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...

Holy crap you whine alot.

the interface is a "tad slow" on the pioneers, but whatever. you'll just have to deal with it. i don't see it being a deciding factor on what HU to use or purchase. at least for me.

i bought the ipod ipbus adapter and it works fine //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I refer decks that play mp3, acc, etc type file formats. Seems like it keeps the sound quality better that way, and you can have over a hundred songs on a cd. Pioneer FTW....but I also like sony:crap:

All you need is the IP-Bus to Mini-plug... or IP-Bus to RCA adapter...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking...

Anyway, I founf a way to bypass the pioneer interface and control using the Ipod. Problem solved.

So we can go back to arguing over who makes the best HU's...

 

[ngsm13 5,000+ posts]

Not to mention... you could have gotten the IP-bus aux adapter for like $15...

how?

i been wondering that for a hot monite

 

[XxSuperAdamxX 10+ year member]

or you could have gotten an auxiliary adapter for 20 bucks and used the 3.5mm head phone jack like i did with mine....

I did that for couple of months. The interface adapter sounds way much better, but 68 bucks to play iPod?? I wouldn't do that. maybe 30.
