Why won't my Nano play through my car radio when connected with the iPod cord

My Nano was working fine. It plays through the ear buds or internal speaker. When connected to my car audio, it shows song and album titles but no sound. I connected my wifes Nano and it works fine through my car audio system. I swapped the cord but still no luck. Any suggestions?

I have a 5th Gen. I read in another discussion that someone held the menu AND the center big button down for 6 seconds and the apple logo appears. Basically a type of reset. Well I tried it as a last resort and it worked for me. I thought My JVC was messed up, or the Cord. I plugged it in my friends truck (pioneer) and same problem. That eliminated the head unit. My headphones still worked and so did audio through the headphone 3.5mm jack to the JVC 3.5mm input. I also had all the info displayed and full controls on screen of the radio, but no sound. Like I said I am no expert but I am sharing what worked for myself and I hope it helps to anyone else who may come across this.
