Now that Apple has unlocked the video feature on the Ipod Classic I am still unable to watch videos through my AVIC-D3 when I hit the video buttons. Is it safe to assume that my cable does not has video capabilities and I need to buy Video cable with yell, white, and red? Probably a dumb question but this is my first pioneer tv unit, I WAS A KENWOOD MAN. By the way apple released an update to unlock this function a couple of days ago.

So you are able to go into the ipod menu and turn "TV Out" to ON, then you connect it to the CDI200, press VIDEO on the screen, use the controls on the Ipod to start playing a movie, and you get nothing onscreen?

THANK YOU.... Like I said I am new to the pioneer scene. What I was doing wrong was hitting the video button but when it asked me to connect the video accessory I was not disconnecting and then reconnecting the adapter. It works fine now and now I now I have the task of converting all my sons dvd's to my ipod 160 so I do not have to remove the nav disc or buy an external dvd player. I MIGHT LIKE PIONEER AFTER ALL.

hey, it's not Pioneer's fault. it's Apple's fault

Where is there info about this unlock? Can anyone else confirm?

Nm... Doesnt mean this issue is fixed. Can anyone test with a Classic? I'm wondering if I should buy one or not.

it sort of works. it seems now you can turn on video from your headunit, then when you go to play the video from the ipod classic, it tells you to connect to an accessory. if you remove the ipod cable and reconnect it, video plays on the hu. one problem that i noticed is that it doesnt play the video i selected, it just starts playing them all from the first in the list. it is easy enough to skip ahead to the right one, but to me this is still a little glitchy. seems the problem with the track info freezing up might be fixed with this new firmware also, but i wouldn't feel safe in saying for sure until i give it a little more time. supposedly, it was a power saving mode issue. why you need to conserve power while the ipod is connected to a power source is beyond me.

Thanks for the update. Starting to sound like I need to get that Ipod Classic after all.

i just got a new 160GB ipod classic and i have been trying to play it in my Avic D3. i followed the instructions on the manuals and followed the steps that is describe on this forum, and none seems to work. the software in my ipod is current (1.0.2). when i plug it in my D3 and adjust the settings to "TV OUT - ON", unplug and plug it back in theres no movie playing on the screen. i would like to know how did you guys got your ipod to play videos in your D3? if so, where can i find the update?

when you select ipod as the source in the d3, there is a button in the top right corner that says video. touch that. you should have a mostly black screen that says something "use ipod for full control" Then you have control of your ipod back and can start a movie with the ipod's built in controls.

i'll try it again tomorrow i'll let you know if its working or not. apparently, the unit that i got was broken. i just got it exchanged and installed again this evening. so the update that you guys were talkin bout was the ipod classic 1.0.2 update right?

I just update my nano and while I can get video to play on d3, I have no sound. Any Ideas thanks in advance

I just tried to use my new 80GB Classic with my D3 and it would not output any video. The ipod screen would ask for a cable to be connected. I try reconnect the cable and nothing happend. What the hell....

Bump! I tried all suggestions listed on this post none work. Please help

I'm also only getting sound through my car audio system, and video on my ipod and a message saying use *ipod for full control. I've tried reconnecting the ipod and no luck. The bypass is working on my avic to play dvds and edit the nav while the car is moving over 20. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

same thing here.. i have the new classic and the same thing happens to me. Is the only fix for this to downgrade to 1.0.2???

Question for you, I saw a post u wrote and said you downgraded to the 1.0.2 firmware... did you get any negative side effects? I've read where some people's ipods mess up after downgrading. TIA

I read somewhere that you need a ipod video gen 5 or 5.5

You mean the video playback is enablef for the latest ipod classic firmware v.1.1.2 ?? I still can't seem to get it to work. Does this not work if TV out is set to always be on? Do i change it to Always ask? What others settings do i mess with? Shuffle and Repeat are not on in the main settings configs.

i am also having this issue.

most recent firmware on the ipod classic... it keeps telling me to connect a video device.

The latest firmware update works for me! Put the iPod Classic video out set it to Always.

Only way I was able to get my iPod classic to play video is by downgrading the firmware to 1.0.2 but you still have to unplug and plug it back in to play the video so I just bought an AV cable and use that to play videos....

somehow i feel we got f*cked by apple

why the hell did i buy all the stuff? and in the end nothing works!

atleast they should release a new cable it can be 100€ if they want. just release something

how am i supposed to get girls without the video function

can anybody confirm this?? trying al differnt ways nothing works

Ok, I should have stated with my AVIC N4 and the latest firmware v1.1.2. My iPod Classic didn't work at all trying any of the previous firmware. It doesn't work 100% like I wish but at least it works now. I was pissed after I bought my Classic and it didn't work. So I did the video in to my N4 until Apple got there shit straight. I guess they still have some work to do.
