I have a Z1 and I used to be able to control my 5th generation ipod using the click wheel by using the "turn-off-ipod-while-plugging-in" trick. My ipod broke (bike incident), now I bought a new 80 gig classic ipod (6th generation), but I can't get the "turn-off-ipod-while-plugging-in" trick to work. Does anyone know if it still possible with the 6th gen or is my timing off?

Also I saw a lot of posts about video function on their D3. Is this possible with the Z1?

You can buy the $50 cable from Apple and plug it into the A/V input on the back of the Z. It doesn't charge or provide you control from the screen though

Oh ok. Thanks. Do you know anything about the click wheel trick?

No
