H701 ai-net question

3onDubs · 08-01-2006, 07:29 PM

This is not a carputer question (i appologize....flamesuit on), but I have asked this question in other forums and I was unable to get an answer. I figured that the experts here have more experience with the H701 than pretty much anyone else and I trust that knowledge...

...with that said, i'm running a W200 (double din hu)/H701 combo and the W200 acts as the controller for the H701 by connecting via an ai-net cable. I am adding an Alpine Bluetooth module that needs an ai-net connection, but the problem is that the only ai-net connection on the W200 is being used by the H701.

The H701 has an ai-net connection that is intended for an optional alpine cd changer. Does anyone know if I would be able to connect my Alpine Bluetooth module to this slot and have it be fully functional? In other words, can the H701's second ai-net port host modules other than the cd changer?

I appreciate any input...

I don't see why not? You can always call the tech dept @ alpine! They always help me, Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks....

In one of the pictures in the manual u linked me to, it has the bluetooth connected in parallel with a CD changer on that same ai-net port, so i think it should work!

I was going to say yes to, but you all beat me to it. It should work no problem, the H701 is essentially a pass through for the controller/HU in your case W200.
