iPod with AVIC EQ?

Seems to me that the EQ, available when playing music from a memory stick, should be usable with an iPod. I recognize that the iPod has an EQ, but you need to disconnect, change EQ setting, and reconnect. Has anyone figured out a way to use the EQ built into the F500 while using an iPod?

Select the iPod as the source and go to the EQ screen and choose the EQ you want. Very simple.

Appreciate the response, but I do not have an "EQ Screen" following selection of the ipod as source...

If thats the case then you have a problem. That is not the way the system is suppose to work. The EQ section is available to all AV sources of the unit.

What firmware version are you running?

Don't forget that the EQ function is accessed by a small button in the top right next to the 'func' button. This is when you're on the main ipod control screen. On the f90bt you can also access the EQ settings from the 'settings' screen using the menu button. I'm not sure on the 500. If the button isn't there than you definitely have a software issue.

Hi all

Again - thanks for the responses. I checked again for a button while on the iPod control screen - there is nothing. I am running version 2.006... Curious too since its available while playing from the memory stick...

You might want to try one of the more generic "ipod broken" "ipod help" or other threads which might get you better results, rather than hijacking this thread that has nothing to do with ipod connectivity issues.

SO, can anyone think of a way or make a hack to use the EQ in the F500 when connected with an ipod? It is as previously stated accessible when playing music from a USB...

I dont think anyone else is having this problem other then you. There is something wrong with your unit.
