No need to connect Ipod to AUX. I used to connect my Ipod Classic to USB port and it used to recognize the device and was able to play/browse music.

Copy music in your ipod as you do in normal pen drive or hard disk. Then it will recognise the songs via usb. I doubt if it will recognise songs which are transferred in ipod using itunes as that's a differen format.

@rahul_kej - This won't work.

@gpriyesh - It seems your iPods filesystem is corrupted and thats why the XUV is not recognizing it when connected by USB. I use mine perfectly fine and it works amazingly well. I suggest you reset your iPod using iTunes and copy over your music again. If that doesn't work, try another cable.

Re: Mahindra XUV500 : Test Drive & Review

Could any XUV(AWD) owners can comment on their slush drive experience and snaps or video clips if any.. similar to one described on the Duster-AWD thread.

Has any one used philips xtreme vision or osram nightbreaker plus for XUVs low beam. Is it better than the stock osram. Your views are highly welcome.

I wouldnt recommend changing the OE bulbs to these above models because, their life span is shorter than the normal bulbs. IT IS a real pain to change those headlight bulbs. So, often you would be required to visit the service centre for that. Also , they dont offer a drastic improvement in vision. If you feel that the low beams are not bright enough, shift to Philips HIDs . If you are having problems with high beams, buy a pair of Hella 3003 .

Hi, Do you know where can I get Philips HIDs from? I'm looking for 4200K (or 4300K) Philips HID bulbs. I already have Philips ballasts with me.
THanks.

Guys,

I am also keen to change my low beam lights. I have read earlier that HID makes considerable difference. Please guide me on which is good quality HID and what does entire kit consists of. Any further information on costs would really help.

Thank you,

If I remember it correct, SDP got it via the group purchase for Morimoto that happened earlier, I'm trying to see if I get just the HID bulbs for Philips from India, I can make use of my ballasts, else I will go with the complete HID kit, either Osram, which is available in India or Morimoto that may need to be ordered from US.

Did you get a chance to check in JC Road?? Probably I might go this weekend, will check there and let you know if the Philips HID bulbs are available.
