dancemf666 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I hooked up the avic f700bt in one of my cars and i used a regular apple ipod cable and it showing the artists and etc But no sound. DO you HAVE to use the Pioneer cable for the ipod? Sorry if this has been answered many times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreg Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yeah. I didn't think there was another way to hook up an IPOD to an Avic. You'll need the audio/video cables to plug into the back of the Avic for it to correctly work.. so you're correct, you need the Pioneer IPOD cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, you do *not* need "the pioneer ipod cable" you need an ipod cable that also has composite video and RCA audio jacks in addition to the USB, many manufacturers make them, including Apple. USB = Ipod control RCA = Audio and Video into the AVIC all covered in the installation guide.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeezMo76 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Don't use the Pioneer cable you'll regret it. Use the Apple, or Monster makes a cable that I switched to after having so many problems with the Pioneer cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KEK Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 GeezMo What Monster cable did you buy? I've been using the USB connection without issue after many dropout issues with Pioneer cable, but would like to watch video also... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeezMo76 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Here ya go. You will need to use a mini usb cable for charging. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.21221 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hanibal Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Cant u just plug the ipod usb cable into the usb port and have it work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It'll "work" in that you can control the ipod, but you won't get any audio or video. USB = ipod control RCA = Audio and Video into the AVIC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dianebrat Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 does anybody read manuals anymore? can we put a "no sound from my Ipod" sticky at the top of the page? Apparently they can't read manuals, PDFs, install guides, OR stickies at the top of the forums anymore.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently they can't read manuals, PDFs, install guides, OR stickies at the top of the forums anymore.. i would be suprized if anybody read the answer to any of the questions asked, i mean it would be so much easier to search for the problem and find the solution in the one of the thousands of threads this has been covered in, and then the problem would have been fixed right away instead of sitting around and waiting for sombody to spoonfeed the answer that has been placed in many places right in front of you, right?
