Ipod Classic work?

Does anyone know if the ipod classic will work on the G37? If so, has anyone tested it out and how did you like the interface?

I have an 80gb ipod that I bought earlier this year, it worked in the G37S that I test drove.

Edit: But there wasn't any selection for video that we could see, I believe you have to hook it up via the rca cables for that and it only works in park or with the parking brake on.

I have an 80GB classic that works great. As for the video you do need a seperate cable to plug into the RCA jacks for it to work.

I have a quick question about that, does that cable plug into what the ipod interface would be or does it somehow play out of the headset jack? Silly question, I know, but meso

Apparently the new Ipod classics have a new type of RCA cable that plugs into the ipod jack. The old ipods used to plug in thru the headset jack. I found this out when I bought an old Ipod RCA cable and tried to use it.

so long story short you would need the new style cable that plugs into the Ipod interface.

Ok, thanks, ok last part of my thread hijack... the G37S comes with the ipod interface cable if you get the premium package, but it doesn't come with any other generic cables for the rca jacks in the center console correct?

Thanks in advance!

that auction may say it works with the classic, but i don't think it will.


EDIT: look at his feedback. someone with an ipod touch said it didn't work.
