You only need the CD changer cable if you only have the IP bus port on the back of the HU. Most newer pioneers already have a few inch lead coming out of the unit, so you can just wire directly to that.

Best bet is do what I did.. me and my mate when halves. the mini jack connectors are bloody cheap, a pioneer ip bus (cd changer) cable is £20 from halfords, so £10 each :thumbs:

So with that, I need another cable as well to go from ipod ear phone thing to this IBus thing.

Also have to find somewhere to lead a wire out

Richie is right, jst by the bus adapter and away you go, only thing is you cant have a cd changer at the same time as you rbus connector is being used!

if your headunit has a bus connector on it, then spend 80 quid on the ipod pioneer box (look on CAD) - allows you to control your ipod from the headunit etc etc :thumbs:

Hmm... I could've sworn that was what I saw for £145... how much are they? and what quality is the music?

Good thinking batman if this solves my dilema hehe.

I know Dave 17 told me what cable I need to connect my ipod to my head unit - but I don't think it's the right one as a I have a Pioneer 6400 R Cd head unit, quite an old one (with dolphins etc) - not even sure if I have a Aux in thing or not. I know some Pioneers came with a thing called IPBus or something to plug things into?

To be honest I'm clueless. but does anyone know what I can use to get my ipod music to play out of my car speakers? I'm happy to still use the ipod to control the selection.

I know you can get some adapter that lets you control your ipod through your head unit but thats £££... and more advanced than I need. I also know you can get something that goes through the air waves but thats about £145!

So does anyone with a pioneer head unit or similar and a ipod know what exact cable I need to listen to ipod music through my car speakers via my head unit?

Cheers.
