ipod usb dont work
Well my brother was sitting in the car waiting for me, he was listening to music via ipod hook up and all of a sudden it wouldnt play anymore. The ipod still sync's with the, it just wont play the music. It says its playing but nothing is coming out thr speakers, it plays when i use the aux cord and radio but nothing out of the usb. I tried turning off the car, resetting the battery and everything. Last thing i wana do is take it to the dealer where its guna sit for a few days before even getting looked at. Any suggestions?

You plugged an unplugged the ipod; did you try turning off the ipod, turning it back on; plugging in a usb stick (or android phone and connect as usb only) to see if the car reads that?

I tried that, im guna drain my ipod of battery and try it later. I tried my droid, i tried switching cables, ill try a usb stick when i get off work.
ipod, i cant afford to have an iphone yet ): I find that if the USB is connected when you start the car, the iDevice connects but when the BT hooks up a few seconds later, the iDevice senses that and changes outputs on the device (to BT). No amount of fiddling will get it to switch back. The best course of action is the unplug the USB cable and reconnect it. This re-synchs the output>inputs and it works again. I've worked around this by keeping a USB charger in the car for charging and playing iDevice material via the BT Audio connection. A side benefit is that Siri works through the car system for reading and replying to texts. |

Is this an iPod Touch? Is the bluetooth paired with the car? When you say "all of a sudden" what changed? Did you start the car? Switch off then on? Was the car in ACC mode?

Regular ipod, the slim purple one with camera on the back. my droid is paired with bluetooth, the ipod is connected via usb port. Ive never had this problem until yesterday, ive had this same setup since i bought the car and its workes fine. When i start the car it shows that the ipod is sync'd up and says the song is playing but nothing is playing. Ive tried connecting and reconmecting, unplugging the usb and reconnecting, unplugging the ipod then reconnecting, turned off my bluetooth and tried again. My brother said when he was in the car when it "all of a sudden" stopped working; the screen kept saying it connected Bluetooth with my phone and disconnected bluetooth with my phone but i dont see how that is possible because i was no where near even 20 ft of the car. It still charges my ipod and droid, it wont sync my droid but it syncs my ipod. But even when it syncs and shows music playing, theres nothing playing.

Well, i got it figured out. After letting my ipod die out all the way and trying again it worked fine. Im guesskng its because i never take it off the usb and leave it in the car with the compartment closed. So thr heat its generating from charging and the heat thats trapped inside probably surged my ipod or something would be my guess. Thanks for your help though, i appreciate it.

I leave my iPod plugged in all the time. Sometimes the car doesn't detect that the ipod is connected so I actually just tap the face buttons on the ipod to get it awake and the car starts reading it again. Weird, I know. It happened in my TSX as well.

Yeeeah, for the price we pay for these things... You'd expect them to be at least satisfying quality. /:
But sadly we word hard to play soft because equipment malfunction. |
I think it's with the iPod itself. Is your cable a little ripped on the ends, btw?

This happens occasionally. In the future, you don't have to let the power run all the way out to reset the iPod. You can force reboot it which will fix most problems. I have the iPod classic (wheel) and the steps are:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.) 2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step. The steps differ depending on which iPod you have, but it's basically a two-key combination. Also, make sure the "hold" button didn't get turned on accidentally. That can sometimes make it seem like the iPod is unresponsive when it's actually by design. |
iPod won't work either
My iPod stopped working yesterday! Nothing changed in the car, etc. just went to USB and it won't play. It says its playing but there is no sound. I've reset my iPod, that is working fine... No error messages are coming up. i have a 2012 MDX. Any suggestions before I take it to the dealer?

The Audio display show "NO DATA" in the USB position.
I'm sorry I got out of my submit early. The IPOD stopped playing about a week ago. I tried some of the recommendations on this site but it still is not working. Since the IPOD is always in the RDX I removed it today. It has stayed charged in the car and it plays fine when I plug a headset into it. The HDD and Blue Tooth positions are fine but when I go to the USB position the AUDIO display in the RDX shows "NO DATA". Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks |
