I have recently been given a used Ipod Touch 2nd Gen. And I know that it supposedly doesn't play video on the D3, however I have read a while back that there was a way to twiek the device to do this. I am wonder does anyone know how you would do this?

I ended up running into this problem in the beginning of the year when I purchased a 4th gen ipod nano upgrading from the 2 gen which I using. Here is my post and the information which I got. http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20524 I was going to get the Scosche passport and see if it worked but I ended up calling their tech support and they informed me that it is not compatible with the pioneer units using the CD-i200 ipod cable. I ended up returning the 4th gen nano and bought a used 2 gen from ebay.

I am curious, the screen on the top is the factory Nav I assume. When you connected the avic d3 did you disconnect or do a by pass on the factory nav? Are you using the top screen only as a screen for the reverse cam?

Thanks for the reply. It might be worth looking into, because it is allot cheaper than a CD changer and I have a few Jump drives which would be good for carrying extra music. If I run the cable through the glove compartment and leave it next to where my IPod is in there, I could connect and disconnect Jump drives easily. Any any idea if you can play video with this?

Your right I have never been in a Porsche car or showroom. They have never been a car which I fancied. I do however have friends who own Mercedes and Lexus. Their cars actually came with the Navi system and it wasn't even an option. And after listening to their systems and checking out the navigation it was just as good if not better than the D3. So I figured for the money that you have to pay for a Caymone or Boxster it should already come with a standard high quality entertainment system and Navigation system.

I came across this on the Pioneer website. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/Navigation/Accessories/CD-UB100 Apparently it will allow you to connect a USB jump drive with music on it and play it through your HU. Does anyone know if this will work with the D3?

Doesn't the Porsche Boxster and Cayman already come with a Navigation system and DVD player?

How come you wouldn't recommend it? If it works, it save you the hassle of having to charge it all the time.

Thanks for the tip.

Just recently I decided to upgrade my Ipod from my previous 2nd gen 4GB Nano to a 4th Gen 16GB Nano. And my main use for the Ipod is for my Avic D3. With the 2nd Gen Nano I was happy because it was very compatible with the D3. So I figured I would get a new one with a large capacity to hold more music. Then came the disappointments. First I discovered that the 4th Gen Nano doesn't charge in the D3. Then I learned that while the 4th Gen Nano holds Video, it doesn't play it in the D3. Now I am pissed, because I feel like I wasted money on this thing and was better off with old 2nd Gen Nano.

Well that sucks! The D3 is stating to show allot of flaws.

That is an option I guess. But I don't think I would go through all the trouble when I could just make a Video DVD.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if the 4th generation Ipod Nano can play video through the D3? tried to play a video which was in the movie section of the Nano and the D3's screen was black. Only the audio could be heard. It id not possible to play video in the 4th gen nano?

My god I think you've got it! I am going to look into this and report back if it really works. And to think I was thinking about ditching my 4th gen nano for a 2nd gen. You my friend, are a true Super Hero! Many Thanks!

so in a sense, the 2nd generation IPod was better.
