iPod Compatibility - iPod Video Output
The newest generation of iPods (6 Gen Classic, 3 Gen Nano, Touch and iPhone) require specialized hardware to enable the video output. Clarion is developing this hardware and will offer it in the future. If you would like to watch video from these units, please use the Visual input on your Multimedia Station along with the Apple Composite A/V Cable.
iPod Compatibility - iPhone Connection
The iPhone can be controlled by Clarion source units when the following instructions are followed: 1. 2. 3. 4. Connect the iPhone to your Clarion source unit using the Dock Connector. The iPhone will display a message saying Accessory Attached. The iPhone will then ask if you want to enter Airplane Mode to which you should select No. You may now select iPod from the source menu of your Clarion Source unit.

iPod Compatibility - iPod Touch Connection
The iPod Touch needs to be in the Locked position to. When prompted, do not activate the Slide to Unlock function.
iPod Compatibility - iPod Video on Multimedia Stations
Clarion Multimedia stations allow for iPod video playback. Here are a few notes that should be observed when demonstrating, installing and operating this combination. The Parking Brake (Light green wire) must be set, released and set again to allow Video to be displayed on the screen of a Clarion Multimedia Station. This includes iPod Video Playback. The yellow composite video connector on the CCA673 cable must be connected to the yellow Visual Input connector on the rear of a Clarion Mutlimedia Station.
As Apple does not provide a means to control (select or start) video playback remotely, your Clarion Multimedia Stations will relinquish control over the iPod when video is selected. Select and start the video / podcast you want to view manually.
