  • Forum Post: Best ipod integration for audio

    I've been using an ipod connection in one way or another for 5 years or more and recently my Neo Ion ipod attachment bit the dust. I've been set to replace it and finally decided to get a new head unit. I just received a Jensen VM9312HD and the iPod control is just terrible. It was slow and hasn't worked...
  • Forum Post: iPhone 3G can't be charged by many car stereo head units

    Hi all, The iPhone 3G requires docking units, chargers, docking cables, etc., to charge the phone over the USB pins on the dock connector or head unit connector cable. If the cable or dock you use, as with my Alpine head unit, charges iPods/iPhones over the FireWire pins, then your head unit will not...

  • Forum Post: Re: Ipod clasic with the Pioneer avic-n4

    Hey viper, Thanks for the feedback on here. Sometimes you can fix these errors by downloading new software into your iPod. According to the info we received from Pioneer, the AVIC-N4 should be compatible with the iPod Touch. As long as you use the Pioneer CD-i200 interface , you should be able to...

  • Forum Post: No iPod or Aux sounds with DXZ785USB

    Just installed a Clarion DX785USB in my car.  Install went fine.  Master sheet instructions made it a breeze.  Radio works fine and even with the rest of the (crappy) factory set-up, the sound is much improved. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get an iPhone/iPod to work using the USB connection, nor with...
  • Forum Post: 80gig classic and 16gig touch

    Is there a solution to integrate either or both of these units with a factory head unit? I just bought a 2002 Cadillac DTS for use on trips. It has a Bose system that is more than sufficient but I want to integrate my Ipods without using the cheap-o cassette adapters or FM modulators/transmitters. Is...
  • Forum Post: Re: Ipod 4th genration nano

    Welcome to the Forums rags. We do offer MasterSheet instructions for vehicles that we include for free with the purchase of equipment. However, you can purchase it for $9.99 if you only need the instructions. These instructions show how to remove the stock radio (and speakers) so that you can replace...

It worked fine on my nano but for some reason it's not playing or charging the ipod touch (2nd Gen). I read it wouldn't charge the touch,...
  • Forum Post: Kenwood KDC-X592 and Ipod not seeing eye to eye

    So I installed the kenwood unit and set it up. Hooked up my fully updated ipod video and the screen said Kenwood blah blah blah. The problem is, instead if listing artists and such, it just randomly plays my entire music collection. I've tried my video, a ipod classic 6th which I wiped then synced up...
  • Forum Post: Alpine CDA-9886 + iPod Touch, 1st gen.

    I've been reading the posts regarding all the iPod problems with various Alpine HUs, but I was wondering if any of you out there have any specific experience using the CDA-9886 HU with a 1st gen. iPod Touch. I don't know anyone who has a 1st gen. iPod Touch so I can't test it out for myself. Also if...

  • Forum Post: Ipod adapter for a factory 2002 blazer extreme? Not a FM modulator..

    After hours on the internet, it appears that the only way to use an ipod adapter with the factory radio is to have the multi disc model radio, ours is single CD and I can't seem to find a factory multi disc radio for sale for this car. My son is 17 and this was going to be a Christmas gift. Didn't...
  • Forum Post: Cassette Adapter for iPod Photo Worked Great

    Maxell CD-330. Pushed it into the cassette player, plugged the cable into the iPod headphone jack. Worked. Far superior to FM Modulators. Not as good as USB in types, but when you have no direct-in and don't want to go aftermarket stereo - it's pretty good. Volume better than modulators...
