Your Ipod will work without buying additional equipment. The unit was designed to interface with Apple products.

Contact Kenwood and they will tell you the exact name of the additional cords you need to play music and watch videos off of YOUTUBE.

My experience was that I did just that....plugged in my ipod cord and played the music, no extra app required. However, two things happened: a) the ipod's battery was depleted (for some reason, I expected one of the two-pronged cords would provide a charge) and b) the system's preset buttons became unresponsive to the touch. I unplugged the ipod and reset the preset buttons and I've had no problems at all since then (several months ago) - however, I haven't bothered to use the ipod since then. It may have had nothing at all to do with b).....

I would say contact customer service but the line is perpetually down. Is the music in the correct format? Is the device showing up in "My Computer" (assuming you use Windows)? Which program are you using to sync files, if any?I would really advise you to ship it back to Amazon and get a refund because this thing is a piece of junk.

Because later model iPods/iPhones and iOS versions have shown compatibility problems. I connect mine via aux input to airport streaming audio from iTunes/computer. If you want to play audio directly from dock, you may have problems

You need a speaker with a traditional iPod dock. That's the only way the cool stream interacts with the speakers

Actually, that is why I returned it an got one with a CD player. At first, I thought that I could just place my CD's into Itunes, and then put them onto an SD card and it would work the same. However, they needed to be transferred from the new mp4 format to mp3. When that was all said and done, it didnt even work. So, I do not know honestly, as I was so frustrated by reading that they wanted me to buy all of their SD cards and I wasnt having any luck. I would recommend just returning it and getting one with a CD player, or if you have an ipod or iphone-burn your CD's into Itunes and then sync them to your device so that you can play them from that.

Nope. Found that out AFTER I bought the player. :( I put my ipod on it and it says on the screen "This device is not supported by the current something or other...." something like that.

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

I have the same problem and unfortunately have not been able to play music from it either. Maybe we can get an answer from the makers on what we might be doing incorrect.

To play music you need to purchase Audio Supported adapter!(it looks the same as this one but has a Audio jack on the side)

I'm Not Even Sure If U Can...I've Only Been Using It For My Music App, I've Never Tried Anything Else...Sorry Wish I Was More Help

Using the "Aux In" RCA jacks in the back of the unit, you can hook up a cd player/changer OR an iPad (using a special cable)...there is a USB port in the back of the unit as well; however the manual states "play music from USB flash drive...". I have not tried to plug in my iPod and play through the unit, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hope that helps.

It has an Ipod choice. I think it might be in the set up. I haven't been able to figure that part out though.

Hi! I have an android phone. I literally just opened up my music and Pandora app and it played. I just plugged the cord into the headphone spot!

isn't the new ipod nano tiny?... I wish I could help you out but I don't know what you're doing wrong. I do know that the monster icarplay wireless device isn't the most reliable or durable (in my personal experience). I hope that you can get it to work, sorry that I couldn't be of more help to you.

Try downloading the associated HDRadio app from the App Store, and see whether the software can be used with your iPod..

Ya you just need an aux cord for it. There is a USB port for it but it didn't charge mine could be different for yours depending on your iPod generation.

Is the threre an aux port to plug in an iPod or is the only I can play it is if i get the adaptor?
