  • IPod Issue.

    I have an old classic Ipod with a lot of music on it. Individual artists, songs, or albums play without problem on my 2016 GX BUT I can't get it to shuffle the thousands of songs. It will shuffle within an artist or album. Any ideas or is it just that it is a 9 or 10 year old Ipod that wont fully talk to more modern technology?

    Probably an overload issue.
    Make a playlist of 100 songs and try the same feature. If it fails, lower the amount of songs in the playlist. If it passes, raise the amount of songs in the playlist.

    Headunits are pretty poxy things with a minimal amount of processing power.

    If the above test works, great, post the magic number :-) otherwise, simple solution is to shuffle from your ipod... The fact you get a good connection with song info tells me toyo units are probably lacking...

        I have a 2010 GXL and use my Ipod classic without any issues. My Ipod plugs into the console near the handbrake and I select usb/aux and it plays. To choose songs or artists or playlists I press the left knob and scroll through the Ipod menu to artist, playlists or songs and press the button to select. It is easy once you've done it a few times. Cheers

          Playing up again. It has been working well for months- individual songs, albums or shuffle. Today I added another CD through iTunes as you have to. This CD plays fine on the iPod BUT when I plugged it back into the car and select iPod it says " searching iPod please wait". After 10 mins it still says the same. I have turned both the car and the iPod off and on but still the same. Any ideas? Yes i know iTunes has ,shall we say, issues.

            A further quandry. It works when plugged in via the headphone jack on the iPod and the similar connection on the centre console but has no information on the head unit screen so everything but volume has to be done on the iPod itself. I have tried 4 different cords to connect it and with all of them I get the same message as above ie the head unit recognizes that the iPod is there but just searches the iPod.

              It has been suggested to me that when I added another cd to the iPod bloody iTunes may have done some sort of update that the old Ipod doesn't like. It is clearly an issue with the iPod and not the head unit [2016 GX]. Any iPod experts out there? I prefer not to lose the 3500 songs on as over the years they have been added from at least 3 different computers [non Mac] which have since gone to computer heaven. Not all of the music is on the current computer so adding it to a new device is problematic. ideally I would like to copy all of it to one computer and then copy it to a thumb drive but I believe that that Apple and iTunes makes this difficult/ impossible even though it is all my own from my own cds. First world issue but driving me nuts. It was so good to put it on shuffle and not have to touch it while driving.

                Solved! The newer version of iTunes on the new computer renamed the iPod from "abc's ipod" to a name which included every song on the new CD [aided no doubt by operator error.] This name was too long for the head unit to deal with. A suitable young person spotted this and renamed it "abc's ipod" and it now talks to the car radio again. itunes is such a user unfriendly system!
