Default System doesn't recognize my iPod?

2016 Base Coupe with standard sound system.

When I plub my iPod into the USB port, it doesn't seem to be recognized . . . OR, I'm just not using the menus properly and can't find it.

Where exactly should I be able to find the iPod on the sound system once it's plugged in?

Thanks.

Hit the media button, that will scroll through your connected devices. If it doesn't show there, try a different cable, it's also possible your iPod isn't supported. There's lots of nuggets of info in the infotainment manual, it's in the manuals sticky up top of this section. There's a list of supposedly supported devices in it too.

My 2016 Z06 stopped recognizing my iPhone 6 when plugged in and it would not connect on Bluetooth. After restarting the car a few times and hitting the power button the radio to no effect, I held the "projection" button and the carplay icon returned. It took at least 30 seconds, but it seems work fine since then.

Why not just copy your music to a small USB flash drive?

I never could get my iPod to work. Well it worked once. So I copied all the music to a standard thumb drive formatted in FAT 16 and have had no trouble since.
