I am using a generic ipod cable with my avic-x710bt. The cable has 3 composite cables and a usb just like the ui230v. I saw in this forum that any cable of this sort should work. I plugged it into my iPhone and it played music through the av1 input. No video though. It did not charge. iPhone stated accessory not compatible. When I set the input up for ipod the avic stated problem with ipod connection. Is this cable not compatible or does it not work with an iPhone 3gs?

No one here can help with this? Im sure someone has tried it.

You can help yourself by getting the proper cable. This has been gone over on here a million times. Cheap knock off cables from ebay or where ever you got it almost never fully work. Either get the Pioneer cable or the Apple Composite AV cable if you want to have full iPod support with the unit.

Thanks for your help..... i think

i recommend the apple version as the pioneer version wont charge newer ipods.

I've got the OEM pioneer cable (CD-iU230V) and it charges my 3g ipod touch.

weird, i thought my f900 wouldn't charge my girlfriends nano, however i might be thinking of my old alpine

Yea the D3 was the last Pioneer head unit that would not charge the 3G.

hey all, newb here....

So, I have the AVIC-X710BT. Does it not work with iphone 4/4s? When i plug into the phone, it charges it, but the system will not recognize it as an "iPod device" Any insight?
