Ipod Nano/Touch Compatibility issue 2017 Q7 PP
Hi,
I took delivery yesterday of a 2017 Q7 Premium Plus built in March 17 but I could not make it work with any Ipod model I own so far via the USB ports. (Tried Ipod nano of 3 different generations, Ipod Touch Gen 2 and 4, all of them gives the "device not compatible" message).
Iphone 7 with Car Play works beautifully.
Dealer told me that its normal and I can only use Car Play compatible devices . (I find hard to believe , my BMW 2015 works with any I device without issues).
Has anybody had the same experience? Is is true that only Car Play devices can be attached to the USB ports?
I would rather not to use the AUX input (thats dealer alternative) so if anybody has found some specific model that works please share the info.
I like to just leave an Ipod in the car and not to use my phone as a music player.
Thanks!

Today i tried an Ipad Air and it worked . This ipad does not have Car Play that im aware of so may be is just a matter of using and Ipod Touch gen 5 or 6 (latest generations).
Ipod nano gen 7 (the latest) did not work so i guess nanos are out of the picture.
i will inquire if any of my friends have an Ipod touch of the latest generations to give it a try and i will post my findings.

I've used both latest generation iPod Nanos & iPod Touchs in both my Q7 & A4 thru the USB ports in the center console with absolutely no problems - album art, steering wheel control, etc.

I have two 7th generation Nanos & two 5th generation Touches - one 32 GB & one 64GB. All 4 worked in both cars.
