floridian Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have a Honda Civic EX 2009 which comes with a USB cable. I use it to play my Ipod Nano (4th Gen). When I use the ipod nano in the car, it freezes up often (i.e. hangs up). I have to then disconnect and reset the ipod nano because it wont come back on any other way. I am getting tired of doing this. Also, the ipod does not show a "honda logo" which the owners manual says it would. The ipod nano seems to work fine when not being used in the car (i.e. headphones or computer). Has anyone experienced this problem? Should I replace the ipod or should I get my car checked out? The owner's manual says the honda civic '09 supports ipod nano gen 1-3. Is that the problem? You would think that 4th gen would work fine. Is there any special way I should be placing the ipod inside the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiLLz miL Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 It's more than likely a software issue. The iPod may have a patch somewhere online to update the generation difference. The iPod may be fine and the OEM Honda Head Unit may not be 100% compatible with the newer technology. Remember that the vehicles were probably out of production when the newer iPods were going INTO production. Some technological advances aren't going to be compatible if the vehicle was produced before the accessories. Good luck. I'd probably go to your nearest Honda Dealership and check with the HEAD SERVICE WRITER. I just talked to my service writer and he said there's a good chance it's a software patch.
