mazda_3 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 hey everyone, have a problem with my ipod working on my d3. i plug in the cable and it all pops up on the screen but does not allow me to use any of the functions. The ipod itself does not say pioneer on it like the ipod adapter i had fir the n2 i used to have. Please help asap. thanks Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Reset the ipod. If that doesn't work reset the D3. If that doesn't work you probably have a bad cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mazda_3 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 i tried both what you said and it still does not work do you think it could be a faulty unit? or would the ipod display not even show up on the unit if the unit was faulty? I just want to make sure that it is the cable that is faulty because i just received my d3 this past thursday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I would say the culprit is probably the cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Ummm... I'm not sure if it effects external controls, but check to make sure the "hold" switch isn't turned on on the ipod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mazda_3 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Ummm... I'm not sure if it effects external controls, but check to make sure the "hold" switch isn't turned on on the ipod. so does this mean you can still use the ipod controls on the ipod itself while hooked up to the car? Or do you mean that the ipiod controls are locked because of the hold being on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 The hold switch basically disables the controls on the ipod. I just don't know if it also disables external sources from controlling it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mazda_3 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 nope doesnt make a difference. But thanks to all of the input sofar. is there anything supposed to be displayed on the ipod screen though? On my n2 i had it displayed pioneer on the screen itself and non of the functions worked on the ipod you were only able to control it throuigh the deck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knight20 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yup, it is supposed to display the Pioneer logo on the screen for the 5th and 5.5 generation iPods. Dunno about the newer or older iPods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
