Well, not hopeful here, but I thought I'd give the forums a try. I've been using my 5th gen iPod 160GB (the non-touch, non-bluetooth kind) in my TL for years now and it's worked pretty well (except for the terrible nav with large amounts of music).
Yesterday I went to play some music and the USB connection says NO DATA. I unplugged ipod and reconnected at ipod side, unplugged and replugged at the USB dongle side, reset ipod, all to no avail. I then took the ipod in and tried it and the usb to ipod cable on the computer and it works fine. The cable looks fine, no damage or anything. Also tried blowing on connectors and yelling at it with zero affect.
I then tried plugging in my Samsung Galaxy S4 into the USB connector and it still would not connect and also did not show a charging indicator.
So it seems the USB port is dead. Everything else on radio/nav works ok: bluetooth with S4, hdd, nav, radio etc. I am hoping against hope for a magic USB only fuse or the like. I hate the thought of bringing it to the dealer for this.
Thanks for any help.
