Hello, I have a 2005 Acura TSX WITH the Navigation System. I would like to add an Ipod hookup. Most people have told me I can't with this head unit (but could in the 2006 which also has XM). I don't plan on changing the system. Is my only option something like the Parrot MKi9200? Ideally, I would...

I recently bought an 09 Altima and the Nissan dealership put in the Eclipse AVN726E when I asked for GPS with ipod compatibility. I have an 80GB ipod video (5th gen, I believe) that is hooked into the back. I don't know which cable the installers used. Here's my problem. The 726E has no trouble...

tburrell is correct. If you just got a USB-to-iPod cable, then that is the issue. You need the KCA-iP300V cable to connect any iPod to this receiver. USB alone is not enough. You also need the audio portion that this cable gives to hear the music. The USB is just control information. Please let us know...

Within minutes of connecting my ipod Nano (4th gen) to my new JVC Arenal KDA605 through an ipod connector and the unit's usb port, the ipod skips, freezes, stops working/responding, etc.... (all sorts of problems). The JVC is set to control the ipod from its head unit. The ipod never does this when...

Hello eveyone, I am having a problem with this unit. I am trying to use my Ipod nano to play videos to my head unit but I keep getting "TV Out Enabled: Please Connect Video Accessory". I have the ipod cable connect to the head unit without the Iplug because I didn't need the extra video...

I recently purchased a kenwood ddx512 and the kenwood ipod adapter. I already had a 5.5 gen ipod that I wanted to connect to the receiver. The audio portion works great. I have no problem playing music from my ipod. When I play video it doesn't retain the last played portion of the movie. What I...

Ken takes center stage in the Crutchfield Kenwood KDC-HD942U CD receiver video. He explains that this versatile car receiver gives you plenty of listening options. In addition to an AM/FM tuner, the KDC-HD942U also plays CDs and burned MP3 discs as well. As Ken notes, that's just the beginning. He...

For some time now, we've been offering two tips to people who want to get great sound when they connect their iPod to a home audio system: Import (rip) your music at a higher bit rate , preferrably in the Apple Lossless format. Bypass your iPod's built-in digital-to-analog converter (DAC), by means of...

I listen to my iPod through the stereo in my car and through headphones while I work and exercise. But what if I want to listen to my iPod throughout my house, too? After all, the speakers in my home are the best ones I own. Fortunately, working at Crutchfield gives me the opportunity to look into these...

Yes, you can store more music files on your iPod ® or other MP3 player with more compression, and they'll sound OK when you're listening through earbuds. But you lose some high- and low-frequency information when you compress your music, along with some of the details that make your music interesting...

Selecting higher bit rates when ripping digital music files gives you better sound quality. The trade-off, as we've discussed , is that the files are bigger, and fewer of them will fit on whatever storage medium you choose - an iPod® or other MP3 player, your computer, an external hard drive, a USB thumb...

My old iPod® mini died a couple of weeks ago. No need to mourn, it had a good life. But when I purchased a new 8GB iPod nano , I realized something important about car receivers and iPods. My car receiver, a Pioneer DEH-P7000BT , has a USB input that supports iPod connection and control. The USB connection...

So, what effect did replacing my Yukon's factory radio with the Alpine have on the rest of the factory system? (See Part 1 for background.) It really notched it up, no kidding. Fatter bass, more dimensionality and presence. The kinds of things you'd associate with a cleaner signal path and better amplification...
