Has anyone tried hooking up a iPod Video to a AVIC?
Curious to see what the quality looks like.

Thanks,
Jason

not yet, but tomorrow I'm putting in an AVIC-N3 and the ipod adapter and I'll check it out on a nano and video and post it up here within a few days. i didn't think they showed video from ipods, but that would be sweet

They don't display video through the ipod adaptor. You need the iPod Video Cable to connect to the Aux in.

ive had my video ipod hooked up to my d1 since they came out, the picture isnt the best but is bearable, does not beat a dvd in anyway hooked to the unit, you have blur in the picture. for a 6.5" screen there isnt much to expect. Im happy with it, oh the volume you have to turn really high also. I have used the apple video cable and also the one that hooks to the bottom of the ipod, no difference becides the apple one the volume is controlled though the ipod, the bottome one is a set colume for a true RCA audio output. -Mike

Best buy has a adaptor to watch your ipod video on the tv.I'm thinking about customizing it into my car then I can use it remote to control my ipod video or music right on the screen.

I purchased the Roadshow from xtrememac the other day, havent installed it yet but it has very good ratings:

It's not necessary to get an Ipod AV cable. You can actually use a regular cable with the 3.5mm mini head phone style jack. Just use the right channel as the video, left channel as right and the video channel as the left.

For general reference:

If you have the D3, you can purchase a connector cable for under $30 that will charge and sync your ipod video to the unit. The video even plays through this very inexpensive and typical iPod cable. Mine comes out in the glove box.

For anyone considering the D3 for professional installation, who already has or is considering an iPod video, go ahead and get the cable installed with the unit. they generally won't charge for installing it at that point.

are u sure that the inexpensive wire lets u play the video by itself because i have it hooked up and only sound comes through when i play a video?

Try checking your video out settings on your ipod and make sure it's "on"

video--> video settings --> TV Out --> ON

Also: TV Signal --> NTSC

yea that worked. thanks a lot

Would I be able to play video using the pioneer CD-IB100II ?
Right now I have an ipod mini and I wanted to upgrade to the video one and at the same time be able to watch videos. Thanks!

Only through the A/V input. The 100 does not transfer video

Thanks for the quick response there buddy. Do you know if pioneer makes one? cause the one listed above is made by somebody else. Thanks again...

not true video works fine with the cd-i200 cabel

turn tv on

ok, so I should be able to watch videos using cd-i200 ?

Only on a D3 and an AVHP5900DVD. For the Z1 you have to go through the A/V input to watch movies from your ipod

hey guys,
i have a question . i have the d3 and used my bro-in-laws ipod. it worked perfectly as soon as i plugged it in. we then tried a movie that he had on there, first the screen showed something about using ipod to control video or something about that, which i already knew from reading on this site. after messing with the settings, we got the screen to show movie. the problem however is i cant get the screen to go back to te ipod interface. when we turned off the movie that black screen stating about controlling video directly through ipod is still showing. i even disconnected and reconnected the ipod and as soon as i select ipod in the av menu, it goes to the black screen. anyone know how to get back to the interface screen and also how to prevent this in the future, as i am real close on grabbing an ipod.

So are people saying that the cable from the CD-IB100II can pass video to the Z1??? News to me.

Not the CD-IB100II box unit, the gray serial plug cable (CD-I200). Plug that into the port that says "iPod" in the rear and you should be good.

Touch the screen and the answer shall be revealled. :D

Yeah, that can be a little scary until you get to know your system. When you touch the video button to watch iPod video, the D3 basically "hides" everything so you have a clear view of the video. To go back, just touch the screen and touch the "music" button to return to the click-wheel display.

Whenever in doubt with the D3, just touch the screen or hit menu. There's generally several options to choose at all times.

Have fun. I'm a huge advocate of using an iPod video with this system.
