Alpine announces iPod Interface

FYI:

Alpine ships car stereo iPod interface
By Peter Cohen pcohen@maccentral.com

Alpine Electronics of America Inc. on Tuesday announced it is shipping its Interface Adapter for iPod, model KCA-420i. The $100 product enables Alpine's 2004 Ai-NET in-dash head units to interface with Apple's iPod and iPod mini. First announced in January, the Alpine Interface Adapter for iPod enables Alpine users to navigate their iPod's playlists, search for songs and more using the front panel buttons or remote on compatible Alpine head units. The interface kit can be installed anywhere in the car and charges the iPod's battery when it's connected. The kit and installation is offered through authorized Alpine dealers.

Very interesting. Thanks.

Yet it seems not easy to make it work together with our system.

After viewing the Alpine Demo, I don't think it is compatible. I hope I'm wrong, though.

Our head units do not communicate on the AI-Net interface. The stock head unit uses the GA-Net II interface from Honda so there will need to be a conversion that happens. That conversion unit will also have to know the codes for the new Alpine interface ..... just wait on Blitzsafe.

yeah this has been posted before and the interface will not work with our system. the ipod interface connects using AI-NET and we do not have that connection on our cars.
