I got burned by the whole no video output thing also in my D3 in my haste to have the news stuff. I called apple direct and they said they will have a cable ready in a few weeks but I have a feeling that the guy was talking about something different.

Has anyone contacted Pioneer at all to see if they know about the probelm and are working on anything. I am trying to make a decision on whether to wait for a new cable that will work the same as the old one or to try and with a 5th generation ipod before they all disappear.

Don't expect a new cable from Pioneer til they release the next batch of new products next year, if then

So does that mean I am SOL if I have a new ipod classic...That just seems so wrong...This was one of the only reason I bought an ipod.

Can't really blame Pioneer that Apple just sprung this on the world. I would look for a 5.5 gen if I were you

That's what I did. I learned about all the problems with the new ipod classics like the day before I was going to buy one. So instead I bought one of the pld 5th gen ipods off of ebay for like $200.

I did the same, except I got an iPod 5th generation 30 gig for $89. There's decent wear on the iPod, but it works and I keep it in my glove box most of the time anyways.

HiFiSi: I know, I'm a stinker.

I am a little confused by different Ipods and now the newer versions which are coming out. For the Avic D3 I want to make sure that I have an Ipod that will be compatible with the interface. So maybe you guys can help me out here.

First, which version of Ipod, shuffle, Nano or Ipod will work with the D3 interface?

Secondly, will the new Ipods that are coming out be compatible with the D3?

any ipod with a dock connector will work as an audio device. for video you need an ipod video (5th gen or 5.5 gen)

Not exactly true. Sure, the new ipods will work with the D3, but the track info display doesn't update when it goes to the next song. Doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but after a day or so of that, you're gonna be hating it. A LOT.

Basically, until somebody works out some kind of fix for all those issues, you're better off getting one og the 5th gen ipods.

And KNIGHT20: Mine was $200 because it's brand new in the box with all the included... stuff. I don't trust buying used electronics from strangers sight unseen. Hell, the only reason I bought the new ipod off ebay was because every store in a 25 mile radius was out of them and the cheapest I could find on in online stores was like $300.

I thought I read one of the threads on this forum that had a ipod classic with no problems with videos with the d3. I have the d3 in transit as well as the cd-I200 cable and was about to buy the Ipod classic...are you saying you have all this stuff and it doesn't work?

I think if you look further into the forums, you will see that the classic will work with the d3 for videos...providing you buy a cd-I200 cable.

No. It will not play videos due to the Apple authorization chip they installed in the new ones.

Basically the video out on the new ipods can only be turned on when used with an adapter with one of Apple's little chips in it, IE only with Apple products.

I have the CD-i200 cable. No go for video. Don't believe me, then see for yourself.

I'm more concerned by the fact that the music titles don't update on the display with the ipod classic. It's a shame because I really wanted the 160 gb ipod

Yeah, I was pissed too. The tags don't update at all. Stay away from the new gen of iPods.

Basically I just want to use an Ipod Nano, for music only. So will the 2nd generation one work with the D3?

All this is making me glad i just bought an 80 gig w/video........THAT WORKS ON THE D3!!

no...i'm not rubbing it in.....ok......kinda.

ANY of the older versions will work fine.

It's the new ones that just came out that have the problems.

i just tried a classic with the new firmware, and the song info seems ok. can't say with 100% certainty, but i drove for an hour and a half with no problems. with the old firmware, it wasn't as bad for me as everyone was saying, prolly freezing once every 20-30 minutes, but it was still b.s.

so the updated iPod Classic now shows the track titles properly? changing the title as the songs change?

i bet the video output still doesn't work?

No, I got a new 80G classic on friday, did the update to 1.0.1 or whatever it is, and the tracks still do not update correctly on my D3.

I have the d3 and the ipod classic 6 gen with updated firmware. Absolutely no problems here at all with the tracks updting

I am jealous.

but video output is still a no?

I gave mine a lot of use in the last 24 hours, and have not had one issue with the track info since I updated the firmware on the classic. Video is still a no go, and likely will never work with current hardware. To be fair, mine never was as bad as some people on here describe. Yes, it did freeze occasionally, but not every time the song changed. It's always a pain to diagnose an intermittent problem, but the firmware seems to work for me.
