I tried searching here and on avic411.com but couldn't find the solution to my problem.

I have the AVIC-D3, but my iPod isn't being charged when plugged in to the car like it did on my old Pioneer headunit. I saw there is an option in the D3 menu where it asks to charge the iPod or not, and that is selected.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

hmm i never seen that option on the d3...

 

Does yours not charge also Alan?

Maybe i'm just so used to the other headunit charging it.

 

mine charges

 

Hmmm. Is yours set to tv out? Have you done the bypass?

 

I actually had that happen when I installed my D3. My 4th Gen iPod wouldn't charge at all when plugged in even after setting it in the options.

So I took apart my whole interior and I had to push the iPod cable in all the way. Boy was I mad when I realized that's all it was.

I'm not sure if it'll work the same for you, but I just thought I'd throw that one out there.

 

Great. I'll check that out! Thanks.

 

Still doesn't work.

Are you all just using this cable right?

 

yep, which gen ipod r u using?

 

do you have the D3 set to charge? on the AV menu screen there are 4 top tabs, one is labeled Function... go to that tab, you should have 3 options, 1 for the repeat setting of the iPod, one to charge or not charge the ipod, and a 3rd one (cant remember what its for)... make sure you have it set to charge...

mine has charged 3 different Gen iPods using the cable you posted.

 

^ nice

 

thats the right cable. try someone elses ipod. cause thats realy weird. but definately try someone elses ipod, it could just be a faulty cable.

 

the d3 was set to charge, but that was not solving my problem.

i did however find the culprit. it was the cable apparantely. i returned it and got a new one, works fine. thanks everyone for the help.

 

YaY!
