It may sound trivial, but make sure your A/V 1 source is set to iPod.

is the AV1 setting correct?

also there is no need for creating two threads about the same topic less than an hour apart!

also some more information might be helpful, when you say that it is not working, be more specific. what exactly is happening? does it look like it is working just with no sound? if so read the manual, this is the most common issue. what cable are you using? if trying to use the white sync cable that comes with the ipod, then read the manual. or does it not recognize the ipod at all? if so, bigger problem, most likely with the software.

X2 on make sure in av settings make sure AV1 is set to iPod. Try putting a a few songs on a thumb drive and plug it in. See what happens

X3 on this too. Occasionally my settings are "reset". Checking the settings is the first thing to check. I had to reset mine over 6 times in the past 3 years.

OK. Sorry to have taken sooo long but I hope you guysstill can help me. I have used several different cables. Several different i pods/I phones' etc. I had gave up on it and started using my SDslot. I also checked the audio settings and they still show no result. But as I said. I started usingmy SD slot and now that stopped working!!! I go to the menu screen and select SDand all it saysis "LOADING". I wasthinking it was a software issue. And if that is the case. Then would it b wise to do the 3.0 firmware thing I been reading so much abouton here. @1loudls @nychemist @tail24 you guys help is greatly needed. Thank in advance

if your having any problems with the SD card then you definitely have either a software or hardware problem with you avic, updating is definitely a good place to start.
