Ipod through your stereo

[Bazza_Clio]

Ordered a connector lead off ebay to play ipod shuffle through my stereo and just plugged it into the aux slots in the back of it and its only playing throgh the front speakers?
Not the rear 6x9's or my sub?
Anyone got any ideas?

This is the headunit

You head unit doesnt accept full input only rear input on the Aux channel, so I presume its wired back to front. You can get the IPOD adapter for the pioneer IP bus (Pioneer CD-IB100 IPOD) which will allow full control.
Alternatively revert to the origional unit and use this:

But at £99 its quite expensive, but then again it does work with your steering wheel controls and displays the track name etc on the display.

However, for the money you can buy:

which you ipod will plug directly into. Not bad value. at only£50 more.

Hope that helps

Do you have an Amplifier connected to the headunit ?

If you do.

The sound the 6x9's and the sub may go through Rca (phono)leads
and thats why your only getting sound through the front speakers.

Excuse me if i'm speaking crap.

Does your car have rear speakers fitted as standard ?

As that may also be the problem :S

Or it could be what downie said

Pioneer CD-IB100 IPOD won't work with a shuffle, only 2nd generation ipod's as the shuffle only has a 3.5mm jack connection.

But I bought one of these from halfords for £24.90. all halfords have reduced them to that price.

If you want to stick with the shuffle try one of these:

plug it into the 'aux in' RCA connections. won't be able to control it through the stereo but it's cheap as chips and it'll play your ipod music

Why didn't you leave the rear speakers connected at the speaker end and just not connect them behind the headunit ?


And connect your 6x9's (or even the front speakers) to your amp along with your sub ?

 

[Bazza_Clio]

I didn't do it mate a company fitted it all?

Ah right ok,it was probably the best and quickest option at the time.

I dread to think how thin the wire is connected to them,it'll just be standard speaker wire i guess which is thin as f**k

Having the speakers wired into the Amp with uprated speaker cable and the sound signal fed through Rca Cables from the headunit to the amp will sound much better
