Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD problem with iPod video makes me cry :(

[GenFranco]

Greetings!

I have a Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD that I just got installed professionally on my honda element. Everything seems to work except for the ipod video. I bought a special cable from the installer for 40 bucks, it has an ipod connector on one end, on the other it has a usb and av jack. So I plug in all the connections and the music works fine.

- On video I can only hear the movies in my ipod, but not see anything.

- I have my ipod set to external video ON and NTSC. The Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD ipod video settings are set to EXT-Video.

- Wierd, if I switch to AUX, the video stops but I can see a pretty still of the movie

- If I unplug the USB while on AUX, the video works! put now I no longer am charging my Ipod or have control.

Very strange no? If anyone can please please please help me, Ill be your BFF for evah and evah and evah.

Many Thanks,

Franko

• soft and hard resets did not help!
   
  
• i heard from an installer that the problem might just be with the latest generation of ipods.. really?

Ok I figured this out thanks to Pana customer support.

First you have to find a farily hidden menu called Initial menu

(Source Select menu, select OFF, then A/V Menu...)

Then you find the settings for AUX1 Video - Select IPOD

After that you can ESC and try it out. Everything should work perfect. I hope this helps someone else out there as I would have never figured this out.
