my ipod shows up as a list not like it shows in on the box. i have a 4 year old 30 gig classic.

Ok your going to have to be more specific then that on your problem. That doesn't make any sense. Please try again.

ok sorry. i installed my pioneer Z110bt yesterday. the i pod is installed in the external 1 input. it did not ask to load my playlist, it just shows a list from 1-6 but when pressed does nothing. it does not have any VR and it does not show the dial interactively like it showed on the box it came in. it does however play the songs. i just have to press an arrow to go to the next one.

what do i need to do to get it to work with VR and show me the playlist to work from? it is a 4 year old 30 gig classic i pod with video.

thanks

A read of the manule or a vist to the Pioneer site would help. Connecting the iPod to the EXT Input is certainly not where it is supose to be conncted.
