I just bought a 2025 ST. I plugged my Nano Ipod in the USB port but for some reason it doesnt show up anyone on the screen so I can play it. Yes the IPOD works, I use it in my 2014 F 150. Any ideas?


Thanks

Doesnt work to me either. I have Ipod 160GB. It says device not supported. I will trty a regular usb stick with some music to see if that works. If it doesnt well that kinda blows but it would be okay. I have music on my phone

Well, it's a 7-year-old device so it's very possible they're not supporting it anymore, especially since they changed to a Google-based OS for the infotainment.

I had trouble accessing my Ipod way back on the My Ford Touch (sync 2) system so I switched to a thumb drive and everything works just fine ever since. Also, when the battery in the ipod gets low you can't access it all, so you either take it out of the car once in a while to charge it or deal with a dead ipod now and again. You don't have that problem with a thumb drive.

The system doesn't support iPods. I use a wireless CarPlay Adapter for my iPhone that works great. I got it off Amazon for $42.45.
