ipod/Nav-TV integration and podcasts

[ebschaf]

Hi,

This is my first post (and, I just registered today) but I've found these forums to be very helpful. Thanks to all of you who make it that way.

I have an '07 997S Cab and just installed the ipod integration through the Nav-TV product. I'm able to do pretty much everything I want but just recently ran into something I can't seem to figure out or get an answer to...podcasts & audiobooks on the ipod.

Podcasts and AudioBooks are separate menus on the ipod at the level of Playlists, Artists and Genres. However, the PCM only shows those latter ones and does not include the podcasts or audiobooks. I'm looking for a work around to this issue.

Clearly, I could replicate the audiobook folder as a playlist. However, doing the same with the podcasts presents some problems in keeping it updated automatically.

Anyone have/know of any good solutions for this?

Thanks.

Ed

I moved to the iPhone (see my post here if you haven't seen it already): http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14903, but it works pretty flawlessly when I use the iPhone interface (my default preference now with the iPhone)

I found a shortcut, by to getting to "manual control" mode after you plugin/turn on: hold down the iPhone's button for 6 seconds when the white "accessory connected" screen comes up to kill it and you're in manual mode on the Nav-TV.

As a bonus, you get Video Podcasts with the iPhone, but not recommended while driving! (I subscribe to CNN's Anderson Cooper's 360, and can listen but watch the video at stop lights :) )
