I know nothing about these Ipods except what I hear on TV. I know you can record music to them so my question is, once hooked up to the Toyota Camry, can I record music off the radio?

I love many of the mixes Sirius Area 33 plays and would like to record those shows. Can this be done?

 

An iPod connects to your computer via a USB cable and using iTunes software you can transfer music that you have either downloaded (preferably legally) or copied from CDs that you own. You cannot 'tape' from your radio.

With Apple's recent announcement of being able to download full-length movies and the impending release of iTV, it won't be long before you will be able to connect your iPod Video to one of the built in screens in the back seats of some of the high end SUV's like a gas guzzling Expedition! ;-)

 

I don't know about Sirius, but XM offers a few units that allow recording and can be patched into the Camry's aux jack (which is simply input). I would assume Sirius has something similar.


There is no way to do it with onboard XM/Sirius (at least the Toyota version), it violates the license agreements.

 

The AUX In is and ANALOG port. Are DRMs enforced for analog recordings?

 

They are enforced by the device. All the Analog really does is act like a pair of amplified headphones through your car speakers. You can hook an old Walkman up to it if you want do. DRM is irrelevant, there is no way to record off the port at all.
