Hi Kurt,

Are you trying to use a good old fashioned iPod, or trying to connect an iPhone?

Can you confirm the type of USB socket you have (see extract from manual below)?

USB Socket*
The socket B is available in two
different versions: the type provided
with your vehicle can be identified by
the symbol shown next to it:
– USB Recharge
– USB Full
USB Recharge Socket
Socket exclusively dedicated to
powering the external source, of
course if this is designed for this
purpose (e.g. iPod).
This socket cannot be used for data
exchange.
USB Full Socket
This socket allows you to exchange
data and power the connected source.
If there are MP3 files on the USB key,
they will automatically start playing.
This will not occur if you are already
listening to a music source; in this
case, you need to select the USB
function by repeatedly pressing
button SOURCE.
iPod Connection*
An iPod can be connected to the
system via the USB (full) and AUX
sockets by means of a special cable
(optional) The Multi Media System
will then control the following
functions: play, pause, fast forward,
rewind, next track, previous track,
random or repeat mode, selection and
navigation of playlist/genre/artist/
album/Podcast.
Note: On the Maserati website, at
http://www.maserati.com, or through the
Authorized Maserati Dealer you
can consult the list of iPod devices
compatible with the Multi Media
System, together with their level of compatability

Regards,

Graham
