Got a 2011 tC with the base Pioneer stereo. I got the cord for usb interface with my IPOD and it says "device error". Tried a new IPOD and it worked, so the stereo is ok. My IPOD is an old mini, it appears that the stereo only supports the new ones.

SO my question is, am I out of luck? Is there any adapter that will allow me to control my IPOD witht he stereo? Was looking foward to this feature, bummed out. Of course I can listen to the IPOD throught he audio jack, but having the controls in the stereo would be so much cooler...

 

get the new ipod nano, did you see it? is pretty nice. i got the 16gb.

 

Use an aux cablet or better yet put all your music on a usb stick.

 

Would it be possible to use like a 250GB portable hard drive?

 

I've got an iPhone 3g and I do get the 'connection error' every once in a while. Unplugging and replugging the phone works. I had it bum out once during play though.. where the error message showed again.

Although a nice feature, I'm not too keen on it. I opted for manual iphone control because of the stereo suddenly streaming music via bluetooth although the phone's connected via USB.. ??

 

i cant even get my ipod to connect to the HU with a usb/ipod cable. am i missing something?

 

how old is the iPod?

 

2nd gen ipod touch

 

I have a mini. made in 2005, latest software updates (1.4, if I remember).

 

Yes, if the hard drive is formatted using FAT32 and can be powered solely by USB.

 

i have the samething with a couple of my customers cars, i checked in the audio system manual and it says to make sure i have firmware 2.1 which is way too old... but when i plugged in my iphone 4 it works fine and charges my firmware is 4.1 . let me know what you guys think.

 

I checked the manual, and IPOD mini is not supported.

 

yea.. it's too old.
