I have 2 Apple ipods one older model A1137 and a newer one model A1285

The A1285 will work on my 2011 Chevrolet Cruz, but the A1337 will not.???

The radio just won't show that the older ipod is connected.

What can I do to get the A1137 to work on my Cruz?lease:

Thanks Sam

Is it a dock itsits into ? Do you have 3.5mm aux jack. Some gens are not recognized by the car software, pin config etc. It could also be the cord you are connecting with, some are charge only. Is the ipod software up to date ? Is there a new firmware for the radio ? I had a similar problem in my gti and had to get the radio flashed. Sorry so many questions..

First take the the ipod, go to the REAR of the truck right above the bumper.

Theres an area that is most likely hard metal on your year of truck, this area is above the license plate and typically referred to as the top of the bumper. Get a hammer, set the ipod down and whack it 36 times with said hammer...

If theres no such area on your truck, feel free to use the ground as long as it is acement type surface

Thend drive to Best Buy and get an MP3 player that does NOT contain the apple branding, aaand that should be it.

Good luck, I hate apple can you tell? Threadjack over

Both ipods work with the same cord, It must be some thing with the program in each ipod.

Do you think I can update the old ipod with the same program that is in the new one?

thanks sam

you should be able to update the software. Then again its apple product and they do like to make things more complicated then it should be.

Well I got it to work on the car radio.

I up dated the ipod.

Now I have to see how I can find the albums then play what is on each album instead of a shuffle of all the songs that is in the ipod.
thanks Sam

time to upgrade ur 8 track cassette..... at $633 a share id say Apple products are doing better then any other product out there and its an AMERICAN made product! in fact, I have had my ORIGINAL Ipod for almost 10 years now and it works in every vehicle I have ever tried it in flawlessly.

Uh Brett did you say American Made?

 

[GNBRETT]

lol nothing is made completely in america. foxcomm makes most ipods but its an american owned company. how many other MP3 players are american owned that r worth buying?

 

[gurrera]

It is marked right on the back

(designed by Apple in California assembled in China.)

You check out Wall-mart and you will see that 90% of what they sell is made in Chine.

All mot every thing is now made in China.

Just assimilate and you will be part of the collective

I tried forever to stay away from the Apple stuff and I just got to the point where I needed my portables to do what I needed them to do perfectly well. Having a crackberry for so many years I decided I'd just get an ipod touch to listen to music and watch movies on the plane (cuz it was all I could afford ). I liked it, dang thing worked perfectly at being a media device where my crackberry worked perfectly at being a phone/email tool. Now 2 ipad2, 3 ipods and one iphone later, its pretty nice to have it all centralized. Everything in itunes, ability to share apps across devices, etc is just nice. We are actually going to put an apple tv into the house and be able to stream any of our movies to any of the connected devices
