How to get ipod to work with sync?

[benjamin24]

How do I get my ipod to work with my 09 sync/nav? I plug it in with the plug and usb and it doesn't work. My gmc I just had to plug it in and it worked.

plug it in, hit media, then change the device until you come across the usb and then it will take a few seconds to catalog the songs. from there you can play your play lists, artist , album, etc

No such luck, when i hit media, it takes me to cd, jukebox, and then user devices (which is where the ipod should show up) but no luck on reading the ipod. do u use the usb or plug?

i use the usb or the bluetooth (usb gives you more control) on an ipod touch. if its an older ipod (white classic hard drive based), make sure its turned on. maybe try updating the ipod if you haven't tried that yet

usb still not working, its an aftermarket usb wire. little plug route is working but think wire has a short. will have to make a run to best buy or something and get new wires. it's a nano newer version i guess but been in a bag since buying this truck. thanks for the help.

Newb here, same problem with my sansa fuze, sinc recognizes usb, but says there is no media to play. Device is new & full. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm also having this problem except mine was working then it just quit and now doesn't recognize anything being plugged in. I was originally using the second USB port but neither is working. I've tried new cables and everything....nothing. My truck is a 2010 and only 2 weeks old but it worked fine for the first week and a half and worked great on my 08 and 09's. I hate to take it to the dealer just for this but it's killing me without it.

Yeah...have'nt figured mine out yet. I put my music on a flash drive. That is working, just bugs the hell out of me that the mp3 wont work. I know just enough about electronics-computers to get me into trouble. I'll have em look at it next time Im at the dealer.
