The thing is that that unit is advertised to work with the regular ipod cable provided by Apple. Plug and play. I cannot get it to play music from the ipods. I have tried a ipod touch 2g (second generation) and an ipod video (5th generation) and both of them give me "error 2." The manual says that "error 2" is for improperly encoded mp3s/wmas/aacs and such. I've tried two different ipod wires. Also it will play the same mp3s on a USB flash drive (I've tried two different ones) Any ideas?? Anyone get it to work with their ipod touch 2g?

I think my problem might lie in the wiring of the 15A and 3A yellow wires. There are two yellow wires for the clarion unit but only 1 on the harness itself. I did not connect the 3A. Do you know if I have to just tie the two together and connect them to the single yellow wire on the harness?? Could this be the cause of the issue?? |
