I used to have a click wheel ipod.. and when it was plugged into my Z1 ipod interface, I could still manually use my ipod to select songs and such... This was a huge help since the damn Pioneer interface is SOOO slow for finding songs!

Now I have gone to the new Ipod video.. and once the unit is plugged into the pioneer cable, I can no longer do anythign on the ipod!!!??! It just says "Pioneer" and will not let me do anything, unless I unplug it, pick a song, and then plug it back in. HUGE pain in the ass!

Does anyone have any fixes, suggestions, or solutions to this problem?

Thanks!

I have the 60 gig video and Z1 as well. I use to have the DICE interface hooking my iPod to the factory radio with the iPod mounted next to the radio. The only controls were through the iPod. Long story short...it comes down to your management of your playlists on the iPod. Plug it into iTunes and create playlists with your favorite songs. Using the search tool on the Z1 enables you to pull up the different categories to search from...playlists being one of them.

I'm working on connecting the video from the 3.5mm jack into the Z1 aux-in to view iPod video's. Just need the time to pull the radio back out to install the Flash ciruit as well.

yep, search will bring up the blue wire mod. In fact you can put a switch on it to control from the ipod on demand for your video files.
