    Hi everyone

    I recently purchased and installed a Clarion DXZ585USB. It supports almost all ipods including ipod video (5g)/ipod nano/ipod touch 1g and ipod touch 2g directly by connecting to to the front usb and using the generic ipod wire.

    I have all the above mentioned ipods and neither of them work. I receive an "Error 2". The manual states that this is caused by improperly encoded mp3s/wmas/aacs and such but this cannot be the case with all the ipods. Just to be safe I've tried two different wires and it gives me the same error.

    Here is clarions pdf regarding compatibility:

    Odd thing is that the same mp3s work perfectly fine when they are put on a flash drive.

    I would appreciate if anyone can help me on this cause I cannot for the life of me get these ipods to work.

    For more information about the head unit check out the link. Take a look at the info at crutchfield which states the compatibility (Click on Hands on Research and then More info)
