Thanks, but it's absurd a multimedia interface in a 2019 vehicle can't interact with an iPod. My previous 2014 Tundra had no problem with it. This and the inability to changes sources from the steering wheel are the two biggest tech/entertainment fails in the vehicle, IMO.
I assume you meant a 2018.
Several questions I ask: Is it an older iPod? I know you have 60gb storage on it. I haven't pushed the envelope on this myself, but the only problem I've ever seen consistently with any iPod/Sync system was due to hard drive size on the iPod. Is the software up to date on the device? My iPad is no longer being supported by Apple, so all kinds of problems there for me since I made the mistake of DL'ing the final update for it, which included the deliberate crippling of some of my iPad features. Planned obsolescence. It was working great before I did that update. I usually wait to hear what people are saying. Too bad for me. Last one I'll buy.
Vehicle questions: What is the vehicle? What is the trim level of your vehicle? The only vehicle that has the Media button now (that I know of) is the Expedition.
BUT, I use the voice commands for everything, even when I'm in a vehicle that has the media button. One or two steps versus 3-4 or more. I even have a cheat I can offer, if you say List of Commands, it gives you all voice commands for your vehicle by category. I included an image to illustrate USB commands.
I would tell you that the biggest fail is actually that most dealerships do not consider it valuable to have anyone at all who can adequately explain how to use the system. Education. A salesperson really doesn't have an extra 1-2 hours to explain everything available in the vehicles. And lots of customers are intimidated by the tech even when they want it.
