My local Pioneeer dealer, Lott's Stereo in Santa Cruz, told me that since Apple's most recent iTunes update ALL makes of car stereos are screwed with the iPods. They are complaining to Apple and urging others to do the same...
Coincidentally, my apple classic took a dump...and the Apple store gave me a new one..and I'm NOT updating the software until it's fixed....this really sucks...but Apple gets on the ball if enough people complain.
Apple just released another update, 2.01. Anyone tried installing this and are any of the connectivity issues fixed?

I have tried it, didnt work. Had to go back to 1.4. I miss the APPS!
Today I plugged my ipod touch in the front aux and i used for about 2 hours and the battery is still full (or very close to it) 
that's a lot of difference if you plug it in the usb aux i don't know why, well i gonna use like this until we get a fix from apple or pioneer for the ipod touch users.
Tried 2.02 on my Touch and a customers 700BT and it didn't help.
If anyone gets the 2.1 (newest update) on there iPod touch and it works or not please post. I am going to get it as soon as I can as it came out today I believe. But, If I don't get a chance to get that before anyone else, o would like to know if it works.
God that would make me pretty happy today actually.

I could'nt agree more! 
ahh man, that blows. I was just going to do it too. Well I guess I might as well. At least my iPod will work. This blows. 
Man, I'm waiting for them to fix compatibility. Does apple even know they should fix it? Is it mostly a pioneer problem?
I just installed the f900bt and my ipod touch already had 2.0, so I've never known what it's like to control the ipod from the avic. I'm thinking of buying another ipod, like a refurb regular ipod, just so i can have it work in the car. My son and I share the Touch, so it's not that outrageous.
I do get the audio via AV1. No video, though. The video has never worked on my home theatre either. But now that I"m on 2.0, maybe i'll get lucky with that.
Maybe we should all enter support issues with Apple via their website.

I would a agree with that, but Apple is supposed to continue to add value and correct bugs with there product. I can't (personally) hold them responsible for it not working with the unit. I put the blame on Pioneer in this case because they can fix the issue.
Something tells me its because they are using WinCE and maybe some kind of hacked version of iTunes (or other music playing application). That is not recognizing the iPod after a certain firmware. Just like if you use an updated iPod in an outdated version of iTunes, it doesn't work.
What sucks is the fact that they are taking so long to get around and fixing this.
