jamestayl Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Just bought a classic 80g ipod for the sole purpose of playing music and video through my AVIC - D3. Won't let me play video even with video out on ipod on and all shuffles off. Can someone please tell me how am I able to determine what generation my ipod is and how I can determine what firmware it has. And now that I've found out that the cd-1200 cable I just bought is only good for audio, what is the best way, if any, to get my video from my ipod to play on my D3??? HELP!!! Thanks!

HiFiSi Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 If it's an ipod classic (which it would say "classic" on the back in small type somewhere) it's a 6th gen ipod. You can see what firmware is on it by syncing it with itunes. It will tell you on the device's info page in itunes while it's plugged in to your computer. The only way for it to play video over the pioneer cable is to roll the firmware back to 1.0.2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamestayl Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Would you be kind enough to tell me step by step how I am able to roll oll the firmware back to 1.0.2 on my computer? I'm not very savy when it comes to things like this and secondly, will this erase my ipod? Finally, will it enable the AVIC-D3 to finally play video through the cd-1200 cable? Thanks So Much...

HiFiSi Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I don't know. That's why I bough a previous gen ipod! I know the steps have been posted here before. Do a search for "ipod firmware 1.0.2" and use the "search for all terms" option, and something should come up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejollyroger9 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 its quite simple download the firmware place it on your desktop go to itunes hold shift and click restore pick your new firmware on your desktop and let it do its thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socalghia Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 ive read that the 1.0.2. update really screws up the ipods, is that true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I don't know. I haven't heard anything about it messing anything up. I don't see why it would... I mean, it was a licensed firmware released by Apple for the same ipod you would be installing it on... but if for some reason it messes it up, I guess you could just update back to the current firmware.

socalghia Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 ya very true, just wondering. cuz i was reading up and 1.0.2. was supposed to speed up menu loading times, and instead it just screwed the ipod up. So yeah just wondering...i guess im just lazy haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socalghia Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 one quick question, where can i find the 1.0.2. download? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I think there was a topic or two on here with links to it. But you could always google "ipod 1.0.2 firmware download" and find it easily. I think you can get it from Apple's website as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socalghia Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 ive googled it alot, and i cant seem to find the download, ill check the forums tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
