Has anyone had issues with their ipod displaying the wrong song, etc.

I cant tell if my 5th Generation Nano is just giving out, but recently problems that maybe occured rarely are now becoming more common and Im curious to see if anyone else has had simial rissues:

- playing song A but the display on the headunit is Song B

- starting the car up it reads that the device is not connected, and it still doesnt recognize it after 5 minutes or so

- Switching from Song A to another song (and you have it on random) but all it does is switch to the same song

Dont have another ipod to check it with but wondering if people are having or had similar issues. Thanks.

Yes. I had it happen on my MY 2010. Just happened this once and I haven't had it happen again. It was just a weird anomaly...

Try using playlists instead. The couple of times it has happened to me was when it had to load all of my songs at once.

My ipod works fine but every time I make a call or switch to satellite radio my nano will get recognized but won't play with any volume. I have to unplug it from the glovebox.

This happens to me on occasion. It's as if the playlist gets out of sync somehow...very strange.

Theme seems to be that these things are unpredictable because I never have an issue with phone calls and my ipod...

You got any suggestions? Dont feel like buying an ipod touch just to sit in my glove compartment. Dont feel like buying an Ipod classic from 2 years ago that will be (if it hasnt already become) outdated within months...

Reset your ipod! (its either hold down menu + center button, or hold down play + center button to reset)

If that doesn't work, hook up your ipod to the computer and do a restore.

These fix the problem for me during the odd times it crops up on my nano.

Matt,
No issues like this but your welcome to come check mine out or use one of my Ipods to see how it works on yours.

I've had my iphone4 do this in my '11. It also gives me the error that the device won't charge, but it does.
