iPhone / iPod connection
« on: December 29, 2016, 07:15:32 pm »
So I have this under the armrest.



I also have RNS510.

I don't have an iPod but I do have an iPhone 7. So I bought one of these....



Plugged the cable in, then into the phone... nothing.

Pressed Aux on the RNS still nothing..

What am I doing wrong?

Probably the dock is too old to recognise the new Apple interface on the RNS510. Most likely you need a MDI dock and cable to get the iPhone working as intended like the one shown below.

Like PatchySan said, you need a MDI module with a lightning connector. That Ipod connector is too old and not compatible with RNS-510.
