no this is not relevant to the do I have the correct cable thread

 

I have the correct cable but it is hardly the length I need it to be will these links below suffice as extentions so i am able to run the cable to my center console?

 

one is a 3.5 mm 4 pole av extension cable and the other a regular usb male to female extension cable

Probably. No one can say for sure unless they also tried that A/V cable. The connectors look right. If it doesn't have proper shielding, it might pick up some noise or cause intermitant control problems.

 

BTW I store my ipod in a storage compartment at the rear of my center console with the stock Pioneer dongle + ipod cable, and still had extra to cable to tuck/hide. But I guess it would depend on how high the HU mounts in your dash. The longer the cable, the more chance you will get quality degradation.

If you are just looking at the length of the iPod cable you have the wrong idea. It plugs into a cable that is about 2.5 to 3 FT. long.

if i move the mute wire to do the bypass does this mean my steering wheel control mute button will no longer work? im confused about the effects of moving the wire
