Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Basically, it's like this: if you have a Pioneer head-unit and an iPod, you NEED to buy this. Now. Not only do you get full control over the iPod, but you get to see the artist, album, song title, time elapsed, time remaining, and progress bar if your HU supports it (my AVICZ1 does). Besides the basic ability to control your iPod through the HU, it looks cool, it feels cool, and it's great being able to glance down and quickly see what's playing.
My only complaint is it's SLOW. No, it's not the head unit that's slow, it's the cd-IB100ii box. Ya see, instead of mounting the iPod as a drive and accessing the database directly (like iTunes does), it connects over a unique serial/analog connection. This is done for a few reasons I'd expect, but mainly so that the iPod is still actually doing the playing (so you can play your protected, purchased music). The downside to this is it takes FOREVER to access, read, and display even a single page of the database. Granted, it's faster than the original cd-IB100, but if you think you can just scroll down to Paul Oakenfold under Artists, you are horribly mistaken. Basically, as long as you only access playlists you've created on the computer, the lag is bearable (as you won't be manually scanning through hours of pages to find your song).
Note, the iPod screen is "locked" while connected, so you cannot get around this by using the iPod to navigate. You *CAN* however undock the iPod, pull up a track, start it playing then doc it again, and it'll continue playing from there.
