Guest Pdiddy Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I want to connect my ipod video in order to play the videos I have on them. Is that possible and what adapters do I need? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 There aren't any ipod docks that will directly allow the ivdeo to go from the ipod to the screen. You'll need that video ipod home dock a power supply for it and jack it into the av input of the avic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Or you could do something like this: [url=http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/11/18/video-ipod.html]http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2 ... -ipod.html[/url] Of if you don't like hooking up red to the yellow connector, you can get the apple one: [url=http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M9765G%2FA]http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/W ... M9765G%2FA[/url] Or if you want to get a docking connector, you can wired one up yourself: [url=http://ipodlinux.org/Dock_Connector]http://ipodlinux.org/Dock_Connector[/url] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monirul79 Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I got this, installed it and it is just perfect. Havent found anything better. It charges the ipod as well and the music quality is much better than the others since it uses the data port instead of the headphone port.

Guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Ok so I found a cable that attaches to dock connector and has the rca output but do I need an adapter for the back of the avic-z1. I don't see the 3 holes for the rca plugs. Do I need an adapter for this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 The z1 comes with an adapter cable which plugs into one of the rectangular recepticals on the back of the unit and there are female RCA plugs on that cable which any video output will connect to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 OH yeah, wow I feel stupid but one more question and i will stop with my idiotis questions. The av inputs in the back, do any of them have s-video input instead of the regular rca? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 No only RCA, but if you have something that is svideo out and you want to input that into the z1, you can just get an adapter to merge the svideo signals into one RCA video connector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F150 Duke Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hmm...so the pioneer iPOD controls that hook up for audio from your iPOD, won't work to play video? Talk about not seeing a big opportunity by pioneer. Duke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Talk about not seeing a big opportunity by pioneer. Duke[/quote] That is correct. It will play the audio but not video. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
