Rep Power: 226 Ipod Install Location/Idea?
Hi guys. I have a Pioneer avh-p5700dvd mobile video unit . I just bought the cd-ib100 Ipod adapter for my head unit. This unit allows me to manage my ipod from my deck. All I have to do is plug it in and I don't have to touch it until I need to update or want to change my song list. Now my question is....... is what if i install it in the glovebox, rather then using a phone holder or having it show? None of my wires would be visible so you wouldnt even be able to tell i had an ipod. Just take some velcro and attach it to either the front or back wall of the glovebox and run the wire behind the glove box.This way i wouldnt have to worry about it getting stole and it would look neat and clean.
Just wondering what you guys thought of this or if you add any ideas to make it better. What have you guys done when installing your ipod? what locations did you put them in?

Rep Power: 451 i put mine over there on the in the drivers side air vent, easy place to see and easy place to control it
this is where i have the ipod wire coming from the cd changer port on the stock deck, this pic was before i had the mount in the vent. During the summer i have a sunction cup mount for the windshield so i dont block the air conditioning.

Rep Power: 226 Thanks for all the ideas and information guys. I installed mine in the glovebox and hid all of my wiring. I will post pics as soon as I can. I think it turned out pretty nice. If i can think of something better in the mean time, ill try it.

Rep Power: 0 i put mine in the center console cubby to the left of the e-brake, it was the easiest spot since i put the ib100 tuner under the center console. it fits like a glove and i can still shut the door to it if i dont want the ipod to be seen.
airhead: did you get the newer ipod tuner box, the black one? I have the older white one and im not too impressed with it. im hoping they changed the software to make browsing songs faster

Rep Power: 762 I was considering installing mine in the change pocket thing below the cruise/roof/mirror controls on the left side. Still haven't done anything though, I'm not happy with the performance of my iPod adapter, I might have to return it and consider another solution.

Rep Power: 226 I bought the first version, i didnt get the black one (cd-ib100II). Although my brother did buy the black one for his car. Mine is pretty quick when browsing through the songs. Maybe as I put more on it, it will slow down. Haven't ran into to many problems yet.
Also if you change the eq on the ipod while its connected to a deck will it change the sound or not?

Rep Power: 226 ^^^^^^^ you my good sir are correct. I have a 6.5" widescreen display for my deck and its very easy to navigate through my ipod and to view the information. My brother has a pioneer deh-p8600mp and it only shows like the first 10 letters of the song, if that. On top of thats its also a lot more difficult to browse through the songs on his deck.

I was thinking about buying the cd-ib100 Ipod adapter also, but i have a few questions. It says it compatible with my head unit and i was wondering if i just have to take out my head unit and literally plug it into it? Where did you mount that grey box adaptor? and i dont completely understand the part about you not having to mess with the adaptor unless you want to update your song list? Thanks in advance.
