Sony Hu And Newer Ipod

[white4d96]

I got a newer model iPod Nano in the mail today. After putting all my music on it, I tried hooking it up to my Sony CDX-GT620IP HU, and it would not operate the iPod through the cable in the back of the unit. I tried to change songs and I got a "COM ERROR" message on the screen of the HU. Any ideas as to what this could be and how to fix it? My older Nano works just fine with the same cable...

the headunit most likely doesnt support the 4g nano. my friend's cdx-gt630ui only works with 1st and 2nd gen nanos, not the 3rd and 4th gen nano.

try checking the manual to make sure it supports it

edit: yep, only supports 1st adn 2nd gen nanos. (look at the bottom)

i install for a living we have alot of problems with the new ipods. the new touches also. apple did something and now they either dot charge or nothing at all works. havent found a cure yet

I could still run a 3.5mm male-to-male cable in the aux port though, right?

...Or is that 'aux' port even for that sort of use? Is there any other way I could play my iPod through my head unit?

Any ideas?

Or should I suck it up and try and find a new HU with a USB port?
