I got my Sony radio installed and sounding good, I have been keeping my iPod classic in the tray and it was working until today the radio is not reading the iPod and has a message not supported. Has anyone had this issue and what can I do to fix it

 

what sony radio do you have? when you turn the bike off, do you take the ipod out or leave it hooked up?

 

The Sony DSX-S310BTX, I left it connected will that cause a problem, I was hoping I would be able to leave it in there but if not that is cool

 

I have the same one. they do say that you shouldnt leave anything plugged in when the bike is turned off (ipod or thumb drive). i made a habit of taking mine out at the end of each ride, but it is pretty convenient and tempting to leave it in the tray.

 

I have the sony tray marine version had various ipod trouble I started disconnecting the ipod like the directions said. I have a Alpine on my truck it works and controls the ipod much better and you can leave it plugged in.

 

after u started disconnecting did the problems stop

 

Have you tried unplugging it & plugging it back in?

 

I also have the sony marine unit I leave it plugged in all the time every now and then the song wont play but still shows it there I just skip till next song starts also when starting bike my playlist goes off but only one in 10 times of starting the bike

 

I had a problem with mine, it would read the ipod but nothing played. I reset the Ipod and it started working fine again. So now I remove the Ipod and turn off my HID when starting the bike.

 

Yes one of my main complaints is. it will not play in shuffle mode it always wanted to start at "A" or in alphabetical order and I can not get the head unit to go to shuffle mode. After repeated attempts of turning of/on and unplugging ipod I got it in shuffle mode then on last ride when I stop I unplugged ipod and things stayed in shuffle mode. I read that at start up is when things get messed up I guess thats why it warns that some thing is plugged in before it shuts down.
