how do I get streaming radio on ipod with no internet?
I have an ipod 4 touch and a Lexus RX 2009 and the radio doesn’t have satellite or an auxillary jack. I’d like to get the radio stations to come up on my navigation screen like a satellite access would.
You don’t stream anything without an internet connection……by definition, streaming requires one. A 4G iPhone (which connects to the internet through wireless broadband) could do it, but not an iTouch.
If you just mean connecting what’s already downloaded on your ipod to your stereo, there are two ways to do this.
The cheap way is to buy either a FM transmitter (which transmits a low power signal to an empty channel on your car’s FM radio) or an adaptor that plugs into a tape player (if you even have one). Either of these solutions can be had for under $10. You won’t be able to control it through your nav screen doing it this way (control from the ipod only).

The more expensive way is to get an ipod integration kit from Lexus. This costs several hundred bucks just for the part, then more for a dealer to install it. This will provide the direct integration into the stereo/nav screen that you seek.

Good luck!
