Well I am in need of a longer cable for my ipod the Pioneer CD-i200 is too short. I need at least 10-12ft. What are my options? I found this option as kind of a sort of solution.

Any help please:)

Since I am pretty sure that pioneer doesn't make an extension cable for the ipod connection bus, I would think a dock connector extension cable like that is exactly what you are looking for. Hopefully someone on here can find one a bit more reasonably priced for you though.
One thing I just noticed, that one doesn't support video. I wouldn't mind, but I hope that isn't a dealbreaker for you. I can't seem to find any other extension cables anywhere. I would have thought there was a market for something like that.
Out of curiosity, why do need one so long?
forget the name of the company but an online cable manufacturer makes a cable all u gotta do is send pictures and connector dimmensions they made a sumi cable for a z1 installl i did. also look into pioneers site hard cuz there is a cable on the z2 with that connection but its not for ipod on the z2
I do need video. I wanted to put some elmo videos on it for my 2yr old. Since the stereo does not control video I need the Ipod close. So I wanted it in my center console of my F150. So I can control it without stopping and getting in the glove box.
I honestly am surprised no one is making a cable extender! I would think there would be more demand. Any other ideas?
Thanks

if its a cdi200 and you have a video ipod just turn the video out on in the ipod and it will appear on the screen when you push the video button
I know..... BUT it won't control the video ipod. Thats why I need the longer cable so the ipod is closer to me. Glove box does not work for my needs.
It will control the ipod. Just put all your movies in a playlist. When you go to leave for a trip with the kids, you only have to press play on the ipod once and then you won't need to access it anymore. You can fast forward/rewind and go to the next movie from the D3 screen without touching the ipod

Thanks man was not aware of that. Got any suggestions on programs to rip the video to work on the ipod?
Thanks

There is a $29 program from Cucusoft, Ipod video converter, will convert just about any video file to work on Ipod, including your own DVD's.
Try HANDBRAKE, its free for both PC and MAC. It does a great job.
Thanks guys! Some great stuff here!
One last question. What do you guys use to manage and cleanup your MP3's? I have several directories between here and work of Mp3's. I have tons of duplicates. I have 46gb to clean up and remove duplicates.
Thanks

If you use an ipod there is a feature in iTunes called SHOW DUPILCATES. It will allow to remove any duplicates you have.
