69Mach1-409 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have a D3 in my 08 Mustang GT and my gf's Gen 5 works with no issues at all. Full controll from the D3.. she bought a new Accord not too long ago and just discovered the audio jack. ..now I can't steal her iPod anymore. So I bought a referb Gen 5 - 30g It's basically the same thing as my gf's, but black.. mine will not work at all with the D3. You plug it in, and the iPod screen on the D3 pops up.. but nothing happens. None of the buttons work and the fields do not show anything. Any ideas?

69Mach1-409 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I've read that I need to be on software version 1.1 and it's on 1.3.. How do I go about downgrading the iPod? I have iTunes 7. Thanks, ~j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HT2 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 If you have gen 6 this is the link for down grade firmware. http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic. ... od&start=0 In there stated if gen 5 then work as is.(No need to down grade) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CamelTowing Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I used to have that one and it worked fine. Try resetting the ipod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
69Mach1-409 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I don't understand it... this is the only reason I bought the damn thing. I've reset the iPod mutiple times, tried different settings on it, tried 3 different software versions, reset the AVIC-D3, and retried my gf's Gen 5.. hers works everytime, but mine still will not. The D3 pops right to the iPod screen, but my iPod acts as if it's only plugged into a charger... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
69Mach1-409 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 New Update: Damn POS still will not work.. but I noticed that when I plugged it into the cable prior to turning the car on.. the iPod display says something to the effect of "Apple iPod is not compatable with this device" then it flashes "safe to unplug" or something like that ....wth does that mean?

knight20 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 That's really wierd. Where did you get the iPod? If it was refurbished from the Apple Store, the only thing I can think of is that they added the extra security protection that will only allow apple certified products to be connected to it while it was being refurbished. Maybe you can get your gf to trade iPods with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
69Mach1-409 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 That's what I'm thinking... I was going to trade, but now the damn thing won't even hold a charge for more then 24hrs now. Looks like I was scammed as the seller told me to take it up with the shipper. ..atleast I didn't pay that much for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
69Mach1-409 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Update: got the seller to let me return & refund my money! Now, the new question... how do I know which iPod will work with my D3? Is there a serial number set I should be looking for? ..a firmware version? ..any help?
