USA Post Number: 864 Registered: Oct-07 | is there any accesory tht u can buy so that u can use the ipod itself to select music and not use the headunit?? i saw something yest made by a company called USA spec but i didnt fully understand if it would be an upgrade from the alpine ida-x001 full speed cable or a downgrade and it said you need a seperate part tht i couldnt find anything else?? because i think it would look cool usuing my ipod touch to change tracks in the car since i just bought a little holder for it. |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1433 Registered: Mar-07 | just use the full speed, that's what it's there for. if you have alot of songs, and by alot I mean at least 5k, then start making playlists |

Silver Member Username: Mj23dynastySome where 12 wangin o..., The Mighty J... USA Post Number: 866 Registered: Oct-07 | Yea did my research V.T thanks tho. Ok do you lose any SQ by using the RCA inputs and dnt u need those imputs to plug speakers in or something. I'm a straight noob when it comes to HU wiring. All I kno about is te remote turn on wire. |

Silver Member Username: Vtouch06Q-TowN, PA Post Number: 235 Registered: Nov-07 | there's goin to be 3 Rca's output: subwoofer output, rear output, front outputs....but i dunno how you would hook up ipod to the rcas and how that works....if i was you, your better off controlling it off the HU thats what its for, u dnt wanna lose control and get into an accident trying to find a song controlling it thru your ipod lol. |

Silver Member Username: Vtouch06Q-TowN, PA Post Number: 238 Registered: Nov-07 | lol nick, he was probably talkin about the sub output but the front and rear output rca is used when you have an amp to power your speakers..., but neways MJ23dynasty wiring an HU is mad easy.... |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4883 Registered: Jul-06 | You will lose SQ when using RCA inputs compared to a direct connection to the HU cd changer or accessory port. Reason is that port is digital, so the audio is exactly as it originated at the ipod. RCAs are analog, therefore the audio is converted from digital to analog and back to digital when it gets into the HU. Every time it converts you lose quality. The RCA inputs will still sound MUCH better than an FM transmitter, or wired FM adapter though. There is a terrible amount of quality loss with those. |
