Does iPod Shuffle work in the DS3?

[BigChris]

It isn't working for me. It doesn't appear to recognise anything is connected. It is the latest iPod Shuffle.

It keeps coming up with an error. Anyone know?

I've just tried mine and it doesn't play music via USB, just comes up with 'USB Peripheral Error'. It seems to charge ok though.

Probably best to use it via Aux In instead.

Yeah it does the exact same with mine.. Charges fine though. How do you use it via "aux" ?

Assuming you have the socket, use a cable like this to connect the headphone socket to the car. Then use Source button to switch to Aux In.

Yeah should be. You can only control the music from the iPod but isn't the point to have it on shuffle anyway? Lol.

So there's no way for it to work on the dash? You can't control the volume or anything?

Well you'd set the volume on the iPod to around 75%. Then use the volume control on the car to adjust it. You just won't be able to skip tracks or pause it using the car.
