ipod Shuffle

Has anyone connected the ipod shuffle to the AUX connector in the back of the 2012 RT?

Or do I need to take this back and get a nano and a lightning to 30 pin adapter?

If you have the right cable, just plug it in the earphone jack and it should work (display will say AUX). All you can control is the volume but it is nice to have the tunes, for sure.

I have used both my iPhone and my iPad ... they work great with the spyder

Like CaptBlack says, you can use it and listen to it, but the only thing you can control is the volume. Mine is several years old, so I was wanting an Ipod Nano anyway, and picked one up the other day. I haven't had time to load music on it and get it into my Spyder. I want the ability to select or skip tunes when I'm riding.

Yeppers! I use mine anytime I'm out of range of the radio stations that I like. No different than playing the radio (maybe a little clearer), Can't control which song will play next, but I LIKE all the ones I have on my Shuffle. Have it Velcroed to the side of the Rear Trunk jist above the Plug in. Bandit :doorag:

That's kinda what I was gathering and I'm going to return the shuffle and get a nano and the lightning to 30 pin cable.

Thanks for all the replies.

FYI if you have a new generation iProduct with the lightning adapter (30 pin to lightning), it will work... at least with the iPhone 5. I connected it yesterday and it will even go to Pandora and the SiriusXM apps (provided that you have a good data plan ).

I have an iphone 4s, I guess I could just plug that into the 30 pin cord and see what that does.

The iphone 4 is better than the Nano for the spyder because you can set up playlists, control songs, playlists and volume.

I just plugged my 4s in and figured out how to navigate to it and it is cool now.

Thanks
