Okay sorry this is a repost, i posted in the nissan audio but it doesnt look like that gets much volume and I need an answer, my fm transmitter just took a dump on me and i need the tunes lol hope you guys understand.

Does this deck have an ipod cable hookup to it? on the front it sais mp3 wma. on the back theres no usb cable but there is a purple slot thats open. Maybe to put a cable in? Its a pioneer. It sais "MOSFET 50w x 4" on the front. I dont know if thats the model or not.



Oh and to keep you happy

it does have a hook up, you just need to buy the special cord from pioneer....guy at the stereo shop quoted me 100 bucks for it so i said CDs it is.

The slot that you're talking about is for the IPBUS cable. You can get it cheap on ebay.

I'm pretty that pioneer model has the rear speaker wires (red and white). If you want a really cheap temperary fix, you can get a red and white audo wires with a headphone jack and connect it to you ipod. The only problem is that the music will only be in your rear speakers.

A friend of mine used the cable that comes with your Ipod. Connecting it to your computer. Same usb plugs. If you've killed an Ipod in the past like me (washing machine ) you have extra cables!

Yep, that's where I got my cable from. Around $6 after shipping 4 or so months ago. Works like a champ with my MP3 player, soon to play my navigation and audio from the GPS unit.

Cheep and easy, just the way I like it.

perfect! thank you guys alot. Ill hit up radio shack or something and if like you said, 100 bucks, then ill look on ebay. Thanks alot guys

Radioshack probably doesn't have them, at least the last time I went. I'd prolly go with ebay or go directly through pioneer.

Okay so with that cable, i need to buy another cable that has the red and white jacks into a a single headphone jack? Or into a usb for my ipod cable....im a litle confused. Ill take my deck out tomorrow and see if thats the right port for the IPBUS cable to go into, it looks different though. The pink port has alot of different prongs and the IPBUS cable only has one.

Sorry for the repost but I just found some on Amazon reasonably priced.

Just saw your post. All you do is plug the cable into the back of the pioneer unit and then using the same cord, plug the other end into the ipod. see "picture"

[pioneer unit] ------ipod adapter cable --------(ipod)

The nice thing about the cables are that, your ipod is kept charged when plugged in....and you can control you ipod (usually) from the headunit.

This man speaks the truth (if you have a USB hook up) Saves you a lot of money! just don't leave it sitting in the open inside your car.

I have the radioshack headphone cable, You just look at the back of the deck and if you have an aux in, you are good to go.

If your deck is I-Pod ready you can check various sites for the I-pod cable. It will integrate your ipod so that it charges through your deck and is controllable through the deck itself(shows all you playlists ect.). That way you can run the cable to your glove box and just plug it up and forget about it. I know best buy has them because i work there but i don't know what your deck needs if its even compatible with that type of cable. Anyway you could find the model of your deck?

No i didnt find the model of the deck, unless its that "mosfet" writing on the front, i googled that but came up with various pioneer models, not mine. Ill take out the deck tomorrow, take a pic of the back and post it here. If i can buy the cable off ebay for cheap that would be great (im seriously tight on cash). Thanks again though
