car via Bluetooth if you like.
2. Auxiliary Input
Most of the cars come with an auxiliary input, either 3.5mm or USB. If it's USB, you can easily connect your iPhone via its Lightning cable. If it’s a 3.5mm input, you’ll need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Aux Audio Cable to 3.5mm adapter. In this way, you can play Apple Music songs in a car without audio quality losing.
3. Apple CarPlay
Apple CarPlay is specially designed for connecting iPhone to car, which takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them on your car’s built-in display, so if you have an iPhone with iOS 7.1 or higher, this is the best method you can choose to play Apple Music songs in a car which comes with CarPlay options. While playing music, you are able to answer calls, see Apple maps and hear messages.
4. FM transmitter
If you have a FM transmitter at hand, you can listen to your Apple Music from iPhone. It produces a short-range FM broadcast signal from a portable audio device like iPhone to a standard FM radio and tunes it into your car stereo.
