Coding iPod interface

drhousedk · 05-22-2015, 01:29 PM

Hi,

My E91 has an original iPod interface retrofitted. Fiberoptics and everything is connected.

I see the CDC option in the Audio menu, but it's just two dashes (CDC text underneath it) - not the CDC icon.

As a result of that, I can't select CDC, and thus my iPod connection won't work.

Any ideas about what to do?

I have NCSexpert, NCSdummy and the correct K+DCAN cable available.

CDC is aktiv. $672 wasn't in the VO - added it to CAS and FRM. 694 wasn't present, so I figured that was fine.

Still no CDC icon - just two dashes.

I have this on my e91 and it fails a lot... Many times iPod is connected and isn't recognized by the radio. I retrofitted usb and have booth. Try it with an iPhone. It should work, just won't charge it because charge pin between iPod and iPhone is different.

I'm actually using a good old iPhone 4... :-)

Do you have only that iPhone? Can you try with another one iPhone or iPod? Do you have +ipod on your VO?

+ipod isn't enabled, as I see it, only $672 needs to be coded as it isn't a MOST (?) interface.

+IPOD actually IS enabled. No menu in radio. Rewrote CAS VO to FRM just to be sure. No difference.

It appears on radio as CD Changer, not as iPod.

I know - it's just not selectable.

Somewhere else, it was recommended to set the +IPOD in the VO, thus me trying that aswell.

I have +IPOD. Then do a reset to RAD2. And try with an iPod. Do a reset to iPod too before connecting to adapter. On my case as I said before it fails a lot, but fails even more with iPhone then with iPod.

Borrowed an interface from a friend - and it worked right away. Turned out to be a blown interface...

It was retrofitted by you?

No, by a previous owner.

Now, I've retrofitted the NBT system from an F30.
