Ultimate iPod adaptor and 10Min install

[LV_H2]

Congratulations on the install

I think the unit works great and sounds great too. I also agree on the scrolling, even though it is all up there on the NAV screen to see and to scroll through, the original iPod scrolling is better. (I guess that's why they sold a zillion iPods!).

I will be moving mine from glove box to center console so that I can scroll for albums on the iPod (in manual mode), then switch to auto mode a view/scroll from the Nav screen for minor scrolling between songs.

Thanks again to vlxjim for showing us the install.

Thanks,


I’m glad this is all working out. And yes play list are a must. For me I have ALT, TECH, 80’s, 90’s, 2000, Reggae, Slow And Country I’m going to become a dad in the next week or so, so it looks like I'll be adding Kid’s to the list to, I also have four play lists that I break up the artist into so its easer to search for artist.

I just received mine from logjam. The outside of the package says rev.5.03. Is this the correct rev? Is this what everyone else was shipped from logjam? One post said re 5.3 or higher, did they really mean 5.03 or higher? Just want to make sure B4 installing.

[LV_H2]

Yes. Version 5.03 is the one that I have on the unit that I just installed and it works fine.

I received ver 5.03 as well. The install was just like posted. No problems. My only problem was that I don't understand the controlls and I don't see the song titles, albums and artists.

Is my iPod the problem or did I not wait on the hand shake? I waited a minute or more to do the hand shake befor making the change to the iPod.

Sound is good and I am otherwise happy with the product. Some of the steering wheel controls work, like seek.

Let me know if I missed something on the labels.

Thanks.

Here is a link to the instruction manual for the peripheral electronics unit. It is identical to the Nucleus.

http://peripheralelectronics.com/per...structions.pdf

If you have a NAV screen, here is what you need to do:

First, the "preset station" buttons are used for functions and will be referrred to as Button #1 thru Button #6.

I assume you have figured out that button #1 toggles between ipod, XM, and aux and that you are able to select ipod/nucleus and hear the ipod music.

The next button to use is #6. It will toggle between playlist mode, album mode, artist mode, and finally a mode labelled "4 to NAV ipod". If you press the #4 preset button, you will now be in Advanced Mode and control the ipod from the NAV screen and see the title and artist.

To go back to manual mode/ipod control: hit button #6 until "5 to manual" is displayed. At that point hit preset #5 and you will manually control the music from the ipod, but lose the ability to see title and artist.

Hope this helps.

LV-H2,

Thank for helping out with the info. My Wife and I just had a baby Boy. So I have been super busy. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on your baby!

Did you get him a new "nano"?

I made some upgrades to the ipod set-up and moved the ipod to the center console. Running the adapter cable from glove box to center console was NOT easy. I used a fish tape and trial and error. Finally running a wire from center console to a "break" in the panelling along the left leg area of the passenger side, then on to the glove box. No pictures and no advice as it was more will then style getting it there!

Having said that, it now allows easy manual use of the ipod for selecting albums/playlists/etc. Then I switch to auto mode so that the songs title and artist are visible on the NAV screen.

Congrats again on the new baby!

WOW!!!! This is a great write up.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Getting tired of the on and off static those FM trancievers give out.
