I try to use the USB port to play my iPod and it says that it is an unknown device. Does anyone else have this issue? I am always using the first generation iPod, dont know if that is the problem. I am going to try my iTouch and other forms for the USB, just wondering if anyone else came across this issue

 

i have a nano with no problems, but mine says that with my brother in laws i touch. i have to plug it in and let set for a minuet and than it plays.

 

my iTouch works and i have a USB flash drive and they both work...i just dont know why the old iPod does not work with the USB...it works with the AUX plug...

 

I've never tried to use a 1G iPod, but mine does work with a crusty old Nano 4gb fine. Do you have the newest firmware on your iPod?

 

mine says it every now and then...i just unplug it and plug it back in and I'm good to go

 

I get "No disk in drive F: Insert disk." Cancel, try again, continue. maybe we have a similar problem. Tho mine is a 5th gen.

 

it was updated recently through iTunes and it says that i am up to date with the version i am running

 

if i'm not mistaken the first gens don't have the proper support to do it. i know with my aftermarket one you need a special adapter to use a first gen. good thing i don't have a first gen

 

I should post a how-to (maybe someone already has one? not looked), but I cracked open my head unit and installed an extension USB cable behind the radio to the glovebox. I just keep an old/elcheapo 30GB 2.5" USB hard disk enclosure in there at all times.

Very rare I actually use my iPod/iPhone with the headunit.

 

i would like to see that write up.
i hate wires. i took the time to run my GPS wires behind everything up to the upper/left of my windshield

i hate the wire in the usb hanging out my glovebox.





everything works on mine....my mobile 6.1 phone (finds the sim card with songs on it) my ipod and mu jump drive.

 

have thought about doing the same thing...a how to write up would come in very handy
