Default ipod2car problems

hey there, i bought a ipod2car system a couple years ago, version 1.4.1 labeled on the white box...well it has worked flawlessly this entire time, UNTIL, i accidently pinched and cut the cable that hooks into the ipod a few weeks ago....

well i ordered a new one from ebay (says isimple 5v on it) and i plugged everything back together, NOTHING.....nothing at all....i have disconnected the radio, unplugged and replugged everything a hundred times...it wont change over to the ipod and it wont even charge it.......

any ideas??? like i said, its a 2002 head unit, it has been working for a long time now.......is it the cable or did the unit fry at the same time, im at a total loss here..

thanks in advance!!!

I have them
just need to know the size of the end that plugs into the box. There is two sizes. The earlier ones are larger than the newer ones.

The box is white in color as in the PXDP correct?

Also try disconnecting
set dip switches all to on
then to off
then set them
this will reset the unit as well.
