I use this stereo just fine with my ipod.

If you want, I'll find out what the adapter I use.

 

btw: Very good head unit well recommended. ")

 

Ah I was told I couldn't use it with my ipod, I can't see anywhere to connect an adapter though?

Nowhere on the back of the headunit to plug it into ? I just bought a pioneer Hu and the ipod connection is on the back and i run the wire into my glovebox :)

It goes in the back, you need the CD-IB100 or CD-IB100 II to make it work with an iPod, plugs in like a CD changer.

Eh?

 

You just plug your iPod into a cable, remove it when you are done, the bulk of it hides away and all you have is the white cable in the cabin, once installed it's no hassle at all.

 

What kind of head unit allows you to connect an iPod without a cable?

Seems rather a hassle, I wanted something I could plug straight in to the front of the unit, so I would have to have a wire permanently there with that. I imagine it will work out expensive also.

 

Ah but with this system you control the ipod from the HU , none of this farting about with the ipod while driving .

I didn't say I wanted one without a cable, as that makes no sense, just that I don't want a cable always there which I assume it would have to be with one that plugs in to the back as it's not easily accessible quickly is it. Also, it's £90 on eBay, which I don't fancy spending especially as I am not overly attached to this unit, and I could get around £100 for this, plus for the £90 for this cable, which I could put towards a good unit which I can plug my iPod directly in to the front when I need.

Fair enough, most people like the way the adapters work, nice install, no trailing wires, easy to hide etc - if you prefer a wire stuck in the front of your head unit that's fine and dandy :)

 

 

Indeed, I can remove it and store it in the glove box when I'm not using it, which I think will look better than a wire there all the time with this adapter, that I won't be buying anyway as I'm not spending £90 on one, unless I can get it cheaper somewhere else which I doubt.

My head unit has a wire going from the back into the glovebox - I just keep my iPod connected to that all the time.

 

Yeah I would have to get someone to install it for me as I am useless with this sort of thing. Is the wire long enough for you to change the track etc from the drivers seat if it's in the glove box?

You change the track from the head unit, you don't need to touch the iPod.

 

Ah ok I thought when using an ipod to play albums on your stereo it needed to be changed from the ipod. I am considering this adapter as I could fit it when I do the speakers I suppose. Just seems rather expensive that's all. Thanks for the help.
