ms3Brendan Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I made a mistake & won an AppRadio off eBay for 165 bucks in like-new condition. Good price.. But after doing some research I think.. I realized that I'm unable to plug in my classic iPod and be able to see my music.. I've spoke with the seller & he's refusing to cancel the transaction.. Whatever. So here's a few questions I have for you guys.. 1. Will my classic iPod work? Will it be able to display the music from it? If so.. would I be able to play video from it? 2. I have an iPhone 5.. I completely forgot about this when bidding I just assumed it'd work with all iPhones.. What are my options here? 3. I use iTunes Match primarily, if it does work with the iPhone 5 will it be able to display the music from iTunes Match? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stargate125645 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 1. I don't understand...it sounds like you already tried and want to know if there's a workaround? 2. Pioneer does not have an adapter for iPhone 5 since they changed the connector. I'm not sure you have options other than Bluetooth calls from it. 3. I'll let an avid Apple user answer this. I'm not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure. I haven't received the appradio yet so I haven't tried anything yet. I was wondering if I hooked up my 30GB iPod classic will the appradio display the music under the iPod app?

stargate125645 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I think Pioneer's website says 4th gen only for that. I would suggest getting a broken screen iPhone (an iPod Classic will play music I believe, but not sure about AdvancedApp Mode. Pioneer is not consistent on their website with what does and does not work) if you want a cheap solution for full control. Since you have an iPhone 5, you are not due up for a new phone any time I'd imagine, soon so that will be the cheapest solution. If you are made of money, though, I'd graduate to a big boy (ha, couldn't resist!) phone and Android. With the advent of ARLiberator for Android, you have unlimited control of the phone.

I was considering after looking around.. A 32gb iPod touch would be pretty inexpensive and it's compatible with the unit's iPod app. Only thing is since I wouldn't have data on there I wouldn't be able to do anything else with it until the iPhone 5 jailbreak comes out & I can setup my iPhone as a mobile hotspot for the touch.

vng0 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just plugged in my classic 80GB ipod into AppRadio 2 and it seems to work fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ms3Brendan Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just plugged in my classic 80GB ipod into AppRadio 2 and it seems to work fine. I guess the 2 has better support than the 1 which is what I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
