hi guys it seems the usb /ipod hookup wont work in my car just bought it for 25 with 29k miles on it been figuring everything in the car out but this seems to be the one thing i cant get to work

 

Plug ipod into USB, make sure power is on, set the stereo to "USB". Should work.

 

how do you set the stereo to usb i cant see usb on the dash when i put it in and when i push aux nothing happens

 

Sleeper... do you have the tech model? if so you hit the HD/AUX button a couple of time until you see the USB come up on the stereo interface. If you don't have the tech model, I have no idea.

 

its supposed to come up on dash when i start it up but it doesnt

 

Do you have the Tech model (GPS) or not? If not, I think someone with a non-tech model will chime in.

 

Like CerberusKy said, you may need to cycle through using the HDD button -- it goes between the hard drive, Bluetooth, and iPod, I believe.

Also, if you've paired the device with Bluetooth, Apple has an annoying "feature" to use the last detected connection. So, it's possible that the you're actually connected via Bluetooth, even if the dash says iPod. In that case, you can either change the output on your device, or you can unplug it and plug it in again. Or, you could cycle through with the HDD button until you get to Bluetooth.

I guess if all else fails, make sure that the radio is actually powered on, and that the USB end of the cable is firmly plugged into the USB output of the car.

 

i have none tech will try these ideas and get back to you guys

 

still cant figure it out i have the owners manual and noting in there works to make the usb or ipod work anyone have any more ideas

 

What model iPod are you using?
and what does the iPod display when you plug it in?
have you tried any other things like a USB flash drive to see if anything else works via USB?

 

i am using the iphone 4 with the latest updates on it and yes i have also tried using the usb hookup with flash drive both are no go. nothing displays that they are even hooked up iphone shows nothing when hooked up

 

It sounds like something is wrong... I would consider a dealership visit.

 

get the dealer to replace the usb cable

 

Any word from the dealer sleeper??

 

hav6t had time but taking it in this week
