Ipod car interface speeds up playback

I just bought a new Prius with an iPod interface. It sees my Nano (maybe 4th gen -- the next to last tall thin one), but the playback is speeded up and sounds like a chipmunk. It makes my audiobooks impossible to understand. Is this a known issue with other interfaces? Anybody have any idea what is going on? The Prius manual is less than helpful.

Same thing happened with my iPhone and my Dension Ice>Link Plus. What I had to do is plug in my 1st gen nano and reset the the Ice>Link to use the "iPod UI". This can be found in the Ice>Link settings area. Read your instructions to figure out how to get access.
On another note, I am now afraid to use my iPhone with the Dension Ice>Link Plus after reading this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1232834&tstart=60 Anyone else have thoughts on this? I have been using it for about 2 months with no problems, but now I worry that I may be damaging the battery or something.... Hmmm??? I hope Dension responds soon.

Alpine ipod car interface not wokring with the iPhone.

I noticed that my Alpine ipod car interface, which connects to the iPod with a universal connector does not work with my iPhone, not even in Airline mode, which is too bad because it would keep it charged while driving.
Macpro, Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This is not the case
EDIT: Kind of frustrated, I typed an entire response, but this is all that was submitted.
I plugged my iPhone in while listening to music and my Alpine deck picked it up and I was able to control it. Also, I received a call and my music paused allowing me to answer the phone. It was all rather invigorating because I didn't think it would work so well.
Anyways, try playing music before plugging into the deck. It is possible that the iPhone does not always have the iPod "software" running and therefor the deck was not able to see an "iPod" plugged in.

Sony iPod Car Interface - Shuffle Issue

Recently bought a Sony CDX-GT300 car stereo & Sony iPod adaptor XA-110IP. Have a 30gb gen-5 iPod. Overall love the sound quality (hardwired 'base' connection versus iTrip's RF method). Problem is every time I turn the car on, the iPod starts with the same song instead of keeping the "all shuffle" settings I used on the Sony car player. This is super irritating having to hear this same song everytime and having to reset the thing to "all shuffle". If anyone out there has this problem, please help! Sony (Cruthfield) and BestBuy (where I bought from) were totally unhelpful. I can't believe I'm the only having this issue.

I have the same issue with the same iPOD and I "chatted" with Sony about this issue. The guy, Nolan, was not helpful. He wasn't familiar with the adapter at all. I am thinking of trying to chat with another person at Sony to see if that helps but I am not hopeful.
You may be doing this already, but what I have done so I don't keep hearing that annoying song everytime I turn on my car - I begin playing a song on my iPOD before I plug it into the adapter and then the car stereo will continue to play it. It isn't the most convenient but until I hear a fix from Sony that is what I am doing.
I also use the iPOD to find artists or albums that are buried deep down the list (the middle of the alphabet) then plug it back in. It is quicker than holding down the button on the stereo. Again, not convenient but it works.
I agree with you, the sound is great and it is unfortunate that Sony's iPOD adapter is not up to par with the rest of their equipment.

New version 4 OS and iPod car interface

I recently upgraded the OS to iOS4 on my 3GS and now iTunes does not connect or play on my car stereo, which is iPod/iPhone compatible.
The car stereo worked fine before and now the device connection is not recognized. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Make sure ipod is not runing in the background BEFORE you connect the usb cable. that solved my problem in my Acura

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.

Remote XUL no longer available in Firefox to set interface speed to broadband by internet provider

We had some problems with thunderbird lately and had to redo some settings. When resetting my email account on the server to 'Interface speed' from Simple (Dialup) to Advanced(Broadband) it comes up with the message: REMOTE XUL - this page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default in Firefox. I have version 7.0.1

Support for remote XUL was dropped a while back because it was a constant source of security concerns. If you find any website or application still using it you should report it as a bug to its developers.
There is a [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remote-xul-manager/ Remote XUL Manager extension] which can be used to allow it to trusted sites on an individual basis if you really need it, but the only cases where this should legitimately come up are XUL code examples and some enterprise's internal software systems.

Audi 2005 Car Interface - How to Downgrade Touch to 2.2.1

I have a newly installed car interface in an old (2005) Audi. This box is the only one compatible with my Audi Symphony sound system - the ones in new cars are problem free, I understand, but buying a new car for my iTouch seems like a radical solution...
Anyway, my Touch 2G iOS 3.0 plays back fine, but doesn't charge. Turning the radio off doesn't turn off the iTouch, so, if I forget to manually shut down (which I do every day) the battery is dead after work.
I recently borrowed an iTouch 2G iOS 2.2.1, identical to mine in every way except for the older version of iOS. Low and behold, the radio "on-off" controls the iTouch under 2.2.1!
I don't have apps, I don't use the iTouch for anything except my long commute. Downgrading to 2.2.1 would be a perfect solution for me.
Does anyone know how to do this?

My guess is that Apple doesn't offer the 7.1 installer online b/c they want to promote users to move up to Tiger. That's reasonable from a marketing and software development perspective, but for ProTools users, that's not yet a viable option. I thought I could get the 7.1 installer from the Apple site, but it's only the updater & it requires a previous install of 7.1.
Also, I'm making an assumption that my 7.2 authorization will allow me to run 7.1, but I don't know if that's really the case.
It should be easier to upgrade from Platinum to any later version - i.e. one that actually works in my situation.
Thanks for your comments.

Speeding up playback

Other than using proxies or bringing in rendered sections of the node tree what are the best ways of speeding up playback?
Oh, and I'm having trouble losing the links to files when I move a project.
I've tried changing the environment variables and Shakes project now picks up the correct location but not the links.

Relative paths are +relative to the location of the shake script.+
In other words, if you're starting from scratch, you need to save
the script with or near the media before you can use relative paths.
In my workflow, I usually keep Shake scripts in the same directory
as the media. By using relative filepaths, I can move the whole
directory and everything will work.
The important thing is whether +FileIn's imageName parameter+
is the full path or the relative path. Typically, I'll just edit the imageName
so that only ./ and the file name remain.
There is a shortcut. In the FileIn browser, if you
enable the browser to accept relative file paths (icon)
and
uncheck "show full path" (checkbox)
then you can type in the file name, starting with ./
and the resulting FileIn node is created with the relative filepath.
In this mode, you can also click on the file in the browser,
and add the ./ in front of the name.
So that technique can save you some time.
More details on this subject are available in the Shake manual.
Check out page 40 and page 112.

Updater - ipod usb interface not recognised at PC

I have a a 15GB ipod with dock connector. It was working fine playing songs and was visible from my Windows XP PC via the single USB cable. I could see ipod files.
I downloaded ipod updater 2005-09-23 and selected update.
Thereafter :-
Ipod is no longer recognised by the PC, it gives - "usb device not recognised" when the menu button is pressed.
The ipod screen is blank. Reset gives the apple logo then the icon asking to connect the cable ( which is already connected).
Other usb interfaces on the PC give the same message.
Other devices connect OK to these USB interfaces.
The cable was working prior to the update.
Another PC ( compaq laptop ) gives the same "usb interface error message" when the ipod is connected.
the problem is within the ipod usb interface.
The updater appears to have corrupted/changed the ipod "usb interface"
I am unable to update again or restore as no connection available to the PC.
How can I restore the ipod's usb connectivity?

I went out and bought a firewire cable today.
The ipod was immediately recognised and ITUNES updated. I then connected the USB cable. It now works OK as well. I am so relieved.
On the updater screen, if you right click on the top bar, it drops down the "ipod models" updated by this version.
For my model it shows a firewire icon on the ipod. Is this co-incidence? I expect so.

Charging iPhone with iPod car charger/FM Transmitter - Damage battery?

I used a new ipod car charger/FM transmitter to charge my old original model iphone and got a message popping up that the device isn't made to charge the iphone but it would charge so I left it in. Ever since then, my battery seems to be dying much, much faster than normal. Could I have damaged the battery?

Possible that the circuitry or output levels of the charger was not an exact match to the desired voltage or resistance of the 30 PIN connector and thus caused an issue with the battery...but it's not very likely that this alone caused your battery to all of a sudden not hold a charge...

Realtek AC97: accelerated speed of playback

Hi,
I have an old computer with Windows XP and very fresh Arch Linux in dualboot. Everything works fine, but sound card plays sounds, in both OS, with accelerated speed. Playback of music, or any other system sound, are maybe two times faster, than normal.
Thanks for your advices. I hope that is not a HW problem with soundcard.
Configuration of PC
MOTHERBOARD: MSI MS-6566E 1.0
CPU: Intel Celeron 2.20 GHz
SOUND: Realtek AC'97 Audio
RAM: DDR 1536 MB
Thank you. J.

OK, so you use Audacious. Start with switching output device to "hw:0" instead of "default" to ensure that we are working directly with hardware.
This probably isn't the case, but maybe your 44kHz files are played back at 48kHz without resampling. Once you switch to "hw:0", hw_params should definitely show "rate: 44100" when playing such files (or the card may refuse to play them at all if it's 48kHz-only).
It's possible that the card is stuck at higher sample rate (probably 96kHz) than software tells it to use. Enable "resample" effect plugin and tell it to output at 96kHz (or 48kHz as well, who knows what will happen).
Maybe the card thinks it's being fed 4- or 6-channel signal and sends part of samples to some phantom channels. Try changing output to "surround40" or "surround51".
Try 16 or 24 bit output format, IIRC AC97 is limited to 20 bits anyway.
Finally, there is a "speed and pitch" plugin; set both to 0.5 and all will be good, at least for Audacious

Ipod touch podcast speeds

Whenever I try to play a podcast on my ipod touch, the speed is automatically set to 1 1/2 x which is too fast. How do I set the default so that the podcasts start at 1 x speed?
thanks for any assistance.

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.
- Delete all podcasts and resync
To delete all Podcasts go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Podcasts and delete them if you can
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

The iPod Connector and using a car interface

I just bought a Video iPod and a new Acura RL. They offer an iPod connector as a $600 option. I bought it. It's so horrible that words cannot define how bad it works. Imagine an ipod stashed in the glove box and the only control you have is to advance to the next song in shuffle mode.
All I ever wanted on this car was a line-in jack. Why is that so hard for car manufacturers to get? So anyway, here's what I am looking for. Does someone know a way to connect audio into the male connector (that plugs into the ipod) so I can run a wire from the glove box and leave the ipod on my console? This way, the horrible voice interface won't be a problem and I can see the ipod and control it directly, while still have line-in quality to the stereo system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I have a 2006 Acura RL and had the IPOD integration
installed yesterday. Bought a new photo IPOD. I get
it to work beyond being able to skip to the next
song in a shuffle, and Acura dealer has no clue. Is
it me or the equipment? Moreover, even if I get it
to work, it looks like all you will get is a hard to
hear voice giving you the first letter of a song or
album. What a disappointment. Any suggestions?
There's an 800 # you can call 800-382-2238 which is the Acura Customer Care Line and they will record your dissatisfaction. If enough people call, we will get some results.
I drove over to my radio shop (had a concealed radar detector installed) and he found the box they installed over the glove box. There's two possibilities: find a way to connect to the cable Acura drops in our glove box (audio in) and at least we can have the iPod in the cup holder and see what's playing. Or, wait for Acura to come out with their next gen of this stupid box. I am writing a letter to a few of the automobile magazines to let them know, since ipod integration is about the hottest auto accessory since the CD player.
Another option: Complain to your dealer and ask for a refund. They will probably uninstall it and give you your money back. You would lose the ability to pump the ipod into the RL's incredible stereo, which (as I am sure you have noticed) sounds fantastic.
Lets stay on top of this. If enough people raise their voice we may get an improved version some time soon.

Ipod nano 4th Gen. doesn't charge on AUDI A3 2009 standar car interface

Hi,
I'm quite dissappointed with both, my ipod and Audi's interface... i don't know whom to blame, but more likely i think that this might be a firmware issue of my ipod.
The ipod connects just fine to the car but it won't charge while playing... Can some one guide me on the reasons of this, is Audi's fault? (the manual of audi says that ipod will begin to charge inmediatly after connected)... without charging the whole purpose why i bought the ipod is meaneng less?
I'm also interested in a workaround in order to charge ipod in the car, but maybe the charging adapters won't work either..
thanks for the help

Hi,
I have the same issue but with 2009 Mercedes AND my new iPod Nano does not charge either when I put it in the Bose speaker system at my house. Had no issues with my older iPod Nano (worked in the car and with the Bose). This is very frustrating because like the first writer commented; the whole reason for having an IPod in your car is lost if it does not charge. So is my only option really to buy separate additional chargers for my car and the home Bose system? Nice... would have kept my old iPod if I would have known this
Thank you so much if someone can help!!

IPod on 3Gs previously had playback speed control, but it's now gone. How to recover?

Running version 4.3.5 (8L1). iPod no longer shows email, scrubber bar, 30-sec repeat, or playback speed button. These were there a few weeks ago. Did they get dropped in an update?

Performed full restore and resync. It seems that restore pulled code off my hard drive -- could this be corrupt (low network traffic at that time)? Update says my phone is up to date.
