vandykenf3 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I am one of the many people who are frustrated that my iphone nor my ipod classic (6G) does not play videos on my D3. So I have decided to buy a 5 or 5.5G Ipod Video from ebay, but before I do so, I want to double check and make sure that they still work. With my horrible luck, I would buy one then find out these don't work after a certain software update or something... I am hoping this is not the case. Thanks for your help!

OrangeElement Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm unaware that Apple made a 5 or 6 gig "video" iPod. The original video ipods were 30 and 60 gig...the smallest is the 4 Gig iPhone. (now discontinued) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 lol... The G stands for GENERATION, not gigabytes... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrangeElement Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have a 5th generation iPod video and it works great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vandykenf3 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thank you very much! That's what I wanted to hear. I already went ahead and made my purchase. Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrangeElement Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 ENJOY... You're gonna love it. It beats taking out the Nav DVD just to play a video. (assuming you have the bypass going) Solves the single disc issue very nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rsxboost3r Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have a 5G video ipod and it doesn't play on my D3. I can hear the audio but i can't view the picture. The firmware I have is 1.2.3 Does that have anything to do with it??? I've searched but I'm a bit confused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hit the video button in the touchscreen in the ipod menu on the D3. It will instruct you to use the ipod for full control. Turn the TV OUT on the ipod to ON and use the ipod to find and select whatever movie you want to watch. Start playing the movie on the ipod. Done I have a 5G video ipod and it doesn't play on my D3. I can hear the audio but i can't view the picture. The firmware I have is 1.2.3Does that have anything to do with it??? I've searched but I'm a bit confused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmhines Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I just bought a Gen 5.5 80GB iPod from Apple. It's a refurb and was $189. When it came from Apple it looked BRAND NEW. But ... the video would hang on playback. I brought it to the local Apple store the day after it was delivered ... showed them the problem and they swapped it out with another 80GB refurb ... which also looks brand spanking new. Now everything is working great with my D3 ... I wouldn't recommend buying a used one from ebay .. spend the extra bucks and get the Apple refurb ... with all accessories and 1 year warranty.

gowyn Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I bought a refurb from Apple too. Works great, and it was cheaper than buying from eBay, AND included shipping! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nnnickkk Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have a 6gen classic, is there still no solution for the video to play on the D3? I heard that you can run the cdi200 to the apple universal dock and it will work, but have not tried it. Any answer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 You can buy the $50 cable from apple and run it into the A/V input. It won't charge or control from the screen of the D3 though.
