    Why does my iPod screen display 'loading' for a long time on my REI ST-5050 Car Receiver?
    • E
      Erica LeblancAug 28, 2025
      If the iPod screen displays “loading” for a long time on your REI Car Receiver, it might be due to the device not being fully supported or having a low battery. You can wait for the iPod to load, or reconnect the 30-pin plug. If it continues loading, use the AUX input or a Bluetooth connection instead. The radio supports a majority of iPod models, but not all are guaranteed.

      Gordon RobinsonAug 31, 2025
      If the audio from your REI Car Receiver is distorted or low, it could be due to a weak or overdriven source audio level, or the bitrate of the audio file being too large. Try adjusting the volume level of the auxiliary source or changing the sample frequency or bitrate of the file.
