viccyran Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I was about to get my unit installed with the ipod connector and the installer said I didn't need it because I could just use my USB - > Ipod connector that I normally use for the computer. Does that work? And will I get all the playback functions that I would have with the pioneer connector? Thanks in advance for the responses Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 No, you need the Pioneer cable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viccyran Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Alright, thanks. Well he's gonna install it, and I'm assuming that he's going to draw the usb cable all the way to my glove compartment, so I'll just run the extra cable I already bought from there.

CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 No, you need the Pioneer cable you can also use the apple composite cable too, both work the same, and the apple one is cheaper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Actually, the MSRP on the Apple cable is $49.00 and the MSRP on the pioneer cable is $49.99... so they're basically the same price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HiFiSi Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 One warning dude... you get what you pay for. There has been a few people I've seen here that were having ipod problems, and it turned out their cheap-o ebay ipod cable was the cause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
