Question from "old school" guy joining the 21st century..

Hi guys!

Question for anyone who is more tech-savvy than me (and that should be almost everyone).

I recently picked up an F55 and it doesn't have a CD player, so I need to make other arrangements.

My son plugged in the iPod that he uses every day, and no music; nothing.

Naturally, we hit "media", the "USB device" option came up, we chose that, and nothing.

Who will tell me what we're doing wrong?

Thanks!

An aux cable is probably the easiest way to play music from an external device. You can buy them at Best Buy or any electronic store, or really from almost anywhere (gas stations, Pep Boys, etc.). Plug into the iPod, iPhone, or whatever device you have, plug the other end into the aux jack in the car and you are good to go.
