mbaran Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 i wonder if anyone is willing to cough up the $5 bucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 this trick allows you to control and navigate through your library using the Ipod controls. The trick states that following: "Turn the car completely off, then proceed to unhook the Ipod from the adapter. The Pioneer display should disappear leaving you at the menu screen. Next, turn the Ipod off (hold down play/pause button)and put it on HOLD. Now plug it back into the adapter, wait about 5 seconds or so, then turn the car on. You should see the charge screen on your Ipod. Turn HOLD off and once you do this it will return to the Pioneer display screen (it may also stay on the charge screen). If you try and press menu it should back out of the Pioneer (or charge) screen and into main menu." There ya go no need to spend 5 bucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe that's one of the things they changed from the IB-100 to the IB-100II?? :wink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does it actually show the full song title and stuff? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The installer had to swap the iB100 in my car out for the iB100II because the cable went bad in the old one (only heard the passenger-side speakers w/ XM). I can't tell a difference between the old one and the new one in terms of functionality. I still only get eight characters of the song displayed. Searching through the iPod takes miserably long, and my iPod is only about 20% full. I can't imagine how long it will take to get to the "Rs" searching by Artist when the iPod is nearly full!!! Still, it's better than when I tried using the I-Bus to RCA adapter by Pioneer. That unit was bad out of the box. Sound quality is great with the iB100. I wish the "trick" you posted would have worked...but thanks for posting it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 No problem. Thanks for the info guess I'll be goig with my orginal plan with an alpine radio and the d1. As for the info you can thank my pioneer rep for that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nyzgreatst Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 it seems like the D1 displays 8 letters of the song title, mine doesnt even do that? any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mddolfan Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 NYZGREATST: Are you getting something like "iPod0001" at the top of the screen? This is where the 8 characters of the song title should display. It's a matter of changing the "Function" so that the characters are displayed. If you play around with the "Function" buttons, you should be able to change that. I THINK it's Function 3, but I'll have to run out to my car at lunch and confirm (I'm taking a "coffee break" and checking out the Forum right now!). :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen lots of aftermarket interfaces for 1/3rd the price that plug into the iPod dock connector, chargest the iPod, but you control the iPod directly.[/quote] Shawn, I tried the Pioneer CD-RB20 RCA adaptor/dock connector route directly. The CD-RB20 was defective, and died after about 15 minutes of use. The dock connector was defective---didn't charge the iPod. And for the brief time that the CD-RB20 worked, I found that the sound quality from the jack at the top of the iPod to the RCA input was inferior to what I have using the CD-IB100. So yes, the D1 control of the iPod is a PITA. But the sound quality is great, and the iPod is comfortably tucked away out of sight. For me, the trade-off is worth it.

GnatGoSplat Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I can understand getting the CD-IB100 if you want to control the iPod from the HU and hide the iPod away. I personally prefer to do the same, control the iPod from the HU and hide the iPod in the glove compartment. What I don't get is why buy a CD-IB100 if you [i]don't[/i] want to control it from the HU? I wasn't really thinking of the CD-RB20 since it's just a generic aux input without an iPod connector. I was thinking of an aftermarket one similar to this: [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/Pioneer-iPod-DIGITAL-Audio-Aux-Input-IP-Bus-AVIC-N2-N1_W0QQitemZ9731733259QQcategoryZ58350QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Like the IB100, it connects the audio from the dock connector directly to the P-bus line inputs. It just seems if you want to control the iPod from the iPod itself, such a cable would be much cheaper than an IB100 and won't require any tricks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mddolfan Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 That sure looks like a good alternative. If I had known about a direct connection between the iPod and the P-bus port before I went the IB100 route, I probably would have at least tried it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I bought my unit on ebay and the package came with the Ib100. But that thing pisses me off soo much, not only does it take forever to get the m's but if I accidently hit band or something I have to start all over.Thats why I want this to work, just so when people are in my car we can skip straight to the song we want to hear. Unfortunately I tried this 3 times last night and it didn't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
