Sabre3487 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Just installed the Avic-D3 and CD-UB100. It gets recognized as an external device. It can recognize song names but you have to shorten them to like 12-15 characters or it cuts it off. Not the best functionality, but if you organize your music on the mem stick into folders and know what number folder they were it has no problem playing the songs and searching or skipping. Just not the best user interface, but It works fine. I will show pics later. I added a usb coupler in my console so that It looks clean and can just stick mem stick in.

henrycc Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Does the CD-UB100 recognize DiVX format? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hybridamp Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's only for audio: MP3 / AAC I have a friend with a 500gb external USB hd full of mp3s, it's about all the music one would need. And where/what coupler did you get? I noticed MP3car.com has an ok one: http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetails. ... =COM%2D040 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre3487 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 This is the coupler I ordered from L-Com http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=8159 They have it in black, and tan. Then you just need to order a TYPE A to TYPE A USB cable off the iternet. I could not find any the local stores. so far it plays wma, mp3 Burn Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PhatBoyG Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 That's a pretty slick add-on item, particularly since most drives are up to 8GB or more now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blizzard Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 If I already have the following: Sirius & 12cd Changer And I want add the CD-UB100 - do I need to add anything else to be able to make everyhting connect properly? (IP-BUS)? Thx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre3487 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 It is not a cig to usb. That is just a straight through panel mount usb coupler. Basically you run a type a to type a cable to the connector and then just plug in the mem stick. You should be able to add this no problem, to your sirrus, it comes with an ip bus cable, you just would plug that into the back of your deck, or probably could daisy chain it to the sirrus box.

hybridamp Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah, that is pretty awesome. Drop a 500gb external USB harddrive and who needs anything else when you have all the discography's that you can imagine, lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GnatGoSplat Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Does browsing interrupt playback? Kind of sucks about the titles. D3 is so new, that seems really crappy of Pioneer not to give it native compatibility. I guess when I get a D3 I'll just stick with iPod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blizzard Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm returning my 12cd changer and getting the CD-UB100 USB thingy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
exs2k Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I also just installed the AVIC-D3 w/ CD-UB100, but for some reason, I cannot get the filenames to show on the screen. It only shows folder number 02, 03 etc... I truncated the names to 12 characters, but that did not help either. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
