I got the same 160 GB Ipod Classic Video as Boomer does, works flawlessly, charges itself without the Scotch Passport that you need for the iphone and itouch and goes into sleep mode when you shut off the car, you'll only need to take it out of the car if you need to put music or videos on it. highly recomend!

and there you have it folks. sorry for false hope

Yeah, the general consensus here if anyone wondering about it searches the archives is that the 7th gen 160GB iPod classic model works the best with the 2009-2008 G37 iPod connection. That's what I'm planning to get to replace my broken iPod.

I use the ipod 160GB classic. It works flawlessly!!!

So I'm planning to go buy an Ipod to use in my car. That's the model I was considering since it seems like I can use it for working out too. I was wondering why would I need a scotch passport for it? I have the 2010 model.

Mockenrue

Actually, it's the Scosche Passport. In my 2009, the passport is needed to charge the newer generation iPods (where they changed the pin-outs I think). It is very useful for me because I just leave my nano in the car full time and only take it out to refresh once every couple of weeks. Probably not needed for the 2010 since it has the USB.

I've got a 20Gb iPod (don't know what generation...but it's the one that plays video). It worked great in the G after I installed the latest firmware on the iPod.

Thanks Mockenrue.

I saw on another thread here that when using an Ipod, you can display album art. Is this true for the 2010 models?

Noremac

Yes, it is. Album art is displayed not only in the iPod mode, but also when playing MP3's from CD/DVD or the Music Box that have that info embedded in their metadata.

[edit: It seems that this feature is only available on cars with the Nav option]

Dunno if anyone else has the problem with the 4th Gen Nano 8GB (might need a firmware update) but when the playlist ends, you have to disconnect the iPod, start up a new playlist and hit play (while disconnected), then reconnect and only then will the G control/play it. Charges just fine though.

How do I turn on that feature? I've been plugging in my iphone and my sister's iTouch and have been searching the settings but no luck.

Noremac

After reading the owner's manual, it seems that the feature is only available with the Nav option, in which case it is turned on in the Audio Settings menu.

Oh, no wonder I can't find anything on it. I wonder why that's something only included in Nav only; it's not even related. Well anyways, thanks Noremac!
