  1. Yeah it looks like that adapter will work, it doesn't specify 5V but it seems it would have to b/c it says it can charge other USB devices. My guess is that the passthrough wires for the 12V are just cut, so there is not both 12V and 5V going to the device on the corresponding pins. I have read rumors of an adapter for the iPhone 3G but haven't seen anything yet. The best adapter in my mind would be a small passthrough box not much bigger than the plug itself, that took the input 12V on pins 19/20 and stepped it down to 5V connecting to the output on pin 23. I have seen some say ther
  2. OK well after some more research it doesn't look like they share the same pins so our little plan will be more complex, here is what I found from the following link, not sure how much the iPhone 3G will differ: http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/ipod_pinout.shtml Important pins below: Pins 19,20 +12V Firewire Power 12 VDC (+) 23 5 VDC (+) USB Power 5 VDC (+) 24 TPA (+) FireWire Data TPA (+) 25 Data (-) USB Data (-) 26 TPB (-) FireWire Data TPB (-) 27 Data (+) USB Data (+) Pins 25 and 27 may be used in different manner. To force the iPod 5G to charge in any case, when "U
  3. I trying to do the same thing you are basically and have a few questions, maybe you can help me based on your research: 1. From what you said above, it seems the 12V(old firewire) and 5V(new usb) share the SAME pin on the actual dock connector. If this is the case, then what you said should be true, all we need to do is cut open the Pioneer Ipod cable, find the 12V wire and either regulate it down to 5V, or splice in a separate 5V source. Can anyone confirm that the 12V and 5V pins on the connector are indeed the same? 2. Did you identify the actual 12V wire in the bundle of wires

    The form says 8 weeks I think. Not sure what the actual turn around is, I guess it could be quicker.
  5. This is all good news, looking forward to getting mine installed. Thanks for the info guys.
  6. I am getting an Avic-D3 next week and I want to bypass it but want to keep the mute capability for my Motorola IHF1000 bluetooth module. This unit works great with my iPhone and the Pioneer one doesn't seem to work that great from what I read (with the iPhone that is). Anyway so can I just keep the mute plug and ground out the plug where you would normally plug the mute wire into, or does the mute wire actually HAVE to be unplugged? Basically I see no reason why I can't add an additional wire to the plug where you bypass and ground it while keeping the mute wire functionality. I am gues
