When you connect your iPod to your computer, it should auto launch iTunes. That should then automatically show you all available updates and prompt you to install them.

I just wanted to thank you guys for the help. Lexus told me the ipod was to old and wouldn't work. I took the advice of the forum and installed the latest updates, works like a charm in the car...thx!

that's great! firmware updates ftw - my 'new' ipod nano wasn't working with my macbook pro on synching to itunes but after a 'restore' update it works fine now! itunes never notified me that the ipod needed updated firmware.

i tried my second gen itouch w/software version 2.2.1 and although it says connected it does not show up on my car. I then tried my old ipod classic, 6th gen, w/software version 1.1.2 and it works. Of course my iphone 4gs works but since this is my workphone i cant leave it in my car. My regular phone is the Samsung Note. Had some problems with pandorra, called up support and they said i had to turn the wifi off for it to work. turned wifi off and oila, pandora started working. I dont see my emails though.
Voice commands dont work for ipod classic, it says it is registering the data and to try again later?
