Control at ipod no longer works in car

This past Christmas I had an ipod adapter installed in my Hummer-3 (2006)
Everything was working fine.
With the most recent update (1.1.1), I am no longer able to control my ipod THRU THE IPOD.
I brought my car into the dealer that installed the ipod adapter, and they came to the conclusion that the software update to itunes & ipod is where the proboem is.
To fix this - I've tried going back to the older version in both itunes & ipod - but, without success. I get library version conflicts.
Please help Me !!!!!!!

Man, I'd really like to help you.
Although I never had, until now, to downgrade, I think the post below b y Sue Marsh, might help you doing it.
I’m still holding up to my 1.0.3, mainly because of my car interface, which I’m almost sure will stop working with 1.1, or 1.1.1 – call it a feeling – such are the messes created with these never-ending, never-working-properly-upgrades
Hope this will be of some help – the thread is long enough, so I cut for you what I think is the most relevant part
Good luck

Re: Classic Firmware 1.1: What's new?
Posted: Jan 29, 2008 12:17 PM in response to: dragon21
The 1.1 upgrade is usually in this folder on a Windows PC; C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. When you have found the 1.1 upgrade, follow the steps below; 1. Disconnect your iPod and close iTunes2. Remove the files for 1.1 (delete them, move them to another folder, whatever).3. Make sure you have both files for v1.0.3 in their proper location ie in the iPod software updates file (the one mentioned at the beginning of this message).4. Reopen iTunes and select Edit > Preferences. A dialogue screen headed "iTunes" will open. On the tab marked "General", click the box labelled "Check for updates automatically". (The check box should now be clear.) Click OK at the bottom of the screen to close the iTunes dialogue screen.5. Now connect your iPod.6. Click the "Restore" button7. Answer yes when asked if you want to install older firmware8. Let the update do its thingIf you find that you do not have v1.0.3 on your computer (see step 3 above), there is a website (mentioned earlier in this thread) where you can download it;http://rapidshare.com/files/73863240/1.0.3.zip.htmlI hope this helps. If not, post again for more help. Sue"

IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

Ipod no longer works in car after software upgrade

After doing the most recent software upgrade on my ipod touch, the device is no longer recognised when i cnnect it to my car stereo (infinity). How can i uninstall the last upgrade??

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometime the iOS update breaks compatibility and yo have to wait for either an iOS update or a firmware update for your car system.

Why does my ipod no longer work with my alpine car stereo

my ipod connects directly to my alpine car stereo and up til now it has worked great. i recently synced my ipod to my computer and i think it updated the software on my ipod and now my ipod no longer works with my alpine stereo. what is up? did apple change something that would make my ipod no longer compatible with my car stereo? if so, what do i do? i have about $1000 invested in my car stereo and ipod specifically for car use. this is a serious issue for me! i just want my ipod to work like it did…
i just connected my friends ipod and it works fine. he has version 1.1.1 software on his. i have version 2.3 on mine. since my ipod works fine by itself i’m assuming that the incompatibility between my ipod and my alpine is due to the software update.
here again, what do i do? how can i get an older version of software back on to my ipod?
ipod v.2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

My computer with my itunes crashed. I can no longer use that computer. My ipod no longer works so I bought a new one. I would like to download my itunes that I have but I don't know how to get the information onto my new ipod.

Your itunes purchases for music, etc are tied to your itunes account - any computer (up to 5) can be authorized with your iTunes account information. Enter your iTunes account name and password in the iPod - you don't say which version of iOS is on your iPod so more details can't be given until knowing that.

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

The "slide to unlock" on my elderly touch ipod no longer works.

The "slide to unlock" touch slider on my elderly touch ipod no longer works. My finger can move it three-quarters of the way then it pops back to the left. With struggle, I can sometimes combine the on screen slider moved as far to the right as I can get it then tap the hardware button on the bottom. I just have to keep trying over and over. An arrow appears at the top of the ipod that, when tapped, leads into the most recent song I was listening to before I turned it off. Just removing the earphones turns it off. Otherwise, I would just leave it on. The ipod works just fine once I get past that slider bar at the start. Help!

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch no longer working in car?

Hi there,
Both my ipod touch and nano are no longer working in the car. We have a USB port etc and have not had any issues until now. We just plugged it in, pressed CD/AUX and that was it. Now it just says "Unsupported" on the screen. Any ideas?

snoakes wrote:
That's likely it but I don't understand what that means.
It means that either:
(a) Your stereo never did fully comply with Apple's communication protocol. The only reason it worked before was because Apple previously did not use something in the defined protocol until now. Now that they are, your stereo no longer communicates with the iPod. Apple is still complying with their protocol, but your stereo can no longer capitalize in a prior limitation in the iPod OS.
OR
(b) Apple either did not define the protocol completely (or accurately), or they muffed the code that would ensure compliance to their own defined protocol.

Will it ever work again? Any way around this. Seems kinda dumb to update something and then suddenly it no longer works with the stuff I have (ie a car!!)
You can see if there is a firmware update for your stereo, or you can wait and hope for a change in the iPod OS someday that will restore functionality. You might also be able to step down a revision in your iPod OS.
In any case, you can report your problem here:

IPod Touch nto working in car or iHome.

I have an iHome (IH22SV) and an 2008 Scion Xd. I used to be able to dock my iPod with both and have no issues. The scions connects through the special iPod cable, and not the basic AUX input. I was always able to navigate the ipod through my radio's interface fine. As for my iHome, it used to work perfectly. Now i have trouble with both.
With my car, the radio recognizes my ipod...and if i have already been playing an album or playlist, it will pick up where i was before docking, but when i use radio controls to go to albums..my radio tells me the Ipod has No Albums, or Artists, Panelists, Songs...etc. And my iHome no longer seems to be able to 'find' my iPod. I can dock the ipod and press play and the radio plays, but if i set an alarm the alarm goes off by the default alarm tone, not the music on my ipod, like it used to.
I racked my brain, and am almost certain I did nothing between the time when it worked properly to when it stopped. No software updates, no drops, whatever. It just seemed to no longer work properly with any peripheral.
Anyone have any ideas?

Look in your iPod's dock connector port and clean out any pocket lint or debris that may be interfering with the connection.

TS1702 apps I purchased for my ipod no longer work because my ipod is 4.2 and the app has be upgraded but needs 4.3 but I cant upgrade to 4.3 so what do I do

apps I have purchased from apple no longer work because they have been upgraded and will now only work on 4.3........my ipod is 4.2 so how do I resolve this, my ipod is up to date with the updates it can accept

If you didn't keep any compatible copies of them, you can't use them without buying a newer device.

IPod mini only works with car charger!

My iPod mini only works when it is plugged into a car charger. It is 4 months old. It does not work (frozen - no response or display at all) on its own, or plugged into the AC charger, or the USB connection on the computer. I have tried the reset procedure several times and with different power connections with no results. The iPod seems perfectly fine when using a car charger otherwise nothing! Whats going on!!?!?!
Anyone else with this problem??

Try to reset it.
Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until you see the Apple logo. This should take about 6 seconds. Also, you want to do this procedure while your iPod is connected to your computer. Ipods are supposed to work with USB port cable and AC Adapters, not only car chargers.
If this doesn't work, then try to update it using iPod Updater software. Open iPod Update, plug in your iPod to your computer and wait until the software recognizes it. Once it does, you should be able to click on the "Update" button. If you can't, click "Restore"

IPod Classic not working in car but works everywhere else. Troubleshooting?

My iPod is not working with my Infiniti iPod jack but all other iPods work fine with the in-car system. My iPod synchs fine to my Mac and to an external stereo player through the connector on the bottom of the unit. So it looks like both units work fine with any iPod, but only my iPod will not work with the car while it does work with other connections. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks for any help.
BTW, the Infniti is a 2008 G37 and the dealer just put a brand new unit in it and the same thing happened. The iPod is a 2008 80GB Classic.
Heeeelp!!!!

I have the same problem with my infiniti G37. Soo frustrating!
