However, I plugged in my Nano, and it worked. Both iPods are up to date with the most current versions. CD 6 Tr 02 (text display did not work, only reads "*dice*". Steering wheel controls work on CD 1 - 5 to switch songs, etc, but still not text display with CD 6, Tr 02.

I tried pulling fuses and resetting the iPod. Now there is nothing. My head unit doesnt even pick up CD mode. all the happens when I switch from Radio is it reads "no tape".

Did I fry the unit or something?
Also, do youthinkthe problem with recognition of my video iPod is with the iPod itself, since it worked with my nano? And how do I get text display to work?

Thank you.
Tom
Could be a little bit of the DICE not initializing properly along with the iPod. Let's perform the following steps:

1. Disconnect iPod from cable
2. Remove battery cables, negative first
3. Touch battery cable terminals together (away from battery) for +5 seconds, a small spark is normal as this is stored power draining from the system.
4. Allow cables to remain disconnected for about 5-7 minutes
5. Reconnect battery cables onto battery, negative last.
6. Reboot iPod by pressing on MENU and CENTER buttons for +5 seconds and then reconnecting to the DICE cable after the reboot process is completed.

Let me know if these steps correct the problem.
