Pioneer CDI200 Direct Cable for iBus Headunits and iPod (Black)

I purchased the CD-i200 to interface my ipod CLASSIC to the AVIC-N4 HU in my car. After I installed it and plugged in my ipod I got an error message on screen. Not being able to find the error code given in either owners manual, I called Pioneer customer (non)support. I was told the code meant that particular ipod was incompatible with the N4. I then asked which ipods do work with this interface? I was told MOST GEN 3 & 4 ipods will work. When I asked if he could be a little more specific, he got testy with me and hung up. I have since been able to learn that the N4 is also incompatible with the ipod touch. Which ipods will work with this item. I don't know. So if you have an N4 and an ipod, you better make sure that your ipod will work BEFORE you purchase this item. In my opinion it's worthless without that information. If you don't know, don't expect any help form Pioneer.

I have a 2G ipod touch and a 5G ipod video. It plays video from both. You have to play a video file and the first time you wont get a picture but on the second play it will work. On the ipod video every video i tried works, On the touch some resolutions wont play .I tested many video files and resolutions and 50% of them work. It works perfectly on the audio side. However it wont charge my 2G ipod touch and ive heard it wont charge the 3g iphone , thats why i didnt give it 5 stars. Im using it with the AVH-P4000 head unit.

THis cable worked great with my new stereo. Its the perfect length for me to be able to access my I-pod if the need be. Love the fact that I can connect my I-pod to the stereo and not have to worry about touching the I-pod to change a song or playlist. I would recommend this cable to anybody who purchases an I-pod ready car stereo, it makes the music experience more enjoyable.

This cable was a great addition to my AVH-P4000DVD. Not only does it allow me to play music from my iPhone, but also videos! I had to purchase a separate adapter though to get it to charge the phone.

this cable makes controlling iPod 80 gb works really well with pioneer avh-p4000d, especiall while driving. thanks pioneer!
