ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 7m 12d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 28/02/09 01:23 AM Share Posted 28/02/09 01:23 AM I just went out a bought a iPod Nano 8gb 4th gen and it says not compatible on my ICC I am not sure if it is because there was nothing on it, but I thought this model was compatible.I asked Ford to flash the ipod firmware on the BEM before I picked up the car, so it should have the "fix".Is ther any trick to getting these things working ?I am just abouts to load some songs on it, but I had the same problem with my iPod photo, it would play songs in fast forward.

I had a brand new G6E for overnight testing a week ago and had the ipod goin the whole time. It integrated so bloody well I left it in the car and it was shipped before I realised Edited 01/03/09 10:52 AM by bunna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download from http://www.freerip.com/ Another download source: http://www.download.com/FreeRip/3000-2140_4-10050140.html I have not used this particular tool . . . yet.I've got a bit of my music on a CD in MP3 format. That seems to work very well and it's quite easy to burn MP3's onto a CD using XP. Why bother with an IPOD? Is it better quality than a CD? There's always a chance that an expensive IPOD will go walkies from the console when it's not meant to. Who cares if a CD develops legs?PAH Edited 03/03/09 09:59 AM by PAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't get scratched tracks like discs.Try storing 100 cds in a car.The list goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
