What kind of Ipod do you guys use with your G?

2009 G37xS w/nav.

Ipod touch...1st of 2nd gen..not sure.

Before update to OS4, ipod would not always work when clicking an artist, playing music then backing up a screen to a new artist. I'd always have to back all the way up to the top menu and start over.

Now after OS4 update its dog slow when talking to the car. Seems fine when not talking to the car. Plus...the damn thing didn't charge without the aftermarket adapter ...but now...it doesn't auto sleep after I turn off the car.

What setups are you guys running?

I had a 16GB 1st gen iPod touch. Now I'm using my new 32GB 2rd Gen touch. I had to get a scotch passport for the new one to charge properly but other than that no problems.
I did also just update to iOS4 and haven't had an issue with that either.

I've got a 2nd gen 32GB Touch and it mostly works fine with my 2010. I still have to go all the way out to the top menu to change artists though...

mine does the same thing but i only have my trusty old ipod nano 8gb.
i need an upgrade soon.

i can control most of my the ipod controls on the screen though so no biggy about not being able to control it from the ipod itself.

Right now I have my oldschool 4GB 2nd gen iPod mini hooked up with the OEM cable, it works great and charges without the passport. I have an iPhone 3G, but I tend not to use it to play music in the car.

Yeah, had the same thing with my former (currently non-functional) 30gig 5th gen ipod. But I'm not sure why that's an issue since you can still do all those things like change to a different playlist through the car stereo.

FWIW my iPhone 3G lets me access other functions on the phone when plugged in (except for the "ipod app" -- when I select that it just says "accessory connected") But again, those ipod functions all are accessible from the car so I'm not missing anything. But the 3G doesn't charge with my 2009 G.

I have an iPhone, but I have found it very convenient to simply load my favorite CDs onto the hard drive. I have 65 CDs loaded and it works very well.

Is anyone else using this approach?

I am using the old ipod mini also. 4GB here. I picked one up cheap after i got my G. works great. no issues. no need for a passport. battery in the ipod does not hold charge all that great though, so not great for long runs...haha.

2nd Gen 32GIG. I ALMOST got rid of before I bought the G, good thing I didn't. For some reason though, playing music via usb with my itouch doesn't work as well. the 2nd gen 32gig works perfectly!

our cars have bluetooth audio. simply connect your iphone via bluetooth, like you would to use your bluetooth handset (in car) and flip tot he bluetooth audio page. it'll do all the work for you, and you can stream pandora.
