IPod Car Integration -- What car models actually work?

I am considering purchasing new auto and iPod Integration for me is a "deal-breaker". By Integration what I am primarily looking for is direct audio connection for playback, dash controls for play/pause, skip forward/back, with dash display of current music selection data (e.g. LCD Display). Apple used to publish a list of available automakers/models, but I can't now find it on their website. What actual experience have users had - what actually works?

What Video Cards ACTUALLY WORK with my G5

I have a Dual core 2.3GHz G5 with a GeForce 6600. I really want to upgrade my video card, but as usual, I can't figure out if any card will actual work. I'm really interested in the 7800 GT and GTX. Nvidia's site says that the entire 7 series of cards work in OS X, but none of the companies that actually make the cards have any mention of Mac support. I'm so frustrated because Nvidia doesn't make any cards, the companies that make them make 4 different versions of each card and don't sell them and the places that do sell them know nothing about them. So can someone PLEASE, post links to the actual cards that work in my machine. thank you.

Nvidia doesn't make the Video Cards.
They make the chips (GPU) that run on the Video Card itself. Most of the Nvidia chipsets are supported by Mac OS X.
The problem is that all Video Cards carry a firmware PROM chip that contains the early-boot code for the card as well as the card's internal operating parameters.
There is a PC version of the firmware, commonly called the VGA BIOS, and there is a Mac version of the firmware, which is designed for OpenFirmware.
The two are completly seperate from each other. A PC card will not operate in a Macintosh, nor will a Macintosh card operate in a PC.
That's your problem- is that the Nvidia chipsets support Mac OS X, but the firmware on the card (which, is up to the manufacture which one they include) may or may not support the Macintosh platform.
Saying that, the only two cards available for the G5 is the 7800 GT and the Quadro 4500. Both cards contain the Apple firmware required for the card to work in a G5.
There are no other manufactures who offer Mac G5 compatible solutions, probably due to Apple's unwillingness to release the said Mac firmware for third party video cards. Thus, it's really one or the other, and Welovemacs.com seems to be the only retailer offering ether of the cards for seperate purchase.

HT1438 I just put in a request to send in my ipod for repairs, what is the actual address I send my iPod to?

Just need an address to send my ipod out too. I filled out the online form to send in my ipod, paid the bill with my visa, now I need to know "where" to send it. Didn't see an address

Apple should contact you for a shipping address and of how to ship. Contact Apple if the do not send you the information. Make sure you included the case/repair number if you contact them.

Uploaded 1.2, now Ipod is frozen and touchpad won't work...

OK! So, my ipod was working fine this morning, perfectly! Now, after i donwloaded the new 1.2, it seems to have frozen, or something. I tried to reset it, and it resets fine, then brings me back to the start up menu but the touchpad doesn't work. I can't scroll, i can't select. I tried to restore it, and I have the same problem. When i connect it to Itunes, the computer recongnizes it, but then it freezes on the do not disconnnect sign. I don't know what is wrong, and I am getting kinda ****** off. Please if anyone can tell me what is wrong I would really appreciate it. I just can't believe that the touchpad would just break like that. Any advice?

I just attempted this step to fix my "iPod on Ice" problem and it actually worked like a charm. I have pasted the procedure below...maybe it'll help others!
*To reset an iPod with a Click Wheel, including:
Fifth Generation iPod (also known as iPod with video)
iPod nano
iPod with color display (iPod photo)
iPod (Click Wheel)
iPod mini
iPod mini (Second Generation)
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.

IPhone 3G does not work with car integration after 2.2 update

I just upgraded my iPhone 3G with the new 2.2 software update and now it doesn't work with my car integration. Very frustrating... I have a 2009 Honda Civic that has a USB interface. Before the update I was able to charge and play music through the USB interface. In addition, I could also control the music through the stereo. After the update, it says not compatible and it doesn't even charge the phone anymore. Doesn't anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it? Street view is cool but i will definitely revert back to 2.1 if I can't fix this...

I am having the same problem here After updating to 2.2 the iPhone has stopped working in the car. The stereo just simply refuses to see it. The car in question is a brand new 2009 VW Polo Match, which I know is not as fault as tried it with a iPod nano and worked fine.
Is reinstalling the firmware only solution to this? Do we know the cause yet?

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?

Integration Models: what fields are actually being transferred.

Where can i go to find out what fields are actually being transferred as part of an integration model? Specifically speaking what fields are being transferred to APO and back to R/3 in regards to Planned Orders.
thanks in advance,
Brian

Hi,
A faster way to know this is to see the APO Inbound User Exit Master Data fields for the User-Exit Function. For the Product see the Product Inbound User Exit.
For the Product Master apart from Basic Data (Desc, Weight, Volume, UOMs, Alt UOMs ... etc), the Lead Times, Planning Time Fences, GR Processing Times, Procurement Type and Keys, Lotsizes, LotSize Keys/Methods, Safety Stocks/Times/Coverages, Total Replenishment Lead Time all come across to APO Master data. Most of these fields in R/3 are in the MRP1-4 views and Basic Views.
The ALE Settings for CIF (Models) defines whether these Master Data changes come immediately to APO or not.
I am assuming you know this Trnx in CIF setup. (I have to lookup if you do not).
In the User-Exit Code can be written to block the R/3 from Updating APO Fields.
Similar to Products, there is a User-Exit for every time of Master Data in APO. Best place to look for a complete list is here. Another easier way to test is to Populate all the fields in R/3 and see which show up in APO.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ambrish Mathur

I updated my iPod to iOS6 now it won't work in my car...HELP!?!?

I did the latest update, everything seemed fine, then went and plugged connected it to my car (2012 Maxima) hit play tried to move to the next song and all of a sudden it didn't work. Then I plugged in an iPod that wasn't updated and it worked just fine. HELP!?!?

You can try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
However, sometimes an iOS update breakes compatibility with car systems. I would also contact the car manufacturer.

This an IPOD I bought used. Everything else works fine. It syncs to my computer and plays my music but will not connect to the USB interface in my car. My wife's IPOD, which seems to be identical, works fine. Any ideas?

Then my last suggestion is to Reset it, while connected to the BMW Audio.
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.

HT1430 forgot my ipod touch in the car, and now all it does is brink on and off.. lights up, the apple logo come on but nothing else.. what do i do to reset it??

Well, i forgot my ipod touch in the car, and it snowed so bad and the temperature drop below zero. I thought my ipod was just battery dead, but when i charged it, only the Apple logo comes on and then blank screen. How can i reboot, or reset?? is the battery affected even though the phone wasn't wet??

As long as no moisture got in it... 1st thing to try is give it a few hours to warm up and fully charge the battery, then see if all is working by turning it on. Cold can effect the function. If still not working try a soft reset. Press and hold both the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 15 seconds. Then release both buttons. If that does not work connect to your computer via cable go into iTunes and try Restore from backup. If all else fails, Restore to new. If that doesn't work contact Apple Genius Bar to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck.

Worth getting apple care for the Retina model?

Is it worth geting apple care for the Retina models? have read they can be dodgy...
Since I will have a one year warrenty could I just skip out on apple care untill a month before the warrenty expires as the warrenty will cover all my needs?

From the sounds of it, the Retina 2012 model is so not worth it. I assume that the 2012 retina model is almost like a testing ground to build on future retina models so there will be a lot of bugs to sort out... i assume such bugs like program capabilities with retina will be sorted out by the time the 2013 model comes around?
Have to agree completely with that.
If I was in the market for a new Mac it certainly would not be one of the Retina models. Way to expense for what you get and then there are all the problems with it.
You know I've been doing my work and having fun on computer for over 20 years and never needed a screen like the Retina to actually get things done and make some money.

Problem with iPod Touch and Nissan Car Interface

I have an '09 Nissan Murano with the built in iPod interface. Previous to upgrading to the 3.0 update, the iPod touch and car got along great and everything worked well with the car being able to control the ipod and play music with only the dock connection (not needing to use the headphone jack). However, since the 3.0 update, the car will no longer see the iPod. The iPod shows the Connected to Accessory screen (as it did in the past) however every few seconds, the iPod will flash a quick screen of the iPods normal music screen, then go back to the Connected to Accessory screen. The car just says iPod Not Connected.
Like I said, it worked perfect before I upgraded to 3.0, and to further that, my brother has his touch still on 2.0 software, and it works fine, leading me to be sure that its a problem with the 3.0 update and not the car. I've seen posts like this with other vehicles, but no one seems to have an answer. Wondering who else is having problems like this and if there is ANY solution (besides rolling back my software).
The fact that an update disables iPod branded interfaces seems ridiculous to me. Thanks for any help!

I recently purchased an infiniti FX35 with the ipod integration. After visiting the local apple store "Genius Bar" and speaking on the phone with an "apple expert"; neither the genius bar or the apple expert heard of such an integration option in new cars being sold. They wanted more information from me about how it work rather than them assisting me with my problem.
Anyway, after alot of experimenting I got my ipod touch 2G running firmware 3.1 to work somewhat consistently.
Turn off wi-fi on the touch, power off then back on, go the ipod menu and select playlist. Attach the touch to the infiniti supplied cable through the dock connector. Select the ipod option from dash board. Playlist, songs, artists, etc will appear on the dash display and begin playing.

... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
Skyhook Wireless (I think Apple uses its own database now): http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/
Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car.

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

No, but it will not work. The iPod does not have an amplifier in it that is powerful enough to drive the speakers in your car.
So, do you have a stereo in the car, either factory fitted or one you have had fitted after it came out of the factory? If you do, check to see if the car's stereo either has a dedicated input for an iPod or an auxilary (aux input) socket.
Some modern cars (for example, my 2006 model Mazda 3) have stereos that can be fitted with iPod connectors. I paid to have one fitted to my Mazda's factory-fitted stereo. So now, I connect my iPod to the car's stereo via a dock connector and I have limited control of the iPod from the car's steering wheel. Some cars have more sophisticted control than mine does.
Alternatively, if the car's stereo has an Aux input socket, you only need to buy a headphone-to-headphone lead and connect from the iPod's headphone socket to the Aux input.
If you don't have either of those options, another method is to use a transmitter. These small radio transmitters are connected into the headphone socket of the iPod and then transmit the audio (like radio) so that you can tune your car's radio to the same frequency as the transmitter. You control the iPod as you do when using headphones. The sound quality will porbably not be as good as the dedicated dock connector method, but it's reasonable.
