so i leave my ipod plugged in sometimes when i turn my car off and the other day i went to start my car with the ipod already connected and when i start the car it says "ipod not connected" but it was? why would it say that if i had to plugged in?

 

what model iPod do you have? what model car?

the 2010 models are having issues reading iPhones and iPod touches. theres a TSB for it.

if your car is older than 2010, I dont know what the issue is. probably an issue with the wire.

 

Mine does it all the time!

 

Battery was probably dead. Did it connect shortly after you started the car?

 

i have two ipods one is the classic which i have not had a problem with and the other ipod is my touch which i was using last night and i had the problem. so i unplugged it plugged it back it and it connected. i have been running around today using my ipod touch and everything has been fine. i have an 09 g37xs sedan. is this a problem u think?

 

this happens to me all the time. I have an 09 coupe with nav. I just keep plugging it in and out until it does find that it's connected. Usually have to do it twice.

 

ya i mean is it just a flaw by infiniti or is something wrong?

 

I don't remember what button I push on the console but it is the bottom left side of the panel with the 6 buttons and select toggle button. I think it is MISC. Anyways, I push that a couple of times and ipod function returns to normal mode.

 

I have an '09 G37x Coupe and the same thing happens with my iPod. I have a Third Generation Touch and the car's iPod cable is not "compatible" with this iPod so there is an error message that appears on the iPod saying that there is an accessory connected to it but it will not charge the iPod. I slide my finger over to get rid of the message and then push the aux button and it seems to recognize the iPod is there after that.

 

so is the ipod classic the best one to use because when i use that it charges for me ect...

 

Mine only does it when im using a friends ipod touch, or else its good with my ip4

 

ipod 1G touch charges itself and nvr have problem. My 3rd Gen Ipod and my new ipod nano, I have to charge, and have to turn it off separetly after i turn off my car. but ipod1G touch I just don't need to do anything, always charged
