I have an Alpine iDA-X305S in my car that I have been running my 32gig iPod Touch for about a year now with no problems.

Today I updated the software on the iPod to the latest available and now scrolling through the artists through the head unit is very sluggish (a huge understatement) or doesn't even scroll at all.

The unit is supposedly made for iPod.

I have no idea what to do, I have tried resetting the iPod and the head unit, but nothing changes.

I would suggest checking the iPhone forum for similar issues and suggestions....

I believe the latest suggestion is to shut the ipod/iphone off, plug it into the head unit, and then restart the ipod.

Another option was to "re-pair" the device with the head unit.

I agree. If this doesnt work you should probably try downgrading to 3.1.2 (no downgrades to 3.1.3).

ok so i tried the stuff
wasnt sure what the "re pairing" was, i was guess it was having it connected to the unit and restarting etc...

none of that worked.

i then decided to try to downgrade to 3.1.2 and that doesnt work either.
i am not working with a jailbroken ipod.


how do i downgrade to 3.1.2.... i have followed directions from another thread which i couldnt get to work. when i try it says the device isnt eligible for the requested build

1. Go here: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

2. Scroll down until you see "iPhone / iPod touch / iPad"

3. Click the drop down menu and look for "iPod Touch __G 3.1.2 7D11" *

4. Download the file and save it somewhere you remember

5. Open iTunes and plug in your iPod Touch normally.

6. Go into the iPod summary page and look for the "Restore button"

7. While holding the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard, click the "Restore" button

8. A window will pop up asking to locate the .ipa (The file you downloaded)

9. Select it and open it. It will now downgrade.

10. Congrats you are now on the faster 3.1.2!

*Fill the blank with the generation number.

If you have a flat back, then it's the first generation (1G)
If you have a curved back, and MB model number, it's the second generation (2G)
If you have a curved back and MC model number, it's the third generation (3G)

All 3.1.2 firmwares will be 7D11.

Hope this helps.
