Just wondering with Ipod compatible head decks, do you simply plug it in via cable and play it off the device or is there a memory card that gets transferred from the Ipod to the headdeck?

Im guessing memory card from the photo of the headdecks with the Ipod option, there was a memory card style chip next to them.

Oh and im thinking of getting one of these headdecks in the future as my girlfriend is buying me an ipod for my birthday, are they a good idea or just a novelty like the headdecks that change colour screens?

Thanks in advance

Hi there..

from my understanding you need to buy a link cable of sorts to suit the headunit and it will allow you to charge the ipod and control playback... it pass's the sound through into the headunit for playback, like the same way haveing a cd stacker would work.. you can chage tracks etc.. on the pioneer headunits it passes about 8 charachters or something thgouh to display song titles. They do not transfer the songs themselves into the headunits, they stay on the ipod... I'm not sure about the photo ipods though, i dont think the images would be controlable.. Hope that helps..

Cheers,

Damo

tis a cable on 90% of the units. as stated above the cable will make it act as a stacker. the only limitation you have is displaying track info.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
