Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio Pioneer Auxiliary hook-up - SOLVED!

So I installed my Omnifi DMP1 yesterday and well it's the BOMB! I f'en love it!

But in the procees I came to a halt when I realised my stupid Pioneer had a funky-ass setup for auxiliary connections. Pionners don't use RCA's for inputs, they have their own "IP-BUS" plug which I though would leave me stranded with having to use an FM modulator . So I went to Best Buy and talked to the mobile-audio dude there, not thinking they'd be much help. But what the hell.

Anyway after talking with the installers out back, one of them suggested I use the XM->Pioneer interface module as it converts the RCA output from an XM radio into the Pioneer IP-BUS input; and sure as sh!t - it works! Cost me $50 for the module but it's worth it. I got back a lot of mp3's I had made from CD's that were stolen from my car a year ago, plus I have a ton more.


Now to start downloading like a fiend to fill that 20gig HD!

I suggest returning that and getting the standard Pioneer RCA interface (CD-RB10), if only for the cost. This one is $30 at Car Domain, but I know I bought mine for cheaper; I just can't remember where. Ebay might be a good place to get one.

Meh, I can't be f'ed messing with it again. It works, and for $20, big deal.

I wish I had seen that before, but I searched this forum and nothing came up on Pioneer interfaces.

Understandable. At least now if someone searches (ha!) they should find this thread.

Didn't think about that. D'oh!

That and I was itching to solve the issue quick. After getting scoliosis putting the f'en hard-drive on the roof of the trunk I was eager to get the thing working - before SZ.

I'm a happy camper now. I have hours of music at my fingertips now. Now to start DL'ing as much shiz as I can find!

lol i was drunk anyhow

This is the cable I will be purchasing once my car is back on the road. Can't go wrong for $20.

So, what kind of music do australians such as yourself like

Ive got a few lots of songs i can hook you up with

i can tell you he only likes midnight oil...and that is it. Just messing. I do like them though. How big is that harddrive anyway? I might convince my brother to pick up one for his car, since it is only, what, $150? I feel more and more ripped off from my NEO. You can control it with your pioneer deck....sigh, I thought that was a big advantage of mine. Now I am just ordinary!!!! OH well, I guess I can just upgrade the thing to 120 gigs. 20 Gigs fills up FAST, just to let you know
