IPOD problems with new malibu


DragonBottom

Recommended Posts

Just bought a 2011 malibu v ride and tried to play music through with IPOD.

Tried using both the cord that came with the boat and the IPOD USB cord.

The boat is equipped with the factory rockford stereo / display.

Does anyone know how to make the IPOD play through the system?

Are you using the cord that has the round connection to the boat? That one works for me. When I attach it with the cord that goes from the IPOD to the USB it didn't work well. I have a VTX. I'm not sure if the connections are the same....I had Sound Pack 1 option. The rockford display is able to control my IPOD

My VTX came with the factory sound pack and had a faulty USB connection. The iPod one worked just fine, but the USB did not. After multiple attempts to get this addressed, they finally replaced the connector and line and now it works just fine. We didn't have many tunes last year as I don't have an iPod and was counting on using a flash drive or my Sansa mp3 player. My wife has an iPod, but it lives in her car and our taste in music is not exactly the same. I like Elton John and Billy Joel, but can only take so much.

It could be that your iPod connection is faulty.

I have tried using the round connection to the boat and i am not having luck.

Ill play around with it some more and if i cant get it to work ill have the dealership look at it.

Where can I get the cord with the larger round connection to IPod/Iphone?

I would think a Malibu Dealer would be able to get them for you. I looked at the Bake's website but didn't see them.

We had what may be the same issue with our new VTX - turned out the pins were bent in the socket. Used a key to straighten them and all is good now :)
