dudonkey Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I have an avic-f700bt and have all the cables i need to hook up my ipod classic 160 gig probably a 1st or 2nd gen cause i have had it for a few years now. I plug it in and it will bring it up on the screen for about 2 seconds then shuts the avic-f700bt off and when i try to reconnect it will only charge sometimes. I have tried two different ipods and 3 different sets up rcas n usbs. It reads my thumbdrive great. When i first installed it everything worked great for about 2 days then it stopped. The usb reads my thumbdrive and never turns off but im out of ideas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 ive been reading about a lot of issues with the 160gb's, have you tried a different sized Ipod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dudonkey Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 i have a 120 gig also and i think its a 6th generation and it does the same thing. My 160 gig is a 5th generation Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 All 100+ gig iPods are 6th gen or higher. There are no 5th gen in that capacity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 ^^^ true, the 5th gens where 30,60,40, and 80 gigs and had a plastic front face with straight front edges (yes the corners are curved) all of the 6th gens had aluminum faces with rounded off edges, they started out with either 80 or 160 gigs (these are the ones that ive seen the most issues with as they used a different HDD manufacturer which ive heard had too high of power requirements, and caused problems with a bunch of different brands of radios), both of these sizes where discontinued and replaced with a 120gb which was replaced by a new 160 later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dudonkey Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 im not sure what my 160 is then it looks like a normal ipod its a 160 gig andand i have had it for about 5 years but my newer 120 gig that is 2-3 years old doesn't work with it either and the sterao is updated to the most current update and also both ipods are to. Is their another ipod that works better with the system that is at least an 80 gig? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 you could try a 80gb 5th gen. find a friend that has a 5th gen and see if it still has the same problem, otherwise it could be a problem with the avic software, as there is a different interface for USB and IPOD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dianebrat Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 2 year old 160GB classic here, works like a champ with my F700BT every day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Yea until just recently when I went full iPad in the dash I had a three plus year old iPod 160 and never had issues with it. It was used with every Pioneer unit sense the F90BT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dudonkey Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 The only other thing i can think of is that i have some setting that is wrong but i do have my av1 changed to ipod but dont know if their is something else i am missing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dudonkey Posted June 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I dont know if it was just coincidence or what but i changed the ipods name to just iPod and it works perfectly now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
