So what, it allows you to control music through the head unit from any ordinary usb MP3 player?

The second one is pioneer's new ipod interface.

Does it work the same as the CD-IB100s but just without the box?

Just like alpine's ipod cable. It only works on the new pioneer radios. From what I've been made to understand anyway.

Ya, only works on the newer stuff and it transfers video to the D3

Yep. They even have a CD player that comes with the ipod and USB cables.

So it plays video? Damn, that would be a nice feature to have through a future upgrade disk.

Don't see that happening. The ipbus line pioneer uses transfers control information and audio only. The new system they use ibus allows the video and everything. Now what would be cool is if they made a module that converted ipbus to ibus.

Agreed. I assume the N4 (if thats what they will call it) will do it though since it is coming out so much later than everything else, so there is hope for single din users

They're listing a new backup camera now but no information on it: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v ... 00,00.html

I'm hoping its cheaper then the other one they have. If it is, I might have to pick one up.
