Ipod Touch Won't Play

[rickfen]

I used the Ipod cable from my 2010 genny. The 2015 (tech) is recognizing that I've attached a device, but then nothing, just says a device has been attached.
(or am I not waiting long enough for it to take in the content) although my previous genny would start playing almost immediately.

Cable worked fine 2 days ago before I traded the old car in.

Any ideas?

thanks

me again,

I figured it out. The ipod plays with a regular apple usb cord, doesn't need the extra input to aux (as with the old cord)

Silly? question: My ipod went to Apple Heaven so I can't check, but many iPods have bluetooth like iPhones, in which case you can turn bluetooth on and I *believe* it will treat your iPod as a form of media and require no cable (except for charging) and you can then use the car's media buttons to play its contents. Have you tried this?

Yes, mine is blue tooth, but my wife's phone is bluetoothed to the car for the music she prefers. In that only one device can be paired at a time, it's easier to keep my music on the ipod and hard wire it.
But thanks for the suggestion
