TDM-IP1 used with Ipod Classic: Is there any cable or something that can make it work?

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...

Who knows. Compatibility with this is shady at best. I still have never been able to get my iPod Classic to work!The extension might be a problem, because the unit closes, encasing the iPod.Try and return, that is my advise.

This unit uses an Apple 10 pin connector and as such the iPod Classic should work with no problem at all. The best way to add radio is via an iPod or iPhone with the iHeart radio application.

The Audi/VW/most factory iPod systems try to index the device, which is why it won't work. Can't index all music on device over Bluetooth connection

I have the 160GB iPod Classic. The cable arrived today and, unfortunately, does not work.

You can use the cord that came with your iPod Classic and connect the cord to the iPad outlet that's located on top of the unit.

Hi Vivian, Yes it is most definitely complatible with the iPod Classic! I only have the iPod 160GB Classic, in fact I have 3 of them, love my music!! HaHa Have a Monster iCarPlay Wireless in each car, that way I never get caught out. Enjoy.

No because it has the SONY connection, not the IPOD connection. It's a proprietary connection

I cannot speak about the isimple interface compatibility. I used this product to extend a usb data/charge connection to a Pioneer stereo so that I could install this inside the center console. It has worked well for charging and playing music from an ipod through the stereo's controls.

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.

I know this is a late response, but here goes. I too wanted to find an alternative to connecting my iPod from the front of the AVH-P3300BT, but no dice. I contacted the Pioneer Electronics and asked whether the CD-I200 was compatible with the radio. And I was told, "No." So, then I sent another email asking if Pioneer made a product that would connect to the back of the AVH-P3300BT via the IP Bus connection on the back of the radio. The return response was from a person named Gill from Customer Service. He said, "Unfortunately, an i-Pod interface which connects to the back of this unit is not available. All i-Pod operations must be performed using the connections on the front of the radio." So, I am sorry to say the ability to connect the iPod from the back of the radio is not currently available. :-(

Buy the composite av cable, it has the dock connector, for less than $4.00, you'll be glad you did, it works with later model ipods, and works great.

Chris, it's compatible with the old classic iPod, but you can try using just the old cable connection on the iPod with a USB connection on the other end. I found out just the charger cable with USB connection allows the music to work perfect on an Onkyo, (compatible ) receiver. Chris, if the new classic 160gb has a lightning connection on it, just try the new connection cable from iPod to USB port and see what happen, FIRST. Then, go from there. Hope things work out.

Use the white sync cable that came with iPod plus a wall plug to USB adapter

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
