3rd Gen Nano click wheel won't work in the car.  My OLD one worked, but this one doesn't.

I use a  PXDP iPod2Car iPod interface in my 02 Firebird.  My original, trusty 3rd gen. nano used to work perfectly.  It charged, and the steering wheel as well as main stereo controls operated it.  Something happened to it recently (my guess is the logic board went bad) and it does not come on at all, plugged in or not.  I actually have 2 more just like it that I was going to give away, but decided to keep.
Neither one of these will let me use the click wheel to scroll while plugged into the car - the old one did.
I can only change songs with the car's controls.
The only difference between these two and the old one, is that they have the HP logo on the back.  Are they later models, with perhaps different hardware?
Is there anything I can do about it?
Is there any hope for the old one?
I hate not being able to scroll at all!
thanks in advance!

Contact PXDP.  They should know if their product is compatible with your iPod Nano.
Why won't my iPod play through my iPod speakers or car kit?

  • 3rd gen ipod click wheel.

    My 3rd gen nano click wheel doesn't work. I have reset my ipod. I can't get the click wheel to respond to my touch. The center button works but it is REAL slow to respond. Any suggestions?

    Oddly enough I just found out by accident that the click wheel works perfect..... when the usb cable is plugged into the computer. I click eject in itunes and then I use the click wheel freely. If I unplug the usb from the computer or from the iPod it stops working. Anyone have this same problem?

  • Songs not playing properly on 3rd gen iPod (click wheel)

    I have a large amount of songs on my iTunes and iPod, and I often buy new music (from sources other than iTunes) to add to me collection. After updating my iPod last night to add a new album that I purchased, I noticed today that certain songs on my iPod would not play properly. When they come up in the cue or are selected to play manually, they appear on the screen, stay at "0:00 elapsed" for a second or two, then the iPod simply switches to the next cued song, as if this song has come to an end. If it's the only song in the cue, the iPod reverts to the general Menu screen.
    I checked my iTunes to see that the songs were still in my library and that I did not move or delete the source. None of the affected songs had the "This song cannot be found" exclamation point next to them, and they all played fine on my computer through iTunes, but they simply wouldn't work on the iPod. I updated my iPod tonight in hopes that the mistake would correct itself, but nothing's happened.
    Since this is a rare problem, I haven't been able to find any FAQs or solutions regarding it. I hope someone has the answer.
    Thanks for your time.

    I have the exact same thing happening. I just bought the new Foo Fighters album, the songs play on iTunes, but will not play on my iPod. I have updated my iTunes and iPod to try to get it to play with no success. With the iPod in the sourcelist, I can play the songs from the iPod music list, but not once the iPod is undocked from my PC the song titles come up for a brief second then skip to the next song on the album without ever playing any audio. I even tried to delete the album and reload it. Never had this happen with any other songs, artists, etc.

  • My Ipod Nano 4th gen click wheel won't work will apple be able to fix this?

    My Ipod Nano 4th Gen's Click Wheel won't work.Is there a way that Apple can repair this for me and how much will it cost?

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for the 16 GB one and $149 for the others. You can send it to Apple or exchange it at an Apple store
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Now I found the recording folder in my 3rd gen nano ..I guess they can rec

    Just to be sure I've not made a mistake...
    Can the 3rd gen Nano record voice memos now,... the recording folder is there when I click on my Nano's icon.
    Trouble is I cannot find a compatible Mic.... Does anyone have one or know of a Mic that will work ?
    kindest,

    Hi, thanks for trying to help, appreciated
    You'd think they'd be compatible but there not, unfortunately,.. according to the write up in the store anyway, I don't understand why there not , strange 'mistake' by Apple.
    The search continues....

  • 3rd gen nano. Lock click wheel volume control but NOT track control???

    My title basically says it all. I have a 3rd gen Nano that I want to use solely for a car and it won't be removed. Problem? The track control has to be done on the iPod itself as the car stereo won't do it, but the volume can be controlled by the car's head unit. That said I want the iPod volume to always be on max. Apparently the volume lock feature isn't what I'm looking for, nor is the hold switch. I want to lock the volume from being controlled by the scroll wheel but still be able to change tracks using the scroll wheel... without having to go into a menu or anything. The iPod will eternally be on shuffle and any track changes will just be skipping songs... and all done blindly just by touch... hence why it's driving me nuts I keep scrolling the volume down. Hope that makes some sense. I'm long-winded and wordy but not always clear. Lol

    The system won't seem to let me post this anywhere... it's saying I'm not allowed whatever that means. Exception being this community. So sorry if I pi** everyone off by listing in the wrong location.

  • My i pod nano click wheel doesn't work. how do i fix it?

    my i pod nano click wheel has stopped working. My i pod still works when in my docking station but the wheel doesn't. Anyone got any ideas what I can do? I've tried to restore settings but that hasn't worked.

    That is a hardware issue.  Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  If you want to DIY - iPod Repair Tutorials

  • My ipod nano click wheel will not work - Ipod works when docked on mobile speakers from remote control

    My ipos Nano click wheel will not work, however when it is docked on mobile speakers it will work from the remote control.

    If it continues to malfunction after a restore, it's probably bad hardware.
    I'd recommend making a Genius Bar appointment. They'll probably give you a couple options: Replace it with an identical model for a discounted price, or trade it in for recycling and get 10% off a new iPod.

  • Scosche earphones that work with 3rd gen Nano

    The original earphones that came with my 3rd generation 8 GB Ipod Nano recently got destroyed and I'm looking to buy a replacement set. I'd like to upgrade to a set with better sound quality and in the in-ear style that blocks out ambient noise. I've heard really good things about the Scosche IDR655m but I notice that in their compatibility listing they only list the Nano 5th generation.
    All I'm really looking for is great sound and the noise-blocking feature of the in-ear style. I really don't care if the remote or mic features work. I didn't have them on my previous set and I don't mind having to skip songs or increase/decrease volume by messing with the actual Ipod.
    What I'm wondering is...would the Scosche IDR655m still work and give me good sound quality and ambient noise reduction on a 3rd gen Nano? Or is there another more basic Scosche product that you would recommend that would still give me all of the great sound on a Nano 3rd gen but without all of the "bells and whistles" of the remote and mic features?

    Could be. Are the phones you want to use the kind with a mic and button (like you would use with a smart phone)? I bought some V-Moda headphones to use with a Nokia phone, and thought I could use the button to answer the phone, but every time I plugged them in, the phone would think I was trying to dial a number. The phones didn't give me any problem with my iPod Classic 160, but it was an older one. If that's what you use, maybe try some more standard phones to see.
    Maybe not the problem, but all I could think of.

  • My click wheel won't work, and I don't know what to do..

    Could someone please help me out here? I have an Ipod Video, and the click wheel won't work at all. The only times the ipod will respond are if I toggle the hold button, or reset the ipod. Does anyone know what's wrong with my ipod?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What happens when you press play? Does it play anything? Do the buttons work?
    Also, you may want to try a restore as well...

  • 3rd Gen Nano random shutoff requiring reset

    My sister got a 3rd Gen silver coloured Nano for her birthday back in May. Since mid-September, she's been having a problem where it will randomly shut down and nothing will work to get it to turn on again except a reset, even with an apparently full battery. It's getting to the point where I have to reset several times a day, just so she can use it. I'm wondering is this is a common problem and if there are any troubleshoots for it other than continuing to reset it?
    It should be noted that she's using the iPod on a computer running Windows Vista, as I'm the only mac user in the family.

    A friend gave me her 3rd Gen Nano today, and it had exactly the same problem you're having.  I also tried all the Apple support suggestions, and nothing they suggested worked. (Like you say, resetting doesnt work without the menu button!) This may sound crazy, but this little trick worked:
    Press the click wheel firmly, and run your finger around and around it, as if you're scrolling, pressing firmly the whole time. The screen may go nuts, but don't worry about it. Press counter clockwise several time and clockwise several times. I had to do this probably ten times, but it worked!
    I guess that when dirt or debris gets lodged under one of the buttons this method can help dislodge whatever is in the way and get the button working again. It's free, easy, and definitely worth a try. It got my menu button working again when nothing else did.

  • 3rd Gen nano (RED) screen issue

    I've just got my 3rd Gen nano (RED) but it seems that there is an issue with the backlight of the screen. Initially, when I tried to charge it with my MacBook with the USB cable, it didn't charge at all. I have to plug it into the power adapter to get it charging.
    Also, I have to press the screen to get the backlight to "work" otherwise I can hardly make out what's on the screen.
    What can this be? Also, is it a case of the iPod being fully drained of power? Please help! I'm getting this as a Christmas present for my girlfriend

    To address the charging issue, make sure you are connecting the ipod to a high powered USB port (2.0) for it to properly charge on your computer. Often these ports are on the back of the computer, not on the front or the keyboard.
    Yes, if your ipod is very low on battery charge the backlight will not come on.
    Also, you should not have to touch the screen to turn on the backlight. In fact if it comes on when you touch the screen it is defective. It is only supposed to come on when you touch the clickwheel.
    You should probably check to see what you have your backlight settings set to on the ipod. I have mine set to 10 seconds, so it comes on when I touch the click wheel and the light turns itself off after 10 seconds. If this is the behavior you see on your ipod, it is working fine. If you want to extend the time it stays on, you can set it to stay on longer under the settings. be advised the backlighting does use battery power, and your playlife may be affected by having the backlight on a lot.

  • Ipod Nano Click Wheel games

    I wanted to know if the Click Wheel games are compatible with the 5th Gen Nano. The sys reqs only go up to 4th gen. Will they still work?
    Regards,
    One5860

    Not all games work properly. Checker and Reversi do not work. In addition some other games that do work cause iTunes to not recognize the iPod with the message 'An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly'.

  • 3rd Gen Nano connects and then QUICKLEY disconnects on an XP machine

    Below are two postings I made in a different discussion area. The 30g iPod is now working fine, the Nano is as stated in the second post. Please to help me out? As stated below Apple says it works and it does on the wrong machine! As many of you out there know, sometimes a husbands and a wifes taste in music are different. I would like to keep my music on my machine. Thanks, reo52............
    I have been running very well with my 30g Video iPod. I got an 8g nano as an award. I had just upgraded iTunes, tried hooking the nano up and now nothing works! iTunes never did find the nano. Did the r,r,r,r,r thing but could only reset because iTunes can not see the nano. Later I was syncing the 30g and was ejecting it and got a message stating it could not be ejected as there are files on it being used by another program. Did the 5R's on he 30g, the unit was syncing and the battery went low and interrupted the sync. Now iTunes can't see the 30g or the 8g. I did a reinstall of iTunes and still nothing. This is driving me to drink, HELP if you can. Thanks, reo52.............
    Well, I sent the Nano in, it came back, Apple found no problems with it. When trying to sync it acted as before. With Apple on the phone I tried syncing to my wifes machine!?? I'll be dammed it synced right up!???! Well Apples says it works because it works on my wifes machine!! Well, why wont it work on my PC?!!. Both machines are running up to date iTunes, both have the same firewalls and virus programs and both are running XP with all service packs and updates installed. Now I can work around this for awhile but I have got to get that Nano to sync with my machine. Help if you can and Thanks again, reo52

    To Apple,
    822 unresolved problems in "Connecting 3rd Gen Nano to a Windows Machine" , 25-50% on each page are problems with connecting a Nano in Windows and getting it recognized in Windows or iTunes or syncing errors(1st 5 pages). I think this qualifies as a serious problem. Many state that their Nano works on a different Windows machines and or an Apple machine, but not the one they use. Others and myself have sent their Nanos beck and Apple. Apple states "unit works fine, can not reproduce problem, or words to that effect" then Apple sends it back! It still will not work for the customer. So who has the problem? Owners who can not use their Nano? Apple who has the owners cash but maybe not their goodwill? I do not know, but I can see a Customer satisfaction problem developing. So APPLE please do your best to resolve this situation. It could be to your own advantage and help with those 822 unresolved problems on the Nano Pages. Thanks, reo52
