Hi, we’ve just recently changed our old Mac Bluetooth radio over to the new one with the word SXM on the face of the radio I have connected my iPod into the USB port and for some reason they do not automatically connect so unfortunately I don’t appear to be able to play my music from my old iPod. Do you have any lights to shed on how to get it to work?

The Mack M359 radio does not support direct Bluetooth streaming from an iPod if it is an unsupported model. However, you can connect your iPod using a standard 3.5mm (1/8 in) stereo cable to the auxiliary input jack. Alternatively, if the iPod is supported, you can connect it via USB, and the radio will start playing music from it automatically while also recharging the iPod.
