Question posted by rmafcav16 on June 12th, 2012

The Unit Recoginizes My Ipod-nano And Lists The Songs But Will Not Play Music.

I have done all troubleshooting hints from the manual with no result. The radio does work, and I am also getting  a "F" showing in the upper left of the screen with a large T followed by a number. Could it be the cord, thats the only thing I havent done. Is there a list of error codes listed somewhere?
