Hey all, need a little help for my mate. He wants to connect his ipod to to his alpine HU, which is a 9833. Apparently the alpine specific connectors only let u control the ipod through the HU but he wants to control it through the ipod. (if that makes sense). The ipod is the new 60GB one. So anyone that has connected an ipod or tim, magnat, eek can u let us know.

thanks for your help fellas.

I have the Alpine Ilink in my car (that what your talking about) and no you cant control it using the pod as far as i know .. you have to use the h/u but hey u get a cool Alpine logo on the screen .The only way i know is do a custom wiring job using the pre outs

if the unit has aux he should jsut be able to plug it into that, then get aux to 3.5 mm adapter (like 5 bucks at tandy) and should be able to control it throguh the ipod. it's what i do with mine :)

yeh that is kind of along the lines of what i suggested to him. thanks for that ill pass it on

just curious but why does he prefer that option? i wouldve thought controlling it thru the ipod is more hazardous while driving!

ive been told that using the ipod adaptor on aline hu's are kinda slow.. for changing tracks and stuff.

maybe thas why

Yeah mate i got one of these for the mrs too.. I brought her a Black 60G video ipod yesterday and also the Alpine module to adapt to HU, they plug straight into the stacker input connector.... This bloody shiite aint cheap.. ipod was $565 and the Module was $160.. Havent put it in the car yet so i cant tell you if its slow..

she has got the CDA 9807 a few year old Deck now.. :D

I find it ok bit slow but hey its got a lot of music to find etc .

does ne one know wot alpine decks are compatible with the ipod interface?
ive got CDA9811, would this work with it? im a dumba$$ when it comes to audio matters lol

im not sure why he wants to use the ipod to control actually. i thought it would be more dangerous aswell. thanks everyone for your help so far

from what i know(that aint much:))any MP3 head unit will work.. there is two models like Tanya`s and it will only work on her as its the MP3 model..:)

Any Headunit with AUX in (so any alpine with this) will be able to run an ipod, all this week my mate brought his ipod along on the way to TAFE (we car pool as it's a 40km trip) and all we had to do was plug the lead i have (audio out into RCA out) and it worked beautifully :).

any alpine headunit with ai-net plug is able to have an ipod connected to it. Even the older models can run the ipod. Just they either dont allow you to control the ipod through it or they just dont show that its an ipod. Over winter half the alpine headunits had the ipod interface included for free. Might still be able to get that deal. Anyhow if you dont want to control your ipod through your headunit but still have the sound in your stereo, You get the ai-net-rca adaptor. Costs around 60-80 dollars for the cable. THen you just need auio-rca adaptor from dicksmith which will cost 5-10 dollars.
