Ipod Problems

I just finished hooking up my F90BT in my 08 F250. Everything went pretty smooth but I ran out of time to hook up the steering controls, and search for the VSS wire that I needed to tap into.

 

I finished putting the dash all back together and started playing with the unit. First thoughts were how great the screen looked. Then I made a phone call with my Blackberry on the bluetooth and wasnt overly impressed.

 

I used the CD player, sounded great. Then I switched to Ipod and the screen pops up and it shows all the song, album, title etc and it shows that its playing but there is no sound.

 

Any ideas?

Did you use an ipod cable with both USB and RCA jacks? you need them both connected, the audio comes in via RCA. USB is only for for ipod control.

Did you change AV1 to say ipod?

 

Those are the 2 usual culprits.

I did use the cable that came with both the usb and rca. They are both hooked up. I did not change AV1 to say Ipod. I will go try that now. I did search for a minute and found that as well. Thanks!

Sounds like you didn't connect both of the harnesses, the 2nd harness has RCA jacks on it (at least for US versions)
