I took mine in two years ago regarding the ipod connection. The told me nothing was wrong with it and sent me on my way. Wonder if they have since figured this out.

Hmm.

Will do.

I suspect the USB port is just crap. It's almost definitely related to a persistently loose/poor connection, because switching to a really snug fitting connector has minimized the problem, but a light bump on the connector, and the Nav interface will be affected, at least with a momentary loss of sound.

My guess is the only "fix" is to replace the whole unit and a true fix would require a different port module that isn't such a piece of crap or that takes a different kind of connector entirely.

Will the ipod interface work through the three aux jack ports? If so, I may just switch to that rather than try and have them tear my whole console apart...

I had this problem and replacing the USB port solved it :woot:

I had the same problem until I changed to an iPod with a solid state drive, I'm using the 1st Gen iPod Touch, it works great. I had a 5th Gen Video iPod with 40 Gig mechanical drive and it had the same issues on start up. Someone mentioned the boot up time of the Mechanical HDD devices was too slow, this seems to be the proven case with my 2009.

Only the classic has a hard drive, rest has no moving parts and is faster. I had the same problem as the op once in a a while, changed my USB plug with a Griffen I had lying around and works perfectly. But 160gb is a pain to search through. Been using bluetooth audio instead. Google Music let's u upload 20k songs for free! Helps to have unlimited data though.

if it helps anyone whenever i used a older iphone (3GS) it would pretty much only work when in airplane mode. whenever i bought my 4S when it released i never had 1 problem so far and its been idk like 2 years? now since i got that one.
