Default IPOD "No playable data found"

Well, I have about 411 songs on my Ipod, first the bike sees it, then says no playable media found,, then when I try again, it says "reading Owners Ipod" ,,,,, reading owners ipod,,,,, and keeps repeating that. Also, when that is going on, my Ipod shows a check mark and says ok to disconnect.
I have the newest flash on the radio.

Maybe try a factory reset or try a different iPod cable.

Which iPod do you have?

The first thing I would is find another source to connect and see how that works. If it does work you know its your ipod, if not then its your radio. If the other source works I would save the 411 songs to my PC, then I would completely reset my ipod, reload the songs and try it again.

That would be a good start.

Thanks, I really don't know anything about bikes but I guess I'm a decent "tech-nerd".

I'm just glad to see someone has problem with their bike that I can actually provide some input on.

IPODS are nice - but in my opinion, it is much easier to put your music on a flash drive and play it that way.

Besides all of that bouncing might damage an IPOD but has little effect on a flash drive.

Yep....my Ipod connected and always had some issue or another it seems. Saved the music to a flash drive and never had a problem playing. Some other issues, like playing lists, but as more folks own them and play around with them hopefully a work around is found for that issue.

I have not had any issues with my ipod, I use a older I pod nano, I can find a song go to play list find artist or genres.

Not to concerned about vibration, it's nestled in a foam pad.
