iPod connection problem w/ 6Fl option

MoreCowbell · 06-05-2007, 01:14 PM

Is there a document anywhere to show my CA so that he knows to give me the accessories?

Same exact thing happened to me. Mac formatted Nano as well. After taking the car home driving around 40miles using 6fl with my nano fine, i disconnect it when i got home to update songs. I then decide to go for another drive and plug in my ipod. The car does not recognize the ipod at all. The "ok to disconnect screen" does not appear on the ipod. The ipod is acting as if i plugged it into a charger. I unplug it and try again. This time I see the ok to disconnect screen but the USB function is grayed out for idrive. I wait for a few mins. Nothing happens. I unplug it and plug it back in yet again. And out of no where. It works.

I guess this is a common problem. But so far so good. It has only happened that one time and everything is still working fine. I guess its like you said, as long as it works, im fine with it

yes there is a link here somewhere, I'm sure Zep knows ask him. I printed it already and put it in my folder so I have it when I pick up the car to make sure I have the proper cable that I have already paid for.

Nice work gents!

Cowbell - when your car hits the U.S. port you might ask your CA to verify stock of the cable and order one if they don't have it. In case he's ignorant (they either are, or pretend to be) tell him to charge the VIN of the car for the part - that is the procedure. That way you'll have it on delivery.

When is your baby coming? I thought you weren't gettings 6FL.... change your mind?

BTW - you can put a LOT of cowbell in an iPod!

Will do...

You guys changed my mind about the 6fl. I realized it was a must have. Now I just need a new ipod...
