Default Sony 5000 and IPod Functionality
Does anyone have any guidance regarding the functionality of the music library & playlists on an IPod and how that functionality can interface with the Sony HU.
I totally get that the hand controls won't work for anything much more than volume and next song etc, but can u get full functionality of that iPod library via the HU display if u have it plugged into a usb?

Thanks,
T

Still contemplating. Just got back from the Hill Country and the entire time was Nav & IPod running in parallel / simultaneously. If I can guarantee that shix works together I may go w the BT unit for the extra engineering on waterproofing.

This shix never ends!!!

I watched/ assisted a buddy do an install this weekend. I will say, there are several reasons to go that route. I like the quick boot up and bt connection. The sound quality is way better and easier to tune. And of course run/accy no difference.

Besides boot speed which to me is a non factor as in what’s a couple more seconds is SQ way better without a DSP or with?

It's a bit of a concern for me as well. Several thousand songs sorted, organized, playlisted, and scrubbed via a program for clips and dbs on the iPod thus it's not only important that this music source works but also that it will work in parallel with the Nav.

Will keep u posted.

This install still used a DSR1. It was a 6 speaker setup. Getting a flat, good starting point was literally seconds on the HU. While there, another bike showed up that was a 4 speaker setup, no dsp. Sounded good and easy to tune

Update: iPods are apparently not compatible with the Sony 5K.

Now the question becomes can u use the Nav via car play / phone while simultaneously using a stick on the other USB for music.
