Ipod issue and radio issue?

Hey all, I purchased a vehicle recently already with the AVIC D1 installed, with the Sirius satellite radio tuner. I have the Ipod plug routed to the center console, and whenever I plug the Ipod into that port, the Ipod screen lights up, and after about a few seconds it says "charging", so the Ipod is getting power, but whenever I go to the main audio/source menu where it shows all of the sources, the AUX "button" never becomes raised, and I cannot select it to use the Ipod; only the Sirius and FM buttons are raised, meaning they are the only possible selections for sources.

 

 

Also, my second issue is I noticed that I am getting hardly ANY FM radio reception, it is mainly static. Is there anything I can do as far as the AVIC to make sure the connections are right for the FM radio and to get a better signal without static?

Are you using the Pioneer ipod adaptor? If so, it would show up as ext-1, not aux

 

For FM, did your vehicle require an antenna adaptor? Or does it have a powered antenna that should have been hooked up to the deck?

Nope, nothing lights up at all when the Ipod is plugged in.

What connects the head unit to the ipod? It should have a model # on it

Ill see if I can find out, I bought the car from someone with it already installed. In the mean time, would you have any idea what could be the problem?

Ya, could be the wrong brand ipod adaptor

so are you talking about the adaptor that connects from the ipod to the sirius tuner, or from the sirius tuner to the AVIC unit?
