Heads up for anyone that is thinking about buying a Pioneer product. I bought the Pioneer AVH-P4000 DVD player for my car and it was the worst thing I could have ever done in my life. This player will NOT work with most IPODS!!! And the ones it does work with, well lets just say NEVER update the IPOD’s software. Once you do this, all bets are off. The IPOD will be as useless to you as can be. There’s no way to revert back to the old software and Pioneer, in their unyielding wisdom, has decided not to offer firmware updates for their products, or at least the one I got anyways. As you can see where this goes, an updated IPOD can’t be recognized by the radio anymore and hence your out of luck. Something tells me we should all file a class action lawsuit against Pioneer for not advising us of this dirty little ploy of theirs. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
Although the DEH P6500 has an IP bus connection on the back,the cable that was shipped to me will not work. It is totaly different. You may want to check that you are getting the correct IP Bus connection before you waste your money and time. I now have my stereo hanging out of my car and no connection for iPod. I shall think twice in future.
Except that my husband and son took a bit of time to thread the cord behind the unit and create a reasonable “ipod holder” out of the ashtray(in a 1989 Olds-too “old” to understand Ipod cords)…..THIS IS A SMART BUY!
All his music is easily transported from house to car without any bulky adapter boxes swinging around the dash.
The cable combined with the Pioneer stereo sounds great! Since the speakers had to wait for Christmas – I’m very impressed with the sound coming from the old Olds factory installed speakers. I can’t wait to hear the quality with new speakers!
I am NOT anxious to ride with my son, though. But, when I was forced to accept a ride from the airport in the “music-mobile”, I was impressed. Although the Pioneer’s remote is rubberbanded to the top of his center console and he uses it like crazy – he never looks at it! The 30GB Ipod stores a massive library of music. It was a relief to only notice a flick of the finger to the remote as we sat at a stoplight. I realized – he’s likely a safer person on the road than I AM! My time at the stoplight is spent fishing INSIDE my console to see if there is anything I’m not sick of hearing already – then fumbling to eject from single CD player, swap in fresh disc…then as the light changes and traffic is moving again – I try to keep glances quick as I fumble to recase and return the replaced CD into the center console. If the console lid jams – well – Just hope you aren’t driving the same road that I AM! Take the newbie teen driver road and stay safe! He’s watching the road AND choosing music from a library bigger than I would’ve dreamed possible at his age! STAY SAFE AND ENJOY LIFE….PACK YOUR POD AND GET THE CABLE!
I like being able to operate my iPod through my radio….the only downfall is unlike other cables that plug into the bottom , this one doesnt provide a charge for the iPod. So , if your going on a long trip, bring your car charger for your iPod.
This is exactly what was purchased. Though it wasnt compatible with my stereo, the cord is very sturdy and seems like a right match for what it is supposed to do. So before buying this product, check many times in many places to see if this is compatible with your radio. i ended up buying a different cord because replacing the stereo wouldve been very expensive ($80-$500+), I have nothing bad to say so dont take my word for it. just be very cautious.
