I am having a problem with my 5gen Ipod. It plays everything gapless so I think its causing a problem with my USAspec adapter. When a song ends on the ipod, gapless plays the next song right away on the ipod and because of that, the track number stays at the same number on my car as oppose to going to the next track number. Is this a bug in the USAspec adapter? So when I want to go back and listen to the same song, its now appears as a different track number on my car display. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

 

That's just the way the adapter was designed. I have a TSX and it does the same thing in my car as well. The track displayed on the car has nothing to do with the track number in the iPod. If they were to coincide, you would never be able to go past track 99 on your iPod because the oem stereo stops at 99. Also, when you change discs in aux mode to use the rca inputs of the UsaSpec, the stereo thinks it's ejecting a disc and the iPod just pauses. When you switch back to the iPod the stereo starts at track 1 again while the iPod starts on the track it left off on.

(P.S. Not sure which one you have but not all of the iPod videos are gapless. Only the new ones released within the past couple of months have gapless playback. My iPod video doesn't have gapless playback, so that feature has nothing to do with what your experiencing.)

 

Sorry to be a bit off topic but... My iPod video didn't originally have gapless playback but a recent upgrade to the iPod's software (plus an iTunes upgrade) did enable gapless on mine. I got the iPod way back in the spring so it is more than a couple of months old. But in looking at Apples typically crappy technical docs it is as clear as mud which units will actually support it in the end. They say iPod nano (Second Generation) Fifth Generation iPod, and Fifth Generation iPod (Late 2006). WTF is the difference between a Fifth Generation iPod and a Fifth Generation iPod (Late 2006). Gee thanks Apple.

 

They are just making it clear that it will work with all 5th gen iPods. the 5th gen iPods are 30/60GB video iPods. The 5th gen late 06 iPods are 30/80GB video ipods and were released in late 06. They didn't want to just say "5th gen iPod" cuz then it would be more unclear if it worked with both releases. There are some hardware differences between them, like a brighter screen, and I think a better battery, but I guess not enough different to call the new ones 6th gen....
