Is anyone using iPhone 5 and iPod Classic on AVH8500 At Same Time?


Recommended Posts

Has anyone had any luck having an iPod Classic connected to the 2nd USB port.. AND the iPhone 5 kit connected.... AND be able to see both the iPod Classic and iPhone 5 in advance appmode?  

 

I have iPhone 5 working great with AdvApp Mode.  But when I reset the unit because it was not seeing the iPod Classic... it changed the AppMode setting to OTHERS vs iPhone AV Digiital.  I got it changed back to AV Digital, but it wont see the iPod Classic now.  

 

Do I have to have the iPOD cable kit from Pioneer for BOTH to work... or will there just be too much conflict?  I am thinking it may just be better to go to a larger USB storage device rather than the iPOD classic. 


I went to the iPod Classic because then I could use iTunes Tagging as well as have a mass of music always installed in the vehicle.  My iPhone 5 is 64GB, but I always make room for newer stuff.  The iPOD classic would be nice because I could have alot of my older tunes always available for MixTraxx... even if its only MixTraxxEZ.  If I went with a 128gb or 256gb USB thumb drive, it might be better because I can sync from the MixTraxx App on my MAC and have full MixxTraxx available ... AND still be able to use AppRadio mode on my iPhone 5 for navigation, weather, news, etc...

I have the same issue and from what i've found, once you set the unit to "digital av" mode to use appradio and/or mirror the iPhone 5, it turns off the ability to use the 2nd USB port for iPod playback.  The only thing it can do it charge.  If you want to use it for iPod use you have to change the settings back to "other" from "digital av".  It's a pain in the ass but it is what it is.  If I want to use my iPhone as an iPod or using itunes radio i just use bluetooth alone or mirror it using the appradio mode.  For nav i mirror it and us my phone's ipod or itunes radio for music in the background as I use google maps or apple maps for Nav. 

 

I'm not sure if I can use Sirius/XM while mirroring though.  If you know how please explain...
