Great cable...but not for iPhone.

| This interface cable works great with the iPod but not so great with the iPhone...in fact, not at all. When the iPhone is connected, the phone does not charge and you will receive an error on your head unit's display. The phone will then ask if you want to switch to airplane mode then play only the last album in your library with no option to control the music. |
seriously a must have

| ever since installing this, i've enjoyed driving 10x as much. i honestly can't live without it. i no longer have to take out the navi cd just to listen to music. i used to burn cd's with 18 tracks. now i have 18gb of music to choose from. you can also watch ipod videos with this cable. i can't see myself ever going back to cd's. |
Works flawlessly with AVH-P4000DVD and older gen 3 Ipod

I have this installed on my Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD and it works flawlessly with my older 3rd generation Ipod (15GB, black and white screen, no video) as well as my Ipod Nano (4GB, color screen). I have used other Ipod controls for older Pioneer units and this one is by far the best Ipod control I've used so far.
Paired with the AVH-P4000DVD's beautiful touchscreen, the Ipod controls are very responsive and it mimics the real Ipod interface. The AVH-P4000DVD charges the Ipod when its docked and lists the same selections you would see as you browse your Ipod content (i.e. Playlists, Artists, Songs, Genres, etc..)
The only slight annoyance is that when you start your car, it takes over 30 seconds for the Ipod to start playing music. This is probably due to the fact that the Ipod has to turn on, then begin its communication with the headunit before it can play music.
Pros:
- Awesome interface w/ AVH-P4000DVD
- Plays older gen Ipod as well as Ipod Nano (I can't comment on the iPhone/iTouch since I don't own those)
- Mimic's real ipod interface
- Great sound quality (much better than using an AUX input or FM transmtter)
- Charges Ipod when docked
- Fast response time
- Shows full names of songs, artists, and albums
Cons:
- A little slow on startup |
12 Bucks?!

| This cable was 35 dollars when I bought and I still don't regret paying what I did. It's a sturdy cable and hasn't let me down yet. I use it with the Pioneer DEH P3000IB and the only complaints I have are with the stereo's controls, not the cable. The sound is great and at it's current price the cable is definitely worth the money. |
great

| I purchased this unit along with a Pioneer DEH P3001 cd receiver and this is a winning combination it does every thing that they claim. you can control your i pod from the unit or from your i pod itsef. |
Great Purchase

| The purchase was just perfect. I received the product I wanted in time. I install it with my new DVD player Pioneer AVH-5900 and it works just great. With the old system it was very complicated to operate the iPod but with this one is very simple. |
Well worth the money

| I know a lot of people are frustrated by the lack of video play when used with newer iPod models, but I don't own one and quite frankly prefer the video quality of true DVD playback. If I want to watch a downloaded video I'll plug my laptop into the audio input of my head unit and enjoy the 17" widescreen display. This does everything I need it to! |
