Working iPod 5th Gen with Alpine Car Stereo CMA9855

Hi
Just wondering whether anyone has tried using the latest iPod with Alpine Car Stereo CMA 9855 with an iPod interface.
Problem - not all artists show up on the stereo screen + can't get quick search to work. Is it an alpine stereo software problem?
Appreciate any feedback.
Dom

I have a Clarion Pro Audio deck/Clarion IPOD connector. My system worked great up until IPOD SW 1.2.
Before, I could control the IPOD on the face of the IPOD. Now, the IPOD works, but it's in locked mode, so I can't browse artists/albums any more. Baiscally, I have to hit RANDOM TRACK mode, and hope I land on a CD I'm in the mood for.
Very frustrating, although GAPLESS is great. (FINALLY!!!!)

3gs work perfect with alpine car stereo i have 4s no compatible radio what i do? ��

Tip of charger less compatible to car stereo and devices?

Well, you could go with a belkin car charger that's white or black to match your ipod., then use a tape adapter or FM transmitter to get the ipod signal to your stereo.
This might be a good start - I enjoy belkin products.

They have transmitters, tape adapters, chargers, and in both colors.

Communication errors when iPod 2nd gen connected to car stereo

So a while back I ultimately decided to update my 2nd gen iPod touch from iOS 3.1.3 to the highest it'll support, which I believe is iOS 4.2.1. The update went fine, and everything seemed to be working alright until I plugged it into my car's stereo as I normally do while going to work and back. I'll detail the problem below.
The stereo is aftermarket, a Pioneer unit, which is probably considered really old by today's standards but for me it still works beautifully. I plug the iPod in via the USB port it has. Before updating the iPod, there were no problems. After the update, specific songs on the iPod will trigger an "Error-19" to display on the screen of the stereo, and all control of the iPod ceases to function. The error refers to a communication error of some sort between the iPod and the stereo. Now the strange thing is that even though this error pops up, the iPod will continue to play the song that caused the error and proceed to the next track when it's done. I have my iPod playing on shuffle so when this error comes up I have to wait for the song to finish and hope the next one doesn't trip the error again when I unplug and plug the iPod back in. Doing that while the song is still playing just produces the same error. Ifthe next track is fine, plugging it back in restores all function.
So while this error isn't the end of the world, it's a brain teaser that's been irking me for a few weeks now. I'm hoping someone may know if something within iOS was changed between 3.x and 4.2.1 that might cause this type of communication error to come up. I originally thought it may have something to do with ID3 tags and some rogue setting that confuses the stereo when it's sent over, but I couldn't really find any major difference between songs that work perfectly fine and those that cause the error to show up. I'm at a loss here so any isight would be appreciated.
Also of note, I am aware that upgrading to a newer stereo or newer iPod will undoubtedly fix this, but I don't really have a need to spend money replacing equipment that is still in working order. Thanks for your time.

Sometimes this works:
- Reset the car system
- 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.
If not then contact the Pioneer. Maybe there is a firmware update available for the car system.
Yes, other users have reported that updated to iOS 4 broke compatibility with some care systems.

IPod 5th gen with limited storage space due to unknown space used? I don't have anything else loaded, how do I find out what this is?

I have a 5th gen 32gb iPod that I use only for music. Usually I update it via wi fi but it recently updated to the new IOS 8. Now it is saying there is limited space capacity for the music because there is 18.85 gb of used space. I don't have any apps or features on the iPod and all the options such as Siri or App store are turned off. I simply carry it in my car for travel music and use my iPhone for all other business that would need apps/etc.
I reset back to the factory settings and did not link back to the iCloud so it did not "reset" the old copy if it was corrupt. My iPhone has a ton of music plus apps, contacts, etc and does not show this same type of memory usage. Any idea what could be using so much and how to get rid of it??

OTHER
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Using my ipod shuffle together with my car stereo

I tried to use a normal cable o listen to my ipod shuffle in the stereo I have in my car and it didn't work. Is there a special cable or it only works with the its own headset?

Hi-
From the Apple Support site http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3472:
When a standard headphone or audio accessory is connected, you can initiate audio playback by simply switching iPod shuffle from the OFF position to the play in order or shuffle position. The iPod shuffle should be in the OFF position for at least three seconds before switching it back on. iPod shuffle will resume playback of the content that was previously being played at a fixed volume level. This volume level cannot be adjusted from the iPod itself. If iPod shuffle is connected to external speakers or a car stereo, volume adjustment may be possible from those devices.
iPod shuffle will pause audio playback when the device is switched off or when the audio accessory is disconnected
Hope this helps

How can I play gmes on ipod 5th gen with ios 7?

When I open up games center, it gives me a list of games that I have, but there is no way to play them. I have searched the manuals and videos and found no mention of this. Am I just missing something?

A.wolf6, just wondering what you expected to add by posting the same answer as the last two repliers but 14 days later.
I'm sorry for posting so much later but I was looking for something else and happened to see this question. Since I've seen some discussions go on for months I didn't realize there was a time limit for posting a reply.
I don't know if you read the first two replies but they both said it wasn't possible to do what the person wanted to do. They want to launch a game from Game Center and the other two replies said they can only open games by using the icon for the game itself. That's not true and I just wanted to let them know. I have only used iPad and iPhone though so I apologize if my suggestion doesn't work for the iPod but my answer was totally different from the first two replies.
I rarely post anything and only post if I think what I have to offer may be helpful to someone. People like you are the reason I don't usually even bother with these forums. At least my post was relevent to the subject and not just a juvenile jab at a random person, why would you take the time to type that? Even if my answer was the same as the first two, why did it make you so angry that I posted it 14 days later? Maybe I am just a level 1 and you're way up there at level 10 but that doesn't mean you need to be obnoxious. It sounds like you woke up in a bad mood--I really hope your day gets better!

I'm buying an ipod 5th gen. with iOS6 can it be upgraded to iOS7?

Yes, it can.

Kenwood X991 & iP200 cable with iPod 5th Gen 80GB does NOT work correctly

I have a conundrum. My wife has the 4th Gen v1.2.1 iPod 30GB which works fine on my Kenwood X991 Head Unit. I recently purchased the "new" 80GB iPod 5th Gen with the latest version "1.0.2" which does NOT work properly. The iTunes software tells me that this 1.0.2 is the latest software.
When I attach my iPod to my stereo, it states "Reading" for eternity. It DOES play music but only plays Alphabetical Order ONLY. There is no ability to stop, change, fast-forward, reverse, etc....the only thing you can do is click "Source" to change to CD Player or Tuner, etc...
Does anybody out there know what is going on? I have a request into Kenwood as well. Thanks in advance for all your help!
-Kingofbytes

Thanks for the help. It's an iPod Classic then 80GB. The unit plays when plugged in but does not allow searching, or switching songs nor displays as it is supposed to. My wife's 30GB works with no problems. Of note:
Her 30GB = v1.2.1
My 80GB = 1.0.2
Mine is newer by about 6 months. Both are the latest software according to the screen.
Kenwood has said to "reset the head unit" and "make sure I've got it plugged in properly". I need to try the reset part next but the last statement is funny to me. I can install a head unit, amplifier, re-run all speaker wire, install a Dual 10" subwoofer box, solder and wire tie all connections from a factory unit to a 3rd party Cable manager kit, but I need to "make sure" I know how to plug in an iPod cable.....laughable.

IPod 5th Gen Won't Connect to Chargers

So I've had my iPod 5th gen with iOS 7.1.2 for a little over a year now, and recently I noticed it wouldn't connect to any chargers I had. I went online and bought a brand new lightning cable to find that that would not work either. Then I read about cleaning my charger port to get dust out, and I did that getting large amounts of debris out of there with a toothpick, but it still will not charge properly. The only way I can get my iPod to charge is to bend the cable (even the brand new one) in a certain direction. Can anyone help me?

DIM/GRAY
See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

My iPod 5th gen won't charge:'(

As stated in the tittle my iPod won't charge. I have looked at a lot of the similar posts but none of them are helpful. I can NOT get into DFU mode, I HAVE read both iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting and iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery pages, I HAVE tried another cable and another wall charger, I HAVE checked all connections/sockets on the iPod, cord, and wallcharger for debree, rust, or other forign materials, and I HAVE tried plugging it into my computer.
Just for clarification, my sister has an iPod 5th gen with the iOS 7.0.4 and her iPod charges on both mine and her cable/wallcharger/computer BUT my iPod does not charge on any combination of those. The nearest apple store is 1hr 29mins from me (I checked!)
Usually computers and tech do not elude my deductive skills but this has me stumped! Please help! Any of such is greatly appriecated!

Mine had been fading for a while before the warranty was up, and then became mostly unchargeable in the eleventh month.
I took it to a Genius bar where they were able to test it and swap it for a new iPod touch.
Just make sure you have done a very careful backup before you go, I have had weird sync problems after the swap, getting my stuff back.
I suggest the simplest method is to clear off just about everything you can, especially the photos. Less to chase when things go pear shaped.

I shared an ipod 5th generation with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. how can i change it for my password and email address so that i can wipe it and start again?

i shared an ipod 5th gen with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. i have the ipod now but no password and would like to put it on my email and password so that i can wipe it clean and start again, any ideas?

The iPod isn't tied to an Apple ID, but is likely tied to an iTunes library. If you want to set it up as a new iPod (as if you were just pulling it out of the box), restore it to factory settings in iTunes.

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...

Alpine car stereo works with iPhone

I've consistently said it would require new hardware but I just found out that firmware 1.1.1 on the iPhone works with my Alpine car stereo just fine.
It does ask (doesn't it always?) if you want to go to airplane mode to reduce interference, but it charges and plays properly, allowing all the iPod functions (list selection, skipping back and forth through tracks, etc). It's very cool (although I still think I'll use my Nano for this -- however in a pinch it might be something I'd do).
For all those looking for a "car" solution the Alpine is at least working just fine. Perhaps other car iPod solutions work with the 1.1.1 update as well (I can't test to be sure). One thing for sure -- it did not work properly prior to this update (I couldn't even get it to charge).

Mike Kelley,
Did you update to 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 which was released this week?
Thank you,
Nathan C.

HT1369 I have an Alpine car stereo with USB port for my iPod, most recently an error message apperared. Now I am having a problem connecting to iTunes via my computer, with windows 7. The screen on my iPod still shows the Alpine logo and "Ok to Disconne

Please help. My iPod froze up after playing in Alpine car stereo. The screen shows the "Alpine" logo and the message "ok to disconnect" I have tried to connect to my PC with little success. Windows 7 does not recognize the iPod with the error message "device error". I have run the iTunes Diagnostics but it still does not recognize device as "connected"

See my reply to "Transferring Tunes" . Suggestion: From what you said, it sounds like you could easily connect this iPod to a Windows computer. Go back to the computer where you have the 3600 songs. Get the files out of the folder where they reside and put them on the iPod as data (your iPod has to be set up for disc use. So you will then have your music on there as the iTunes music AND the data files. Take that iPod to your Mac. Drag those files from the Finder, where you will see them on your iPod, which will mount like an external disc. (It was set up for disc use). Drag those files to your iTunes Library in the Source List (on the left) in iTunes. You might have to drag them into some interim folder on your harddrive first, like the Music folder within your User.

im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless I talk right next to the mic but it sounds low . how can i fix this

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
- 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:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
