hey guys, im about to get this unit very soon, probably within a week or so. i just needed to know if there is a connector that i can use to connect my ipod to this unit. i know pioneer uses a adapter which makes the unit think its connected to a cd-changer. i know kenwood has a unit that allows you to use the controls on the kenwood screen. i cant seem to find anything for the eclipse though. i really like this unit but i will have to change my mind if i cant get the ipod working

 

eclipse has no Ipod connection, but it does have a aux out. THats what my ipod is connected to.

No IPOD adapter for Eclipse - are you 100% set on the 5435? Only reason I ask is because I'm personally disappointed with the unit - for one, no IPOD interface, secondly, the sub control - you can't turn the sub ON/OFF with the unit, and it only has 4 levels of volume control for it.

Have you considered the Pioneer AVIC-D1? We are doing a lot of those now - they are cheaper than the 5435 and the video and navi interrupt can be bypassed to play while in motion (not that I recommend watching movies while driving) - and even though the D1 doesn't play DVD's, we have a package for about $2000, INSTALLED, with a seperate TINY dvd player that fits in the glovebox and IPOD interface all included.

 

ahhh alright street you changed my mind. pioneer it is.

 

Tarpan, so easily influenced

 

haha, what street says makes sense tho. i could get the eclipse for around 1500 and i could get the pioneer around the same but i could use all three features (dvd, navi and cd) at once. plus i already have the pioneer ipod adapter

 

i believe that eclipse is planning on coming out with an ipod adapter early next year..

 

^ ahh well, i couldnt wait. i just sent ron payment for the dashkit and dvd player. im real excited!!!!
