I have a Pioneer Premier DEH-P980BT that I want to connect by 1st gen ipod touch to. What would be the best way to do this?

 

im guessing it has the usb input in the back? just run the cord to the glove box and you can keep the ipod in there connected.

 

No it doesn't haven't a usb connection.

 

That's what the IP Bus connection is for on the back of the deck.
However you need an adapter to get it to hook up to your Ipod. Its only $50.00 so its pretty cheap as adapters go.

You can use a PAC adapter or a FM transmitter but the wireless thing sucks and your going to pay the same for an adapter from any other company might as well get the one that was built for your deck.

 

yup spun got it on the nose BUT im not sure if its compatable with the ipod touch or iphone.

Thats a pretty nice radio btw i had it in my car for some time. idk why pioneer cant make one with that display anymore

 

I appreciate the help Spun.

Yeah that's what someone else told me that they weren't sure if it was compatible with the ipod touch. Yeah I like the radio it's pretty nice.

I called Empress Audio over hear cause they sell pioneer and they guy I talked to said it will play songs from the ipod touch but it won't charge it but that he has a cable I can get that will allow it to charge. He said it was because the CD-IB100II was meant to charge at 12volts.

 

maybe idk we honestly dont do too much with add on accessories like that. last year all we would buy would be the primer line because it came with the accessories in the box. Otherwise people wouldn't buy them and would bitch because they didnt have it (plus they were cheaper then pioneer radio +ipod cable)

 

Well when I go over there I will ask some more questions and then decide on what to do.

I can understand that for a business it makes sense.
