Iva-D310

Well i recently got this AMAZING deck. Finally figured out how the whole p-eq works, but i'm still trying to figure out about my ipod. I have a 120gb classic ipod, and tried to use it with the KCA-420i but it doesn't seem to work. The ipod doesn't even say "Alpine" on the screen after i plug it in. Anyone have ideas of what this could be?

Thanks for any feedback

is the 420 plugged into the right spot on the d310 brain? is the ipod turned on before you plug it in? is the ipod locked?

i have the d310 with the 420 and i always make sure the ipod is on (screen lit up not playing music) and i just plug it in. make sure you're going into the cd changer screen and then you want changer #2, which will be the ipod. everything will then be controlled by the d310.

The ipod was on, and unlocked. Its plugged into the Ai Net output in the brain, which i believe is the right one. I plug in my ipod, wait, then click source, and where the ipod selection should be there's just a blank square.

check the software version on the d310. It may need to be updated.

Didnt even know you could update the d310. I'll have to check into that.

i never heard of a software update either but you can make sure the ipod software is up to date.

Well I called Apline Tech Support. Turns out my iPod is "to up to date" lol. Since the 420 and the 310 are both older models they dont support the new 6th generation ipods. Only 5th and below. Oh well. Gotta get a used ipod now lol.
