JVC stereo will play files from USB, but not from iPod/iPhone

Col200sx

My JVC KD-BT1 car stereo will play music files (mp3/mpeg4) no problem when I hook it up, but it won't play music from my iPod or iPhone.

It keeps saying: "File check"

But it never finds it.

This is the stereo in question: http://support.jvc.com/consumer/product.jsp?modelId=MODL027884&pathId=54&page=2&archive=true

Anybody have any idea why?

Thanks

Ipods dont have MP3 or MP4 the use their own format AAC.

It wont work unless the stereo is specifically designed to handle Ipod.

Try using the AUX in port.

the standard iPod cable will not work, you need one of these http://support.jvc.com/consumer/product.jsp?modelId=MODL027758&pathId=62&page=1&archive=true

All the music that's on my iTunes is synched to my iPod, and they're the same as are on my USB too, and they play fine?????

There's no aux port on it

Ah right, didn't realise I needed an adaptor. Thanks

The music structure on an iPod / iPhone is completely different to just have a folder full of music on a USB stick. Generally, there are folders within folders with more folders and most standard head units won't delve that deep.
