Just got a 2009 Cooper Cabrio with Radio Boost CD and USB & Aux-in jack ports under the toggle switches, and have tried to connect either one of 2 ipods with very little success. Can any one offer any advice please, do I need to get some kind of special cable to control the devices from the head unit rather than the ipod and charge at the same time?
Ipod 1 is a 2nd gen nano (wheel version) which appears to charge but only plays tracks in some kind of random order and doesn't allow me to select albums etc.
Ipod 2 is a 6th gen nano (touchscreen version) which appears not to be recognised at all, either to play music or charge the device.
Real-life comment from anyone with either of these models working with my kind of stereo greatly appreciated!
(And yes I know I can connect them up just using the Aux-in to headphone socket connection but would really like to get proper control on the dash.)
