Home > Consumer Reviews > Pioneer CDI200 Direct Cable for iBus Headunits and iPod (Black)

Worked great when I first bought it! But I updated the software on my IPod and POW!!!! No more video to the head unit(Pioneer Avic-D3)! Not the cable's fault, but it's still 50% useless to me now. Works great if all you want to control is music!

No video playback with newer iPod models (nanos, iPod touch, iPhone). Audio interface works fine.

I purchased this cable for the Pioneer AVH-P5000 DVD. I read a few reviews that said it wasn't compatible with the iPhone. I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give it a chance. After installation, I connected an iPhone 3gs, and it works perfectly!! The only flaw is that it doesn't charge the iPhone while connected.

A Must Have!!!!!!!

I was pleased with the cable as when I bought my pioneer receiver and my ipod I did not knwo this cable existed. I was excited to find out about it and had it installed right away. I was thrilled until the ipod stopped working, and then I found out that in my set up the receiver does not charge the ipod. When I connect the ipod the ipod screen says "charging is not available with this accesory" this was really bad news for me as now I need an extra cable to charge it or I have to take it out and charge it separetedly which was not the idea. So, make sure the charging option is available with your receiver. My receiver is a pioneer DEH-P5950IB.

I purchased this unit along with a Pioneer DEH P3001 cd receiver and this is a winning combination it does every thing that they claim. you can control your i pod from the unit or from your i pod itsef.
