Yes they will.

There is the iPod hookup (requires the cable) which will pull all the ID3 tags from the mp3s and videos and stream to your D3. Allowing you to change tracks from the head unit as well..

Using a standard mp3 player, you can use a regular 3.5mm stereo jack and plug it into the AUX port. In order to change tracks this way you will need to use the buttons on your mp3 player as it doesn't interface with the D3 in any way besides routing the audio.

how do you get the songs to the ipod or mp3 player? do you use a computer and copy cds to the ipod, sounds like a ipod is the way to go, if you cant tell i am new to the ipod/mp3 generation

whats the deal with all the different generations of ipods?

iPods cost more, but have more features. As for generations, if you want a small one, get a nano. If you want a wifi enabled device get a touch.

As for loading, yes you would use a computer to put the mp3 files onto it.

i assuming the btb200 and the ipod cable can both be hooked to the d3 at the same time

Yeah, they can.

Only dumb questions are unasked!
