Media Interface Problem

Hi all,

I believe this has been discussed, but I searched and can't seem to find anything.

When using my iPod connected to the media interface on my 2010, the NAV screen loses sync with what's actually playing. When I start the car, and go from sequential playback to random, all is fine until I stop and start again. The only way to fix is to change playback to sequential and then back to random play.

Anyone know if there's a solution for this?

Thanks,

Joe

Sounds like a warranty issue.

All I know is that as kewl as MIP is, it IS very buggy. I like what it provides and have lived with little issues like this as a compromise.

I have the MIP and love it, yes it does have a few minor issues, like losing conection after startup, or switching between media. But it's better, to have than not.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. Mine is the 2010 with the 64G Ipod Touch. It never use to do this until recently.

I use my iPhone 3GS with the Pandora App, on my 10 C63. And I have connection issues sometimes, but with a little effort, I'm able to solve them.
