sadie4935 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 A while back I had my head unit stolen (AVIC-D3). I know it was pretty old, but I loved that thing. My situation is I purchased a refurbished Pioneer XM unit for it prior to getting broken into and I got every channel without paying for a subscription! Pretty sick, a little unethical, but honestly.... what would you do?!?!? I was using if for over a year until my unit got stolen and all my wires were cut and other half is missing. I still have the main unit but I need new wires. Anyone know where I can get only the wires for the unit so I can keep sticking it to "the man"? I think one wire is the standard IP-BUS that has been used for years, but I still think I need the power module. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sadie4935 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 right on! Thanks for the tip. I looked on ebay for weeks now. Your the man Jason! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sadie4935 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Wow. I just checked it out and for the same money I could spend on the cables I could but a brand new unit w/cables and swap them out. Any other suggestions? No way in going to pay over $100 for the power cable and the IP BUS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Don't buy the IP bus from Pioneer lol you should be able find one for less then $20. You would have to buy the power cable from Pioneer though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
casemods Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 IF it's anything like the USB cable, you can find it for 1/5 the price. $3 usb composite cables from ebay worked for me. $50 for pioneer? lol yeah right. I also laughed at the guy at the car audio shop for trying to get me to pay $30+ for the 3.5mm cable IPBUS. I made my own out of old USB connectors for a motherboard and it worked ALMOST perfectly. It's amazing how much money these companies try to rip us off every chance they get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
