necro Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Here's your answer. You CANNOT use the D3 to choose videos. You have to use the iPod. You CAN however, use the forward/backward buttons (or remote) to cycle through videos in the playlist. This is only after you have chosen a video from a playlist on the iPod though.

abraDAMN Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Exchanged my 15 day old Ipod for a replacement at Circuit City. they did the Exchange with no problem. Replacement Ipod works fine..video playlist has no issues on this one. Works perfectly/D3 switches from video to video with no issue. Update. Started having the same issues with the replacement ipod. The other poster hit the nail on the head..which I also learned on Ilounge.com last night. For music videos (and possibly other videos), you have to go into the "Get Info" tab for each video, and UNCHECK the "skip when shuffling" (or whatever it's called) mode. THIS will allow the music video playlists to operate as intended. Apparently this is some quirke with either video ipods or Itunes. Has NOTHING to do with the Avic i hope this is something firmware can fix... please let me know if anyone finds this out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrangeElement Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I didn't see this in any of the previous replies... I hope this isn't redundant info: The installer of my D3 told me that the video from my ipod couldn't be played on the D3... continuing that only the "more expensive" systems played mp4 formats. He insisted that only windows media files could only be played on the screen. NOT TRUE according to the website! What sense would it make to have a windows media file on an ipod anyway? It took me a few days to realize it was my own fault for not checking the settings. The video output on my iPod were set to "off" Once I changed this to "on," I pressed the VIDEO button from the iPod screen on the D3, and presto! ...like magic.. it worked like a charm. Here's the steps to follow on your ipod video: Videos--> Video Settings --> TV Out --> ON I hope that helps someone. Let me know if you have any questions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yea, this has been covered in other threads, and go tell your installer he doesnt know what he's talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrangeElement Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I don't really have anything to say to him. He did a pretty good job installing the unit, but he doesn't know how to use it clearly. As for the bluetooth installation, I'll take it elsewhere.. and closer to home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
