I just hooked mine up yesterday to my Alpine CDA-117 HU. Just wondering how everyone else connected their iPod.



Just in case you were wondering... this is a tight fit and major PITA to cut the mounting holes, but it's well worth the effort IMO. The HU does play and charge from my 4th gen touch, but it does not control the touch. I'll be using my old 3rd gen nano as my "CD changer" which the HU can control.

Edit: You can control a 4th gen touch with the CDA-117 HU. It helps to read the owner's manual. Who'd a thunk it? You need to make sure you iPod is well organized though.

Im going to buy one that plugs into the cig lighter so it just plugs in and you choose a radio station. Also my friend has one that is wireless just have to put it on 88.3 or something. Yours is nice btw.

You are probably not going to be satisfied with the sound going that route. Even if you are running a stock HU there are better, not too expensive ways to go.

Don't get it. I had one and it is way too fuzzy/too much static. You'll get so fed up with trying to get it to work, you'll end up throwing it out of your car on the interstate like I ended up doing, or you'll break down and buy something else. I now listen either through my headphones, or I burn a cd. Waiting for christmas to get a new headunit with an aux. Jack.

Took the factory sound system out completely.
Run my iphone directly to the amp in the trunk and run my components & coaxials off the amp.
In process to design/ build a radio block plate so i can flush mount my iphone to it.

** Edit** Build thread soon

For my Zune, I have the USB cord (well in my Camaro I did) going into the passenger glove box and just control it via the radio.

This is also the route I'm going. Ipod into amp(s). You can also go ipod into an electronic crossover then out to multiple amps and speaker sets.I did this years ago with just a discman into a crossover out to multiple amps. These days you can have your entire music library on one device thats smaller than a pack of smokes and just as easy to transport, win win!

I have an aftermarket alpine deck with a usb port on the front and pandora support. I just connect my ipod usb cable to the phone, put the headunit on "pandora" and load the pandora app, then put the phone in the little cubby next to the cig lighter. I press thumbs up/down on the hu itself.

$150 at best buy.. not for the audiophile I'm sure, but a great upgrade from the factory deck imo. Wires aren't messy cos I don't have it in all the time.

Love the KITT "voice"/dash display! Very interesting spot for the iPod too.

Thanks. The iPod fits perfectly there and since my headunit controls the iPod, I never have to touch it or look at it so its fine to keep it hidden there.
