Just got an 09 Sonata with a USB hookup. Tried to hookup my iPod via the USB cable provided with the iPod. Get a message on radio "USB port empty". I brought it up at the dealership today and one of the sales people took their iPod, which was just like mine, and hooked it up the same way and it worked. Any ideas on what the problem is? iPod works fine aside from this issue.
How old is your Ipod or how new is it? I think some older or newer ones can't be recognized. All Ipods look pretty identical so thats about the only think I could think of.
