How to feed an ipod cable from ashtray to boot?

I have a Scoche adapter that plays my iPhone 4 music and charges the phone from the Intravee. Perhaps I am not reading your post right, but are you saying that yours does not work with the Intravee?

I didnt use the "quotes properly there"!

The Scoche works fine on its own. However i got a cheapo ebay extension lead which i plugged into the scoche... which stopped the music working with my intravee :(

The problem i have with the scoche is that i use a case on my phone, which recesses the port on my phone, with a gap just the right size for the dock connector... and the scoche is wider then a standard ipod connector.
 
Quick update: I found my ipod has decided to play for a minute or so and then switch off when I used it. :( Most depressing. Thinking about this I decided it was most likely to do with the 255 limit on the software. There are several places where I have read that the Intravee can only take up to 255 folders or only 255 tracks per folder.
So back to itunes and delete all my music. Then look at the folder on my computer where wll my MP3s live - 265 folders. A quick look through and I was able to identify several collections where there were 4 or 5 folders - disc 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc so I stripped these out and now only have 252 folders. Drag and dropped this back to itunes and half an hour later, resync ipod, back to car and lo and behold, it is working fine. Phew. :D
I would also recommend downloading the latest Intravee II operator instructions to work out the menu system and what buttons do which action. I managed to locate Intravee II Users Guide (Revision 6.02-5952, 26th January 2012) 150 pages which is much better than the previous version I had (Firmware V5.40, Revision 4.2, 4th January 2008) 46 pages. I have just had a quick look but I can't find it anymore - it must be somewhere out there on the interweb. PM me if you can't find it. :thumbsup:
 
How do you arrange iTunes folders in the iPod? iPods use a proprietary database and afaik they have a fairly flat structure. I have nearly 10,000 tracks on my old iPod classic and have all manner of problems in my Ford where the iPod kit can't cope

I have one folder on my computer where I burn all my music to. Within here I have a folder for each artist. If there are several albums I generally have a folder for each album. This will have to change when I add more music - see post above re: 255 folder issue.
My arrangement consisted of dragging the MP3 folder from my windows explorer window and dropping it onto itunes music folder.
With 10,000 tracks you will have to be a bit imaginative with your folder structure. But in theory as 255 x 255 = 65025 you have a bit of room to play with.
 
I have the same thing, but don't see how that effects the iPod itself which sorts it's own file structure. If I search by album, or artist, there are thousands and the Ford kit can't cope. Once you scroll down a certain amount, and select an artist, it lists the wrong albums, or if you select an album, it displays the wrong tracks. I just leave it on all tracks, shuffle

Sorry, I can't help on this. Maybe cull out the tracks you don't listen to so often and the reduction in numbers may help.
Even with my 4951 tracks it takes a few minutes for the Intravee II to finish loading/reading through and updating the screen. This caused problems to start with untill I twigged. It was showing my previous selection for several minutes, even though I was 2 or 3 choices further on.
