Ever so often, the IPod will not load up during boot... No menu option...no charging... disconnecting/reconnecting does nothing...turning the unit off/on does nothing..
However, I can simply turn my truck off, and crank it back up, and it'll start working again..
Just curious if anyone else has seen this?
It's completely random and I have found no way of duplicating it...
Restore and re-sync your your content to your iPod.
hmmm... yeah I've done it several times as my IPod had a hard time at first..well, at least after I updated to it's latest FW.....
Forgot to mention that I tried to swap the IPod with my Iphone when it happens, and it too won't work.
It's like the unit skipped pass the USB "check" during boot up... My guess is that the unit refuse to load the driver for the CD-IU50V cable....
Oh well.... it's only done it 3 times since I installed it... I guess I can just cross my fingers and hope that a future update might fix it...
I would say something is certainly interrupting the access to the iPod on boot up. Out of curiosity, which iPod do you have and also how many BT devices are in your car when this happens. Also, do you have an SD card with AV content on it inserted in the unit during boot?
I have the IPod Touch 64GB... BT and WiFi turned off... 1 movie file
1 IPhone 3GS connected to BT
No SD Card inserted
I do have a DVD in the disc player
When this happens, the source is set to off... Which makes sense, being that I listen to my IPod 95% of the time...
And now that I say that, I can't say that it has happened when the source is set to anything else, when I shut the truck down...
Eliminate the DVD in the drive for a while and see if the problem goes away. If it does, you can assume that the unit is having trouble reading the DVD and fully booting the unit at the same time.
Will do... Sounds like a good place to start..
I have had iphone not recognized sometimes but i simply remove and plug it back in and it works.
Somewhat common issue on these units. Keep an eye out for a firmware upgrade. There is also a known issue with the VR system not loading at boot-up.
