Tonight my ipod just stopped....why?
« on: 24 September 2010, 19:53 »
Evening all

To save me a drive to my nearest VW dealer tomorrow I was wondering if any of you had any advice?
 
The connection to my ipod stopped so when I pressed "media" it showed no tunes.

Ipod is fully charged and works fine with the media-in socket.

Any suggestions?

I had a similar problem with mine, it would not start when I pushed the media button. I reset the iPod(hold down the Meni and the centre button at the same time) and afterwards everything was fine.

The car must have reset itself.

I sometimes get a message saying something like "media devce without function".

I just reset the iPod then it works again.

Mine often does this if I haven't listened to the iPod for a few days - and when I select media, it comes up with that error a few seconds later.  Usually resetting the iPod sorts it.

It's happened to me a couple of times.  The first time it corrected itself.  The second time I just unplugged the iPod from the car system and plugged it back in again, and everything was fine again.

I have just had the IPOD dock replaced and the headunit, due to no connection between MIDI cable and headunit. Positive note is that the steeler has upgraded the unit to a DAB one !!!! thank you santa :smiley: Anyone know how to get a DAB ariel fit without removing the sharkfin?
