travisj315 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I just happen to be scrolling through Pioneer's website and i came across this interesting device called the CD-UB100. It is similar to the IPOD adapter, but it is for those who dont own an IPOD. I was wondering if anyone own this device, and if so can you tell me a little about it or if you are happy with the product? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
04gotgoat? Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Woah...I wonder if this will allow another mobile HD to connect with all my MP3's. Luckily I work for a HD manufacturer now I just need this unit to test! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GnatGoSplat Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Previous thread on it here: http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4138 General consensus is this thing will work as an "External Device" on most HU's which is not a good thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznsmartass24 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I also made a thread about this a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawton Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 i actually just bought this off of fleabay a few hours ago. if anyone hasn't purchased one yet, i'd be happy to give a review on my D3 (i was curious as to whether or not the USB media can actually replay dvd files...here's to hope?)

GnatGoSplat Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Someone already posted a review and conclusion was: it's terrible. No, you can't play DVD files off USB. The UB100 has no video output or video decoder. It also doesn't have a high-bandwidth data connection so it can't send those files to the HU to be decoded either. IP Bus is a control bus only.

Lawton Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 lol nevermind it seems the product's not good for mp3s either...have to shorten it to 8 character file names is ridiculous...that's basically old school DOS. well, time to ask the guy for RMA/return...*sigh* maybe my only solution for a hard disk player is the ipod.
