Hello all!
Hope you are staying warm. I have an iPod Classic with the 30-pin connector and would like to connect with the Comand system (this is a recently-purchased used vehicle). The Media Interface Cable (i.e MMI to 30-pin short cable) does not seem to be communicating with the Comand radio. When plugged in, it is charging the iPod. However, when I select "Media Interface" under the audio settings in Comand, it says there is no device connected. I would really like to be able to charge my iPod and browse the music directly from the Comand (i.e. playlists, artists, etc).
I tried a different MMI to 30-pin from Amazon, but that ended up causing my iPod to immediately go into a loop reset...don't really want to try that again.
Would it be a broken cable, or is there something else I should check (e.g. fuse, etc)?
Thanks so much! iPod Classic connected to center console via media interface cable. Media Interface selected on COMAND No device connected
I have the iPod nano & it works fine. If its charging proudly not a fuse
If you have a USB flash drive with music on it and plug it into the USB port and select it dose the radio see it?
Thank much for the message. Yes, if it’s a smaller USB drive (<32 GB), it does see the music.
Is your iPod nano plugged into the USB port or the Media interface cable/port?
thanks much.
My GLK was not playing the ipod if 3.5 mm aux was connected. I think the interface can support only one device. I would remove everything else and try again.
Thanks for the info everyone. I just ordered a replacement cable (001-827-84-04) from a dealer, and will see if this works once it arrives. I am surprised there are still some in-stock.
I think it's a safety benefit, since it can charge an iPhone (via the 30-pin to lightning adapter) if the phone battery gets low.
What the potential problem may be is that you need a new media Interface cable. I had a similar issue in my 14 model that I had and it solved the problem.
**edit: just saw that you ordered the cable**
