Pioneer CD-IU50 iPod Connection Cable Connect Your iPod to Select Pioneer in-Dash Stereos USB-to-iPod Adapter for Pioneer and Pioneer Premier in-Dash Car Stereos

Purchased this unit to work with a Pioneer stereo for my son. Its a cable. It plugs in at each end. So, that basically means, easy to install. It works great with the receiver allowing him to play his iPod through the radio. The receiver is able to control the iPod through this cable, so it makes it quick and easy to operate and allows him to see whats playing through the digital readout of his receiver. Nice product that does what its designed to do with no troubles.

I bought this thinking that Pioneer may have some sort of specialty use for this cable, but it turned out to be a standard USB to iPod connector. The two good things about this are that it's black (not white, which would stand out in most car interiors and scream "I have an iPod stereo" to every thieve around, and it has a cover for the connector so that it doesn't get dirty.Other than that, you could buy a cheaper cable elsewhere....

Not much to say about it really. It does what it's supposed to do exactly the way I expected it to, and the sound seems to be the same as I heard with my last deck. The little plastic cap that goes over the iPod end of the cable can get in the way a little, but that's easily tolerable. Definitely worth the purchase to ensure the ideal connection between the Pioneer AVIC-U310BT and an iPod, I think.

I bought this item to connect my iPod with my car stereo. What I like the most is the color because you can hide it in your dash and it won't look funny when you have your iPod attached to it.Works very good, iPod lock system is easy to remove and connector cap avoids dust from getting into it.This device has enough cable distance to fit any dash of any car. If you want to use it as a backup for your original iPod connector, is great.

Yes, you can just use a regular ipod cable, I tried several including an expensive Griffin. They all had the same problem, if you move your phone much, the charge feature will often disappear. With the pioneer cable, that problem went away. The fit is far better and more secure. If you don't care about charging, then you don't need a cable anyway, just use the bluetooth. This cable was worth the money, as it's far superior to any ipod cable.

the description says (6 ft.)and yet what I got was not even a foot 1/2...but was needed because I kept getting error readings from the head-unit, so I figured I'd give the recommended hardware a use for the device.

If you own an iPod and a compatible Pioneer head unit, this is an accessory you simply must purchase!I am using this with a Pioneer DEH-P7000BT Receiver and a iPod Classic 120 GB (6th gen) and couldn't be happier with the added beneft of controlling my iPod directly from the receiver, all the while keeping my iPod charged.If I'm so happy, why did I only give it four stars? Because in my humble opinion ~$30 is practically highway robbery for a USB cable with an iPod head on one end. But if you own an iPod, you're probably already used to this superfluous markup on accessories.Apart from that, there really isn't much to say about this product- it is a cable, nothing more and nothing less. Be sure to check compatibility with the head unit and iPod you plan to use befre purchasing, just to be safe.

should have looked thoroughly through the reviews from others that say this cable was very unnecessary to connect the ipod to the deck. It would have been a lot better if the cable was a long as an original ipod cable, just so it matches the dark interior of most vehicles. Other than that, there's no major issues with this cable, except it's very short and a waste of 21$
