MP3 player help

[C5driver]

I searched he forums, but couldn't find an answer...

What MP3 players are you guys using?

I tried a gen 2 or 3 iPod, but the car won't recognize it. Then I bought a cheap MP3 player and still no love.

What player will be recognized, including playlists?

Thanks!

I have the newest ipod hooked up with no issues. I also had an older model ipod nano before. probably 4 years old and that worked fine too.

I can't use my 1st generation ipod in my '13 6er either, but my ipod touch works just fine. I guess the newer generation Idrive just won't recognize the older ipod software.

I just run my music application from my iPhone 6+ and have never had an issue. Like ^ mentioned- new idrive may not recognize older devices

Thanks guys.

I streamed from bluetooth also, but the dynamic range sucks. It's like listening to music underwater.

I loaded em all on a USB drive and downloaded em to the HD. no playlists, but you can create new files for that if you are so inclined.

Sounds much better.

A new iPod shuttle kept trying to load the songs for a couple days. Then I picked up a new iPod Nano and it worked just fine, right at plug in. All the playlists are available immediately.

Problem solved.

the dynamic range is no good on bluetooth? I'm just not an audiophile so I never noticed that.

It's really not good and you don't need dog ears to notice the difference.

Not sure if it's in the car settings and thus operator error....
