i have an alpine-9827 headunit. i bought the interface for the ipod. i dont really like it. the only thinki like is that it chargers. the think i hate is that if u wanna find a song i would have to scrol though the headunit and that took forever. if any body has another way of hooking this up to scrol though the ipod instead of the headunit would be great.

If you want to use the iPod to navigate, connect it to a standard RCA-input on your headunit.

( .. duh.)

so that monster cable just goods into the RCA input? if so how is the SQ with a sound system. also isnt there a way to charge it too? i am still a little confused is there a write up on this.thanks

The problem, usually, is that the iPod's headphone jack is amplified; Pushing an amplified signal into a line-level (RCA) input leads to distortion. Ideally, you want a cable that has RCA on one end, and a Dock Connector on the other.

then how would i go about making it scrollfaster on my headunit

I dont think there is a way. Ive tried several times but I just end up scrolling 1 by 1. U could put it on random and see if the song comes up. Then search the albums (Press 3, then the search)
