Bizzare Ipod/BMW problem

T1RBO · 03-25-2006, 06:29 AM

I'm not an ipod tech so can someone explain this one?

I have a mix of bought I-tunes and older downloaded "skank". My video ipod plays all of them fine and left out of the car is no problem.

When I connect to the car all is fine for a while and suddenly the track becomes interference almost like the ipod realises that the track is not copy protected. From that point on I can only play I-tunes stuff and the only way out is to reset the ipod and re-upload everything. Same thing then occurs, a track will play fine until the gremlin occurs and then tracks I played 20mins ago is corrupt.

Am I doing something stupid?

Are you using the corrcet output from the IPOD ? If the sound is distorted, it could be because the output level is too high,which is possible if you are using the headphone output instead of line-out ?

how are you connecting the ipod to the car? it might be a bad cable.

also i remember some members had a bad AUX port inthe car as well.
