I bought it for my 2008 scion tc, and it works perfectly with my iPhone 4s. I don't know what could be the problem.

Haven't used the usb yet but check the compatible formats on the receiver versus the format of the files on your ipod. I am aware that it is supposed to support usb drive activity i.e reading files but I would consult the manual or contact technical support for further information.

I'm sorry not to be able to help you. I have only an old iPod, with which the device works very well.

I would troubleshoot the device first....try using a different USB port first to make sure it's not just a faulty USB port...If it still doesn't work the device may be defective.....Also make sure your IPod is working because it might be the IPod that's defective and not the charging dock. Good luck

Sounds like a connection problem if it works some times and not others. I only have a iPod CLASSIC and have never had any problems. Maybe a visit to the Apple Store. Sorry not much help. Regards,Barry

I have a 2012 CTS and a Gen 1 iPod touch. Steering wheel controls and head unit work without any problems. Sort by artist, alphabetical songs, etc. Also randomizes via touch screen, which I assume you are referring to as Head Unit.

You should call the Dension Gateway support. The unit I got was compatible to a point. Bluetooth did not work because of a firmware issue, this is the older unit and is not getting any updates. so before you spend the money call the support folks. they do reply to email as well. adds the ipod to my systems and still allows for steering wheel controls, my car is a mercedes, 2006, R500.

I have had my iPod for many years and it works nicely with it. You need to use earphones to hear it. My ipod predates iPads.If you want the exact year let me know.

I used my iPod serial number to confirm which hard drive to buy for my 6th as there is a a thinner and a wider one depending when you originally purchased it. Mine was a bit wider as it was purchased in 2008, around the time when the 6th was initially released.

Tom Tom worked on my iPod 4 with the Dual 10/10 untill there was a Tom Tom upgrade about 3 weeks ago. GPS is working fine on my iPod 2 with Tom Tom which received the same upgrade with the same Dual unit. I contacted Tom Tom and they said to wait for the next upgrade

Any older dock will do fine with the ipod nano 16 gb. I have an ih4, which is really old, and it worked with my ipod nano 4th generation. If you upgrade to the ipod touch 2nd generation however, think about getting this model. Anyways, to make my point clear, ANY OLDER IPOD DOCK WILL WORK WITH THE IPOD NANO 4TH GENERATION. And to answer your primary question, yes, I would think that if an older ipod dock is compatible with my ipod nano 16 gb, yours would be fine with this dock. But check other sources before you get this model. I'm just guessing bassed on common sense and past experiences with ihome. Any older dock will do fine with the ipod nano 16 gb.

Just an update:I ended up ordering the MHC-EC709ip from Amazon.com and crossed my fingers that it would work with my son's 4th generation iPod touch. I had called Sony and they would only repeat what the outdated manual and box indicated (meaning, it only states the supported Apple products that were available at the time the manual and box was designed). My son's iPod touch works perfectly, as does the iPhone 4 and 4s. I would be nice if Sony would just take a little time testing and update their product compatibility list. I can't tell you how many posts I found from 1-2 years ago saying it wouldn't work with anything but a 2nd generation iPod touch and didn't work with the 4th generation.

I had same problem, IPod touch gen 4. Tried almost a month but worked only twice...most of the time it just sits there reminding me to shut off wifi. Fixed problem by sending it back to Amazon for a full quick refund and then ordering the Bad Elf 1000 unit instead. Now I have reliable GPS on my gen 4. Problem solved.

Make sure that your iPod has the latest software update via iTunes. Then this will most likely work (99% sure - never 100% sure w Apple). More important though is for you to get a better pair of earphones. Be careful - some brands are extremely bass heavy, designed mainly for rap music. Also these earphone controllers are.a little fragile. I have owned 3 or 4 of them. Only one broke. But usually I never break anything. Overall I LOVE this device and recommend it highly.

This will work perfectly. I had the same issue on my Mercedes, and my Nissan Maxima. The problem is that the ipod integration kit in the cars is designed for the older versions of ipod, and iphone. This issue rectified the issue in both my vehicles and makes it compatible with all new models of Iphone, ipod. If you have a first to third gen ipod it will no longer work, but I dont think anyone owns these anymore, and if you did, just unplug the adapter and use as normal.

Ok, so I took the time to talk to Sony (2 hours on the phone) and Apple (1 hour on the phone) about this. Sony tell me that the iPod classic has the same specifications for the connection port as the iPod 5th gen Video. So, they believe that the problem is in the iPod classic's firmware. They did say that they were going to get their engineer's to look at connecting a classic up to see why it is not working. So, the Apple story. Apple looked at this and said that the classic's video out was slightly different than the 5th gen. But, after looking at it a little more closely, and looking at some of the products that Apple sell for similar functionality (video out to TV/Receiver), they then started to feel that there may be an issue with the hardware/firmware. They also indicated that they had received reports of the classic working with similar products, and then failing to work after a recent firmware upgrade. Apple also indicated that they would contact their engineers regarding the connection to the Sony Digital Media port, and give reasons as to why it is not working, and whether there is some way to make it work. I should hear back within the next few days (given that tomorrow is friday, it may be early next week). Hopefully this matter will be resolved by a firmware update. What was really dissapointing was I plugged in my friends 5th gen, and it worked a charm. So it can work...

It's a OEM Pionner and it works very fine with my Pionner Stereo. As an alternative I try to use the Apple cable thats come with the iPod and it works fine too
