^^^^some know what should i do?

Do you have a iPod Classic of a 5.5G video??

can anybody confirm this?? trying al differnt ways nothing works

Only way I was able to get my iPod classic to play video is by downgrading the firmware to 1.0.2 but you still have to unplug and plug it back in to play the video so I just bought an AV cable and use that to play videos....

What version of Itunes are you using. I do not have the iPod Software Updates folder nor can I find any *.ipsw files on my HD. I am viewing hidden and system files so that's not it.

I have iTunes 7.6.1.9, if you run "%appdata%" from the start menu it should be right there and it's not a hidden file if i remember correctly

Ok, after reading TONS of posts on the topic I decided to take the plunge and downgrade my 80gb iPod classic to 1.0.2 firmware to see if it resolved the video issue and am happy to say it did That said here are the steps I followed to get it to work ****YOU accept any and all risks by trying the following*****

1. Download the zipped firmware and signature file http://www.mediafire.com/?gzeyvtmmb2g (After spending a couple hours on the interweb I was able to locate the files and upload them to MediaFire to make it easier for AVIC411 users to download)

*NOTE: Downgrading firmware will format your player, so backup your data before continuing. Also, this guide is solely for the iPod Classic using WINDOWS!*

2. Open iTunes, head to Edit > Preferences > General and untick ‘Automatically check for updates’. **CLOSE iTunes**

3. Go to "Start" > "Run" > %appdata% > "Apple Computer" > "iTunes" > "iPod Software Updates"

4, Delete the files ‘iPod_24.1.0.2.ipsw’ and ‘iPod_24.1.0.2.ipsw.signature’ or whatever may be inside.

5. Unzip and put both the downloaded files into this folder.

6. Plug in your iPod and start iTunes.

7. Head over to ‘Devices’ and select ‘Restore’. A dialog box will appear asking if you want to check online for updates, click ‘Don’t check’.

8. Another dialog box will appear asking if you want to use an older version, select ‘Use Older Version’.

9. You should have successfully downgraded your iPods firmware.

This was adapted from a different tutorial but with specific steps for this application and firmware ( http://spr33.co.uk/wp/archives/downgrading-apple-ipod-firmware-102-101 )

Before you can play video set the "TV Out" setting on the iPod to "ASK" and when you want to play a video you will have to unplug and plug the iPod in before the video will actual play on the D3 and you will have to use the iPod click-wheel to navigate.

This worked for me so I thought I'd share, if it doesn't work for you..SORRY, and if it does, try not to hit anyone/anything while watching movies

Hey all,

Recently got my hand on an AVIC D3 and can't seem to find the location of the ever elusive VSS wire. ANy help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
