IPOD question
I just bought an Ipod Nano, my question is, I have the "Basic" stereo, when I plug the Ipod in, is there a way to scroll thru the menu on the ipod and choose a song instead of using the head unit for scrolling? And, does the Ipod suppose to stay on when I turn the car off? I've been upluging the Ipod from the cable when I turn the car off. Thanks for the help.

not sure with basic stero but with ugraded stero u hold menu button while head unit is off with key in ignition, on, to acess iopd menu,, try it might work...and no u dont hace to unplug ipod it auto turns off
|
i have the upgraded HU - so if i do what Maddman says to do, will this enable me to use the ipod menu to choose songs rather than the radio HU
i hate using the HU to change songs or look for them- it takes forever and is a car accident waiting to happen! aman |
the only way I know of is to use the Aux port instead of the iPod port, then you can use the actual iPod to scan through songs instead of the HU
|
I use an Auxilary port for my iPod. It's my preferred method since my head unit doesn't scroll the ID3 tag information.
|
umm the ipod turns off after a few moments. it is not running off the battery per say. it is running off the internal battery and should go to sleep after a few minutes depends on what you have it set as..
as for scrolling. umm head unit is the only way that i see you can do it. |

I've got the basic headunit too. Scrolling: HU only. To make it easier I've created about 12 playlists based on different criteria (era, star rating, etc). This allows me to scroll through a smaller group of songs to find what I want. On/Off: Like what ibnboxin says. It depends on how you have the ipod setup. Mine shuts off after a few minutes of inactivity. I also leave it in Key Lock mode so that when I unplug it and put it in my pocket, accidentally hitting the keys doesn't turn it on and wear down my battery. Madode |
it's HU only..
but yeah... the secret is setting up good playlists. |
Thanks to all, I left the Ipod plugged in and it did go into sleep modeafter a few minutes. Thanks again.
