matthieuallie Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm currently using the CD-IB100II iPod ADAPTOR and it works quite well (besides the quite slow scrolling/browsing, but with smart playlists, it is quite decent). I was thinkin about adding the A/V connection from either the docking connector or the headset connector on the IPOD to the RCA AUX input in the back of the Z1 (cable will run into the glove compartment). Has anyone used it? I was wondering how the pictures would show on the screen: does it fill up the screen? is the display adjustable like a DVD (full, zoom,...). Thanks!

cntrylvr79 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Depends on how the ipod is outputting the video signal. If I remember correctly the av input doesn't adjust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matthieuallie Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 are u sure u had the IPOD set to output video signal (PAL or NTSC)? it's under Video Settings on the IPOD... did u use the docking connector or the headset jack? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sloppy Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I use mine all the time, The screen size is standard wide screen format meaning you will have black bars at the top and bottom on anything downloaded in widescreen which most are nowadays. Check Ipod settings but also make sure the aux output on the z1 is turned on this is done in the av settings menu, I had no signal as well till I found that little button hiding in there.

matthieuallie Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 what about pictures from your IPOD? do they show OK on the AVIC screen? with black bars on each side? do you have any photo by any chance to show us? thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cirbirus Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Just to make this clear to everyone, you are [b]not controlling the iPod through the radio[/b] but are instead [b]using the controls on the iPod [/b]itself correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Yes the ipod is controlled through it's clickwheel and not the radio. Well until someone decides to make an interface capable of outputting video along with audio... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mo-D Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Somebody did make one. Clarion has one for their new 2DIN head unit. I was seriously considering it, except that it doesn't appear to be released yet. Plus, Circuit City doesn't carry Clarion and I couldn't get my sweet deal ;) I truly hope Pioneer follows suit and makes a cable/adapter for video from the ipod.
