ipod connection

[Zav78]

Hi all,
I have a 2013 MN GLX-R and just wanted to know if anyone has trouble with playing an Ipod from the USB plug in the glove box. It plays my Iphone 5 but when I plug in my Ipod classic it wont load it. I read in the manual that it does or should play the Ipod classic and it is one if the newer ones with the latest update installed on it.

I just want to know if anyone knows if it should be able to play an Ipod classic or is it worth taking back to Mitsu and ask them.

I know it seems like a trivial question.

Do you have another 30 pin cable you can test? One of my iPod classics had a dodgy 30 pin connector and that caused problems for me - different head unit though.

I have tried 2 different ones both with the same effect. One is genuine Apple and the other a Belkin.

It might have something to do with the model generation of ipod. A lot of new stereos will not recognize ipods that are older than Gen 5. You might have to use the AUX inputs in the centre console.

I also have issues with my ipod classic and my 13 glxr, it takes aggggeeess to load. Maybe is the amount of songs on it that causes it grief? I just plug it in to the RCA jacks when I want to listen to it.

ipod mini, no worries.

The mrs's 3 year old lancer plays the ipod classic no worries.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have just started using the aux plugs as I still couldn't get it to work.
