Ipod compatibility
I found my old ipod nano (2nd generation I think) last night and thought I'd see if it would work in the Macan as it's got some great music on it. I connected it up using the USB but unfortunately the car couldn't read the USB. Strange because the Porsche badge came up on the ipod screen (which I was quite impressed with!) I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to gadgets and wondering if anyone knows how I could get it to work or is the ipod tech too old for the car?

Yes have the same problem, interestingly it worked perfectly in my last 2015 Macan S but won’t in my 2020 Macan Turbo. Did wonder if it was something related to the USB C ports on the car. Would be grateful to hear from anyone who has a solution.
As far as I'm aware newer Macans (mine is 20-reg) lose iPod compatibility, but you do have Apple Car Play.

It doesn't really help (other than explain) but the incompatibility is also discussed here: https://www.macanforum.com/threads/trou ... -c.174389/

Looks like I'll just have to transfer the music to a usb stick.AndyC160 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:25 pm I found my old ipod nano (2nd generation I think) last night and thought I'd see if it would work in the Macan as it's got some great music on it.

After reading this thread and out of curiosity I dug out an old (that is 2009 old!) iPod Classic 500gb and plugged it into my 2017 Macan S via usb. Porsche badge comes up and it all works first time, is searchable and with music files and folders structured as they should be.
Handy that

Load the tunes onto the inbuilt Jukebox memory?

How do you do that if it doesn't recognize the usb connection?
