but it's 27 bucks, i was looking on ebay and i found some cheaper, but i duno if they work as well. please share your methods/ideas. i appreciate it.

 

also, what are the benefits of using the avox, as opposed to using an ipod, since they come out to be about the same price. your thoughts?

Well I just used the link that XM gave me for the IR extender.

 

Also, the advantages you have over yoiur ipod is that you can play divx movies and over formats not supported by the ipod. Considering this is just an external casing, you can increase the amount of storage anytime you want.

 

There are some disadvantages though, such as the fact that you cannot control it through the pioneer interface, but i dont use the avox for music anyway.
