I had a Jensen 9311 and I just wasnt happy with the SQ,but it has a ton of features.I came across the Kenwood unit used for 400.00.I know its a couple of years old but damn,what a difference!!People kept telling me "dont buy the Jensen" I did anyway and this Kenwood makes the Jensen look like a toy.I havent even figured it all out yet. My question is this,can I hook up my I pod Nano to the Kenwood?If so what would I need to do it?? Thanks |

However, the control is sluggish, the interface is non-intuitive and it has a tendancy to cause the iPod to lock up. I have a buddy who runs the 815 and got the IP500 as a gift and he says if it hadn't been free he probably wouldn't use it. 2) A simple Mini to RCA Adapter cable hooked from the headphone port on the iPod to the AUX in on your DVD brain. Control stays on the iPod but you sacrafice some sound quality using the headphone port rather than the dock connector. Alternatively, I run the Kenwood 617DVD and use the following to run my iPod: I wanted to keep the controls on my iPod, use the dock connector and have charging so I use a Belkin Auto Kit and a Mini to RCA cable and run it to my AUX in on my DVD brain. It was the best solution for me but everyone has different needs. |
