I have an ORIGINAL iPod 3rd gen that doesn't like to be mounted to ANYTHING anymore.
Can I flash the firmware to update it?
Is there anything I can do to make this playable? I'd like to load up a bunch of audio books on it and just leave it plugged into my car.
Thanks

Do you use the original iPod Apple cable ?
3rd Gen ORIGINAL iPod is that a touch, a nano, a shuffle one? ☞ https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204217
I have tried the original cable and newer cables as well and with little success getting it to show up on my new iMac. When I try to connect it to the car, the cord isn't supplying power so it dies right away. (I could replace the battery, but the point was to have a MP3 player that I can leave in the car.)
This is a photo of what I have:
