I HATE Pioneer now...

So I bought my brother's Cobalt after my truck engine blew, and he had a Pioneed DEH6700, from a year or two back. He let me keep it. It's a nice unit.

HOWEVER, to hook my Ipod up I had to spend $68 to have some BULLSHlT "brain" installed. What the hell?

With the Kenwood I had in the truck, it was a single cable that plugged into the back of the CD player where the CD changer would go, and then had a stereo jack for my ipod, so I could control my ipod WITH my ipod.

But no. Pioneer has to be a ******-*** company who wants me to control my ipod through their cumm guzzlingly slow interface.

YAY! NOW IT TAKES ME 20 MINUTES TO FIND A SONG I'M LOOKING FOR!!!

I guess I could just take the Pioneer out and put my Kenwood in, but the Pioneer is a higher quality deck, so I'm confused as to what I should do. Plus, I just spent money on the install so it's feel wasteful...

It would work on 95 percent of decks at least

So you're mad that Pioneer didn't have iPod interfaces in mind several years ago? Jesus. Jesus Christ.
