Can't sync via USB car
I had a friend give me an A1059 29GB ipod classic (I think it's 4th generation). Came with a large charger and firewire cable. When I try to connect it via the usb port in my car, no music or charging occurs. Is there a specific 30PIN connector I need to make it work? I've tried two others to no avail.
Is dit een goede vraag?

Not what I asked really. Want to know if there is a difference among iPod 30 pin cables that would prevent playing through the car via USB. I have some cables but they don't work with this one which came with a firewire one that obviously doesn't help

Hi @krbmedia ,
Are the other 30 pin cables Apple or perhaps Samsung?
Apple 30 pin to USB should work. Other brands may be different wiring configuration
Have you tried the Ipod connected to a firewire port in a computer to prove that the Ipod can connect?

Yes I tried a different Apple USB cord and it will connect to the computer for iTunes syncing with both, bit not charge or play through the car.

Hi @krbmedia ,
Have you got another USB device that you can connect to the car that proves that the car's USB connection is OK?

Yes it works with my old iPod nano but this one, no. I'm sure it's something to do with the cable, since it came with a firewire one and a huge brick to charge it, but not sure if there is an equivalent USB one that charges and syncs.
