2011 Tahoe IPOD compatability
Hello,
I just bought a 2011 Tahoe with USB interface.
I have an OLD ipod that is not compatible with the radio via usb port.
Can anyone tell me what generation ipods they are using successfully?
I'd rather not buy a brand new ipod nano...since it's only going to stay in the tahoe...I'm hoping the last version of nano will work.
Any info will be appreciated!

The USB supports the following devices:
- USB Flash Drives
- Portable USB Hard Drives
- Fifth generation or later iPod
- iPod nanos
- iPod touch
- iPod classic
Not all iPods and USB Drives are compatible with the USB port.
Make sure the iPod has the latest firmware from Apple for proper operation. iPod firmware can be updated using the latest iTunes application. See www.apple.com/itunes.
For help with identifying your iPod, go to www.apple.com/support. Radios that have a USB port can play.mp3 and .wma files that are stored on a USB storage device as well as AAC files that are stored on an iPod.
And, as 73shark suggested, if you have an older iPod model that is not supported, it can still be used by connecting it to the Auxiliary Input Jack using a standard 3.5 mm (1/8 in) stereo cable.
I hope this information is helpful! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
It will work with the aux port, but I wanted full steering wheel control of the ipod.
Will all versions of Nano's work or just the new version?
Lastly, I thought about the usb drive option, but will I be able to play my protected music...i.e. itunes downloads?
Thanks!
