Unknown IPOD Interface - Help
On my recently purchased 2009 A6, Auto, NAV, HUD, NPP...I have an IPOD cable in my glove box with a cable towards the radio. Today, I connected an IPOD to try to figure out the interface. The IPOD display showed the Corvette icon but I saw nothing on the NAV screen to show the IPOD connection. Obviously, I'd like the Corvette radio to allow the IPOD to play through the sound system and better yet to be able to control the IPOD with the steering wheel controls or NAV screen. Any ideas?

Sounds like you have a bad ipod cable connected to PAL device.
You need to contact Ray Kawai (sp last name)....he the forum guru on PAL devices.
I had something VERY similar happen to mine (I have the quick connect set-up which is the latest version) and the ipod cable was bad somehow. Ray says those cables are finicky and delicate.
Add: above statement is true. But if the ipod cable is bad even if you select XM2, the ipod still will NOT show-up.

UPDATE: Unknown IPOD interface
Connected a new IPOD to the connector. Pressing the XM1/2 buttons seems to turn the XM channel to 0 and the IPOD begins playing..but the radio seems to also play normal XM stations so I have two input sources playing on top of one another. The display on the NAV system shows XM 0 but I can hear other XM stations and when I change the XM channel to another channel, can still hear faintly the IPOD. I'm still a bit confused...
Can anyone tell me what interface is in use based on these symptoms? So I can research and solve.
