kobold27 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hi, I just bought the apple cable and tried it with my f700 and my iPod nano gen 2, last firmware, connectivity is kinda random, sometimes it work, sometime it doesnt. But with my girlfriend iPod touch, its not working at all, the iPod is not detected but he's charging... Is it that i really need the Pioneer cable? The touch seems to be at the last version except for the iPhone 2.0 update (10$ for what???) Ritch EDIT: Touch firmware is at 1.1.4 4a102, which seems to be a working one according to others threads i just read Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ack154 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 With Apple cable? Which cable is it specifically? My assumption would be you need the Pioneer one. It has a/v outs AND a USB plug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kobold27 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Its a cable with usb and video/audio, working with my nano... Before buying the apple cable i bought a cheap cable on ebay at 12$, but the USB dont have data communitation, its used only for charging the iPod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bitman Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 if you read the manual than you will find the answer that you will need the pioneer cable... also written here on this forum many times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sicqx4 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've installed the cable...however I'm not able to play video off the itouch. I can see the video tab at the top of the screen, but it doesnt play video... Can anyone play video on the f700bt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 You DO NOT need the Pioneer cable, Apple's A/V cable kit will work just fine. I'm using that with my iPhone and Nano, and they both work fine. I can't comment on the Touch (not iTouch, that product doesn't exist) as I don't have one, but you must have 1.1.4 installed on it because 2.0 doesn't work with the F-Series, and my iPhone didn't play videos until I updated to 2.0.

I have some video on that - just haven't connected it yet. It is also running the 2.0 software. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ack154 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I actually couldn't get my iPod Touch to do anything with that stupid cable... but I checked the compatibility list on Pioneer's site and the iPod Touch is a "no" for video browsing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Did you update your Touch to version 2.0? If you did it won't work, and the only way to regain use is to roll the firmware back to 1.1.4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you did it won't work, and the only way to regain use is to roll the firmware back to 1.1.4. That's probably why then. I get a little beep like it starts to charge and recognize but then nothing. I'm not too worried about it though, my 80gb is the one that stays in there. I was just testing the Touch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It just came out today and I wonder if it fixes it. I would try it but then it is a pain to go all the way back to 1.4 to get it to work again with the headunit.
