Make sure the cable on the dock plugs into the ipod, and not just looks like it does. Does the ipod still work, my old ipod kinda stopped working and I had to hit the back or drop it on the floor to get it working again. Does itunes still see the ipod?

Same trouble here. I went thru 3 different modules and cables from BrandMotion without luck. Would work sometimes and other times it would not recognize the Ipod. I have satelite unit but not sure if that makes the difference. I returned mine for refund.

After the experience I had with Brandmotion after purchasing the connected truck package, I would avoid them like the plague!!!

Sometimes mine won't recognize the iPod either. I've found that if I jump in and turn the key to start the truck it usually tells me the iPod isn't connected, but if I turn the key to 'run' and let it sit for a second then start the truck everything works fine. I don't know if it's a voltage issue since most electrical stuff gets cut off when you're cranking the engine or what, but that's how I keep mine working. Otherwise, it's turn the truck off, open the door then try it again.
