iPhone / Ipod Question
2013 SL550 plugged my iphone 12 into the usb port does not charge and the head unit says device not recognized so I assume playing music off my phone is limited to bluetooth unless I buy a very old ipod ?

Which generation iPod would work?

I had to use an adapter and plug it into the "cigarette lighter" adapter in the middle storage compartment. It now charges and plays music.
