Well, you can get a cable which converts AiNet->MBus to be able to use this adapter with your headunit.

I will do the Ai-Net eventually, but no timeline yet.

SO does this only work with Alpine Head Units? I am looking at something similar for pioneer, will this work?

jbors

Nope. I had plans to implement IP bus as well. But it is been pushed out.

Why is this is? Was it too difficcult to implement or you just got no need for it personally?

mentalmike

hi, just wondering if this will work on the bmw bus system?

jbors

It just takes too much time and efforts to build. For now I don't have time and resources for that. If anyone can assist I will be glad to accept.

No, even though it theoretically can. The PIC program has to be changed though. You can get IBus boards in many places.

Not a problem. If we'll get 10 people wanting Pioneer adapter I'll make it in a month.

Hi

Don't know if this is the right place to post.
I have got a Pioneer AVIC X1 HU sat\nav, dvd, mp3.
I also have a cd changer (6cd) fitted, this is connected useing the
IP-BUS.

I have tryed putting a mp3 cd into the changer, but i don't get anything on the display, no folders or track list I have been told that it needs to be an mp3 cd changer.

here we go: I have been looking for a cd changer that can play mp3 cd's
that will replace the one i got, but it must be IP-BUS wired.
After weeks of looking, it looks like Pioneer don't do an mp3 cd changer!! but most other makes do, but not with IP-BUS system.

What i would like to know, is there a way to interface to the IP-BUS system so that i could use another make of cd changer that can play
mp3 cd's ?

Maybe i could be one of the ten people wanting Pioneer adapter!!

Thanks for reading this

I may dissapoint you but afaik IP bus does not allow you to specify folders or even track names. Even though you will be able to select all those tracks, it will be nameless.

[edit]
I just took a look at IP Bus. It seems it is possible to send track names. So if HU supports that, it will be displayed

I'm interested in the ipbus for pioneer if you can get enough people

DJ-Q

Yes I reckon there would deffinatley be enough people that want to control a carmp3 through a pioneer HU.

Hi

just a quick one, does an mp3 cd changer have a mp3 decoder
built in to it ?

If so, whould this provide the info to give track names ?

As with normal audio cd's it do give the track info on to the
display of the HU.

Thanks
