I got a new headunit that I want to use with my iPod, but don't know which would be best to use. It has an AUX plug in the back and also one for an IP bus but don't know which would be better.

Would they both give me the same sound, or should I shell out the extra cash for the expensive one?

really it all depends the second one looks like it will also charge your ipod. i doubt by ear you will hear much difference in the two

Well the auxillary won't charge your ipod but you can go buy one at like radioshak or walmart for like 4$. The ipod one is better I guess, you get better SQ too. I use the Aux myself because I don't like scrolling through my huge library on my headunit.

dont bother getting the ip cause scrolling through your headunits screen is a pain and since ipods are so portable it just as easy to take it inside when it needs to be charged..

I think I'll just get the AUX cable first, and might get the ip bus when I have more money. Also, I already have a car charger for my ipod so its not a problem.
