iPod to car stereo

[Glenn Ponder]

Just wondering if anybody can help me out.
I've been trying to play my iPod nano through my car stereo (Citroen C4) with the USB cable but it's only playing the first album and nothing more. The stereo is recognising that the iPod's plugged in but I can't access the iPod's menu to change tracks/albums. I've had a search online and it seems that others have had this issue but I can't find a solution.
Any suggestions?

Cheers

When you say on-line searches have shown others have the same problem is that all with Citroen stereo's? Is the issue with the car stereo or the iPod do you think?

Sync more albums to the iPod.

No mention of the C4 specifically but most issues were with the DS3. The screen on the car stereo is showing an image of the iPod so it is connecting but the iPod's screen is black and states that the iPod is synced and can be disconnected.
The iPod has hundreds of albums on it and plays fine when not connected to the car.

The iPod is synced but the first album plays automatically when connected.

Hmmm - if its something that lots of Citroen users report I'd strongly suspect the car stereo is at fault - tell you what pop on Peugeot forums - they are the "same" cars yeah? See if some Peugeot owners report the same problem - if so then its the PSA group stereo software thats your issue?

Delete all the albums before the one you want to play next et voila maybe

I'll have a look, cheers.
It's strange because the album/track name appears on the stereo screen so it's definitely recognising the iPod. It's just that I can't change the album. Scrolling through the song list just takes me back to the first song.

I used to have a headphone jack to cassette tape lead back in the old low tech days for my first car, you could try finding something similar.

In my first car - a 71 Avenger - I used to blutack a small transistor radio to the dashboard ( a tranny as we knew it then ) - having said that it was never state of the art
Both the car and the tranny
