gti689 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I Just purchased my pioneer D3 but for some reason my Video Ipod wont work on it? It wont play any music at all... But it does work for my brothers Ipod touch?? I was told there's an update or something that could fix this? This is the ipod wire i bought. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0240096591 Please help. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SavageX25 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Is it the iPod VIDEO for sure? Aka 5.5 generation? Or the NEW iPod classic? I know the new iPod classics have a authorzation chip that can cause headaches and often render the device useless with the D3...the 5.5g video should work fine, mine does.

gti689 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Here is a picture of it. Its a 30 gig Video Ipod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 More info, is the audio working and not the video? If thats the case then make sure TV out on the ipod is turned on. If nothing works then the dock on the ipod is probably defective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 The incompatibility issues are only with video playback. ALL ipods are able to play audio over the Pioneer ipod cable. If it yours doesn't play music on your system and another ipod does, there is something wrong with your ipod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gti689 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 i also tried it on my friends nano but it didn't work either, it only charged it. I think i might of bought a ghetto ipod cable off of eBay... hmm you think if i buy the Apple Composite Cable it will allow me to use my ipod AND watch videos on my d3 through my ipod?

HiFiSi Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yes, but you wouldn't be able to control it from the D3's interface/ You would basically just have the audio and video running out from the ipod and in through the D3's AV inputs. You would need to use the ipod for control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
