fdemesa Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I have a crazy idea. A little on the extreme side. The "blue" wire (on CD-IB100)that is pulled gives functionality on the click wheel, but without the wire, the HU screen does not display info and all iPod control on HU is lost. I'm thinking of splicing this blue wire and setting a rocker switch between. That way I can control it from the ipod when I need by flipping a switch. Then when I want to use the HU display or controls, I'll switch the switch back. Does any know if this will work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fdemesa Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 So I tried my idea. It kinda works; i tried it with both an iPod (80 6th gen) and an iPhone. Here's what happens: 1) With the rocker switch set to "off" and the iPod is plugged in, control is gained with the clickwheel; however, display and control is lost on the HU (avic z1) 2) If the switch is "off" and switched to "on," the iPod clickwheel loses its control and display, and the HU gains both display and control 3) If the switch is "on" and switched to "off," the HU loses control but has display; the iPod does NOT gain control nor display. 4) Switching the rocker back to "off," still doesn't get back either control, so the stero sits in anarchy with no control The same goes for the iPhone. So in summary, the switch only works in one direction and need to be unplugged to go back. You can go from iPod to HU, but not HU to iPod. If you know you're cool with either HU or iPod having control, this is cool. But if you're used to 5th generation click wheel workaround, this technique sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeeker78 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi, Just wondering if you guys know if Pioneer is working on a new version of the CD-iB100II . I've been trying to get something for my ipod but i only heard 2 starts reviews about the interface being slow. I also looked at the cable whithout the interface, but i assimed you can't use the Avic interface with just the cable adapter, right? Oh, i forgot to say, i owened an Avic-z1 upgraded to a Z3. Any help or feedback will be great. Thanks a lot, Zeek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GnatGoSplat Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 No, they are not. Any product that uses the CD-IB100II is dead to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
