Connecting iPod video to Blaupunkt car stereo

Question

Connecting iPod video to Blaupunkt car stereo

Blaupunkt sells an adapter to connect iPods to their car stereo. Part number: 7607540500. It is compatible with the factory (Blaupunkt sourced) car stereo of my Fiat Panda model year 2005. The car stereo 'sees' the iPod as a Blaupunkt CD changer. It works well with the previous iPod but absolutely no-one can tell me if will work with the current video iPod that I'd like to purchase.

I talked to Blaupunkt support in the states and they say that they are aware of the problem! Now what kind of an answer is that? I agree with you, Blaupunkt should get on this problem and fix it. Blaupunkt catalog actually states that the Ipod interface works with any Blaupunkt head unit with CDC control since 1998+. On the interface box it says 2001+. The simple fact is they should get there "stuff" together and fix it!

Hi Ian,

Can you tell me which type of Blaupunkt radio you have? I'm wondering if playlists and ID-tags are shown on its display. Some radios do, other don't, dependent on software and type. I ordered the adapter by the way.

I've got the same problem. Got the Freestyler E2 radio and the Ipod Video. Sometimes theres static noise which reduces when i touch the ipod screen. Theres also clicking noise that seem to correlate with the gas pedal of the car.

Did anyone figure out how to fix it?

Ok, I found it out, you have to setup the IPOD not to automatically get the songs from ITUNES, then it works fine with a blaupunkt radio.
