I have an ipod cord with power connected to the back of the player, for some reason it will charge my ipod but i cant figure out how to get to the "auxilary" option to actually play my ipod, anyone have any tips?

Not sure but I am guessing this means to plug your iPod into your computer and connect it to iTunes.

Try eBay: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/alpine-ipod-cable
or Amazon for specific cables

• Connect your IPOD Touch to iTunes
• Press or Hold the power and home keys 10 seconds.
  
• Screen goes black, now release the power button
• Make sure you do not release the Home key until your iTunes says "We have detected an itouch in recovery mode."
• After this its simple all you got to do is a simple restore using your iTunes

Connect it to your computer via the USB cord. You can also get adapters which will allow you to charge it using a wall socket (AC power). The adapter plugs into the wall, and then you plug the Nano's USB cord into the adapter.

There is a possibility its just the cord try to buy new usb cord and then power off the unit and then power on it again then connect the new cord.

does the ipod power up when you connect it to the charger and does it turn off and wont turn on when you unplug it?

First off....DO NOT connect to a USB Hub. DO connect directly to your computer.

Second off...I had exact same problems as listed above so I looked in the manual and it says:

Slide HOLD button to orange and then back to white. Then HOLD the MENU and CENTER button at same time until Apple logo appears.

Worked for me.

hi,put the yellow wire of the ipod adapter to the yellow power cable and the black to an car body earth,then plug in the black cable,hey presto!!
