    Hi guys,

    My Alterra is iPod ready.

    However I can not figure out how to make it show the video in the screen.

    I did the following steps (based on the user manual)

    1. I connected my iPod to the iPod cable (in the compartment)
    2. I pressed the iPod video playback icon.
    3. I selected the video to play in my iPod

    The video is playing in the iPod itself. The audio is playing in the car speaker as well. But the screen just shows

    "WAITING FOR VIDEO"

    Tried to wait for like 30 mins or so and nothing happens. It just shows "WAITING FOR VIDEO" all the time.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Thanks in advance

    Is your iPOD Video the newer generation? I believe the it's only the "older" generation iPOD Videos it works with.

    Hi Benzmizer,

    Yes, my iPod is new generation (just got it 2 weeks ago).

    Is there not a way to make it work?

    I bought this iPod specifically for this purpose..

    No software available (for now) to make it work. In due time I guess......

    you need original apple AV cable for that. it would work with class A cables but the IPOD/iPhone should also be in old os version.

    with new OS versions, you need new ORIGINAL cable for that.

    Originally, I was planning to buy an Ipod just for my Urban Cruiser, but I could not decide which "size" to get.

    In the meanwhile, I bought some SD cards to use instead.

    Now, I find that the SD cards work so well, I have changed my mind about getting an Ipod.

    It is a low-cost solution that I just stumbled upon.

    Ciao!
