#194 of 202 ipod and sony ericsson support in 2009 EX+Nav by shalevy Mar 19, 2009 (12:25 pm)
Hi All,   I was wondering if anyone tried the Apple ipod nano 4th generation and is it supported and does it charge through the USB port in the 2009 Civic EX+navigation?   Also, I have a Sony Ericsson phone W595 and when I plug it into the USB port, it charges but the audio/navigation system says that it's not supported, any idea? The phone does connect through bluetooth for phone-calls.   What other solutions are there to connect those devices into the already existing audio/navigation system? I would prefer solutions that will not require me to use the ipod/phone to play music.   Thanks.

Replying to: shalevy (Mar 19, 2009 12:25 pm) shalevy,   The USB iPod feature does support your iPod. Just plug in your iPod using the the USB cable and enjoy the music. You can use USB thumb drives. Those work great. You can get a 4 GB model for real cheap. The USB port fully integrates the iPod so it works just like an iPod. Hope this helps.; Replies to this message: shalevy (Mar 23, 2009 9:35 am) rv65 (Mar 23, 2009 2:37 pm)

Replying to: rv65 (Mar 22, 2009 10:11 pm) Thanks for the reply.   I was wondering specifically about the 4th generation ipod nano. The reason is that it is not listed as one of the supported ipods (only 1st, 2nd, 3rd and listed). I tried the new ipod shuffle and it doesn't work - says unsupported. And my phone doesn't work as well. Which means that not all USB thumbs, or ipods works.   So if anyone has an ipod nano 4th generation and can test it on the USB interface of the 2009 EX+navigation and can confirm that it charge and plays, please reply.   Thanks again.

Replying to: shalevy (Mar 23, 2009 9:35 am) All I can say is that it should work just fine. Honda and their supplier made sure it works just fine. All the other USB ports work with the 4th gen nano. Shuffles aren't compatible with the system. Only 5th gen and up iPods. All nanos should work just fine. It should charge and play since it uses USB. Also make sure your nano's firmware is up to date. That might help.

Replying to: civictory (Oct 06, 2008 5:37 am) Thought I'd bump this.   Having the same issue myself with my new 2009 Civic. Very poor AM reception (FM is fine), particularly once I get out of the urban area I work in and out into the rural area where I live. Unlistenable. The AM is fine in my 2001 Civic.   The receptions get even worse if I turn on my side mirror defrosters. I haven't tried the recepetion with the engine off yet, which some people have suggested I try.   I do have a rear tint, but it is a non-metallic tint according to the dealer.   Very frustrating, as they are working with Honda Canada to resolve it, but HC doesn't seem to think there is a problem.   I've seem a suggested solution that it is caused by a poor grounding of the antenna cable, either at the point of contact with the antenna or along one of the 4(?) sections of antenna wire which are individually grounded.   Anyone successful in getting this resolved?   Cheers, Corey Replies to this message: civictory (Nov 30, 2009 6:41 am)

Replying to: biffbannik (Nov 25, 2009 12:02 pm) Corey,   I never did resolve my reception problem. My local Honda dealer is dumbfounded and/or in denial (depending on who you talk to). Like you, I've been told my tint is non-metallic.   I haven't pushed the issue at all with Honda. It seems like more trouble than it's really worth to me. My wife drives our Civic, and she generally doesn't listen to AM stations.   If you ever find a solution to this problem, please post it. I'll do the same.   Thanks!

Replying to: farch (Nov 30, 2009 7:53 pm) does anyone know how i can get to the the area where the car's antenna connector is?   These are Honda instructions for installing the XM Radio kit. It contains more info than you need but it should give you the directions to get to the antenna connector.   http://www.collegehillshonda.com/instructions/8th_gen_civ_sedan/xmradio.pdf Replies to this message: farch (Dec 04, 2009 3:27 pm)
