i want to add xm and ipod to my alpine 9835. i read this on crutchfield:

This unit can pass thru AI-Net signals. If you have the KCA-420i IPOD unit and want to add XM, you do not need to add the KCA-410c. This unit will connect to your Alpine SAT Ready deck and then your KCA-420i will connect to it. I found this out after pounding Alpine and TERK for a straight answer on this issue. I still ordered it from Crutchfield, but I let the Sales Rep know that his info on this product was false. The need to change the Features TAB to say Pass Thru- YES.

now i assume i would buy this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hXlKw4dTdK6/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=247350&id=essential_info&i=209XMD1000#Tab and this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hXlKw4dTdK6/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=500KCA420I&s=0&cc=02 then the ipod interface would hook into the xm tuner and then that would hook to the headunit and i will be able to control the xm and ipod correct?

i'm pretty sure i'd need both pieces regardless so i'll probably order them and then if i need the alpine adapter for the xm i'll have to get that

personally icetee, I always thought you had to use the KCA-410c if you wanted to use more than one accesory that hooked up through the Ai-net port

i don't see how those 2 pieces would work together.

yea

 

[iceteebone 5,000+ posts]

in the review the crutchfield editor said that was correct. i'll e-mail crutchfield and see what they say

I dont think it will either...the 410c acts like a relay switching between the two, without that, I don't see possibly how it would work.
