iPod 6th gen. wont work on LR4
iPod 6th Gen. wont work with the land rover OEM iPod cable.
The old model of iPod works and charge OK but when I got a new one, the 6th generation ipod it works until the battery goes out and it will stop working because it dose not charge with the land rover ipod cable, you have to charge it (some where) and plug it in again on the lr4 interface
it wont charge .... dealer confirm.
any solution ???

This seems to happen often when Apple does an upgrade. From experience with other cars, it is not the hardware at all, it is Apple's software that usually breaks something. I had an iPod touch, 4th generation I think, that worked great in our 911 - did an iOS update and now it won't pull a charge from the car's connector. It's hard to blame the care manufacturers when Apple changes things like changing underwear.
As whacky as it sounds - I have an old iPod 80 gig unit that Apple stopped upgrading that is rock solid in all cars. I just leave that one in our LR4 as a 'media server'. Sync it every once in a while and we're good to go. I'd recommend just picking up one of these older units on the cheap and rock on.

Mine only does that after pulling it out and doing a sync - then it restarts at the very first song. Are you pulling it out and using it or is it staying plugged in and still resets? Mine has another random quirk that has to be pure LR - I'll set up a playlist and then use the "random playlist" function and every once in a while it will pull some random songs that aren't on the playlist. It used to happen more but we had a soft update to fix our camera problems.
