cadillac davelle Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 ok fellas heres my problem, the other day my ipod classic 160gb started turning off while driving (every time i hit a bump) so i thought it was the cable connection, did my research and ended up buying the official ipod composite cable and swapped out the original pioneer one with the apple one.. well a few days after the ipod started turning off on me again out of left field, so i ended up pulling over and playing with the connection to see if it would connect again but it wouldnt connect for anything in the world, then a few minutes later the radio started goin nuts, just changing through sources, from fm am dvd etc. so i ended up disconnecting it and just putting it aside before i ended up tossing it out te window lol, so i took my girlfriends ipod which is the 4gb nano connected it used it for a day or two and the radio worked fine, didnt go nuts on me or disconnect. could it be that the classic has the pins on the connection maybe shot? also i noticed my classic loads a pioneer logo when connecting and the nano doesnt, would that also be a reason why this is happening?

mercedes07 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I have the 16GB Nano and it works great. The only prob is rarely, the Avic won't detect the unit, I simply unplug-plug it back and it works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Either the ipod is defective or its the unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whoopidoo2 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have the same 160GB Classic. I had cut-out problems also, even with the Apple cable, but after the 3.0 update that is a thing of the past. I've lost connection to the IPOD maybe twice in several months, and both times the IPOD was locked/frozen after I unplugged it to check. Did hard reboots on the IPOD (hold the center and play buttons at same time for ~10 seconds), plugged it back in to Avic, problem solved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My ipod classic stop working after I updated to v3, was working ok when it was on v2. Now every time I skip songs a few times it lose the connection. Although my iPhone works.
