F90BT iPod + Zune Questions

So as the subject states, i have a Avic F90bt head unit. Currently it has my iPod connected via AV1 / USB (with the supplied cable) and everything works great. However i want to add my Zune to this now. My question is, without using the front AV2 connection via Mini Jack. Is there any way to accomplish my goal?

 

I have looked at and ordered the Soundgate CORE system http://www.zune.net/en-US/products/s/soundgatezncblpakcablepack/details.page/ but obviously it appears my only option is to use the mini jack in the front to get it connected.

 

I have noticed this http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Accessories/iPod/CD-IU205V adapter on pioneers website. It looks like it would open up the RCA connections on the rear of the unit for other things. Am i right by assuming that? Anyone have any similar experiences?

 

I have searched but am unable to find the answers that i am looking for!

 

Help please!

that pioneer piece that you linked to, is for different pioneer decks that have the full speed connection (F- series don't)

 

so you can either hook up one or the other to AV1, put a switch box in along with that soundgate part and not only have to switch the source at the switchbox but also have to go into the menu and change the settings for AV1 from Ipod to video every time, or do the front input

 

why would you be switching back and forth from an ipod to a zune so much any way, i would say that you would want to set the car up for the one that you are going to be using the most and then use the front input for the one you would be using from time to time, since they both do pretty much the same thing, just pick one to use

i switch them because i plug my iphone into the headunit semi frequently to listen to audio books. I do not put music on there much at all.

 

The zune however is what i listen to music on the majority of the time.
