So I picked up my new 16 gig iTouch last week and thought things were good. I plugged in the pioneer adapter cable to my D3 and they started talking right away. But there is a problem. When I create playlists on my iTouch they are there and work how they are supposed to. However when I try and use the playlist button on the D3 it just automatically lists my entire library as opposed to just the songs on my play list. Hell the D3 even recognizes the name of the playlist but when I chose the specific playlist it always lists every song on my ipod. So I called pioneer last night and got an interesting story. he said there is a new cable that they are finalizing in their labs right now that will not only fix the playlist problems but will also allow the video portion to be sent to the D3 properly. If I chose video from the ipod screen on the D3 it just takes me to a black screen where I cannot actually send any video. Does anyone else have a touch or an iphone that has been experiencing these problems? Do you think the tech was just BS'ing me?

There are numerous threads on this topic. Apple screwed us. Pick up a 5.5 gen instead

Ya, I'm having a similar issue with my new 160gb Ipod Classic and it not outputting video to the the d3. News on that new cable has me excited tho.....Hopefully it will come out soon.

I'm also excited about that news. when they are released please post it. ill need one for my D3.

yes, piggy backing on wht wht said just get a 5.5 generation ipod like i did and video and all will be sweet.

Anyone know if this cable is out yet? Just got my itouch and would like to use the video function. Sound plays fine, but I just get the black screen and can only use play/pause FF/REV touch buttons on the screen to control the itouch. No video sent to the D3.

No, and our rep had no idea there was going to be a new one so I would imagine its a long ways out

I am having the same problem with my ipod touch and the d3. good to hear that pioneer is working on it. I had the previous genreation ipod, but the touch is way more cool. Good thing pioneer is fixing it.

so I have to buy a new cable and scrap the $30 cable I already have? that's a bunch of BS. Apple screwed up big time on this one. My audio has been playing fine but the whole reason I got the iPod was cause of the video playback on the D3. I am VERY disappointed.

Just bought a second iPod from the apple website today. 80gig white iPod video for $219 (from their clearance section) with free shipping should be here Friday . I plan on keeping my existing 30 gig for music (almost full though) and the second for video.

Actually I got the video to work. U have to unplug it, press the play button on the ipod, and then plug it in. Then it works from there.

Agreed. That works on the D3. Not the N4 for some reason

I was forced to buy the apple composite cable for the new iPods.

My iphone seems to work ok with the old ipod cable on my Z1. It however did not work good at on my old N2 i sold to my brother.

Waht I-Pod did you get it to work with?

Thanks!

Yeah, I've heard numerous people tell me that "they got it to work" but starting a movie and re-plugging it in, however I spent like 30 minutes just trying different ways to plug it in, etc but couldn't get anything.

Was it for the iPod Touch/iPhone or was that with the iPod Classic?

I heard that it might be a hardware issue because there was a guys saing that there is a pin missing in the connectors of the new ipods...???

Then I hear there needs to be a chip in the cable??

So I dont know what the issue is but I hope its fixed soon...

I heard the Alpine units are not affected??
