Actually, what I think gbaity is doing is utilizing his IP(Interactive Pioneer)-Bus port in the back of the DEH-P3000, which is an input port designed to allow the deck to use an external multi-disk CD changer. All you need is the CD changer, then change the input source from your deck to "M-CD". There are folks on eBay and other places that sell a cable that pluggs into that very same port. They are designed to allow the unit to accept input through the IP-Bus from an ipod or just about any low-level input that you can pass through the RCA jacks. I have the same deck, and also just purchased an ipod cable for the IP-Bus, and it also does not work. I have been told that I need to switch the "M-CD" input source to "AUX" as the input, but I do not know how to do that. pressing the input source button only displays "CD", "M-CD", and "FM/AM". Does anyone know how to add "AUX" to the choices or otherwise show us how to make these cables work? Thanks - TomR

    Hi gbaity. Here is the solution for you. I just did this with my DEH-P3000 and my iPod now works!

    1. With your DEH-P3000 turned off but the ignition turned on, press your FUNCtion button. It's a tiny button towards the upper right of the faceplate. Hold it down until you "ALARM OFF" or "ALARM ON" on the display. Release the button.

    2. Press the FUNCtion button again and you should see another feature. I don't remember how many features you need to cycle through, but keep releasing and pressing the FUNCtion button until you see "M-CD ON" on the display. If you miss it just keep going and eventually it will come back.

    3. On the right side of your faceplate there is a button with 4 arrows. You will need to push the up or down arrow until the display reads "M-CD OFF". If your display already reads "M-CD OFF", kip to the next step.

    4. Press and release the FUNCtion button again and you should see "AUX OFF" on the display. Again press the up or down arrow until the display reads "AUX ON".

    5. Now, turn on your unit, then press the INPUT button until the display reads "AUX". You are now ready to use your iPod in the way you always did. Keep these instructions for the future since I believe every time you disconnect the unit from the battery the unit will reset itself and disable your iPod cord.

    Best regards - TomR

Buy the adaptor then change to rca and like the other guy said turn on the aux. I am doing the same thing but now I have a problem with feedback or something. Now I get a constant hum from the speakers when at low volumes and then the subs will play but then go crazy and I feel like they are going to blow. What do I do to get rid of the hum and keep the speakers from just getting real loud for no reason?

Go here for a manual for your cd player http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/support/details/0,,2076_310070337_32846,00.html I have a sneaking suspicion that your cd player only has rca audio OUTPUTS. they output low voltage sound for hooking up a amp,etc.. most of the older pioneers do not have rca INputs to hookp an ipod etc.. you will either have to use a different deck with rca inputs or use a fm modulator unfortunately..

Does using an ipod/AUX adapter through the CD changer input stop a real CD from working?
you have to change it from the Aux setting to CD when you want to play cd, some cd players switch to aux. automatically when you plug inthe aux. cable. and may have to be unplugged when playing cd.

Wurlitzer 1050 100cd loads but wont play any sound, been told cd player gone, what is best and cheapest solution? maybe convert to ipod? if so how can I do this?
you mean you wanna input an ipod?, simply connect your headphone output to your ipod towards this mega changer. that is if there's headphone input of this jukebox, if not..get a cable with headphone input and rca left and right at the end to be inputed towards the jukebox unit..

I want to be able to hook up my wife's new version 4 Ipod but there is no little ipod hole in the Alpine in front to lug it into. Is there an aux hole in the back of the unit or? Dean
To use an auxillary input on this radio - you need the correct cabling to "trick" the radio into thinking there is a CD changer attached.

CLICK HERE to see the adapter required.
Then you will need a different adapter that converts your 3.5mm jack to component RCAs.

THIS ONE is the second plug you need.

Then you can use your 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male cable.

Or you can eliminate this cable and get a 3.5mm MALE to Male RCA cable like this one...

How can I get my ipod to work on the Alpine CDA-7892?
Ai-NET/RCA Interface cable (KCA-121B)
Converts the changer port to RCAs... then an RCA to female 3.5mm female adapter.
Or an FM Modulator.

Preplace the charger by another device
Yes it is possible with any cd changer that have RCA jacks behind the radio,
that is your case, you are goin gto install a audio sensing device, when the ipod is on the cd changer will stop,
when the ipod is off the cd changer will play 10 seconds later
this interface is only rca jacks easy to plug behind the radio and you can use any audio source, ipod mp3 sat radio
you can also buy a ipod cable

audio sensing device, it is made for sony, but will work with any rca jacks source, also cd changer must be present all the time, don't remove it

How do you hook up your ipod through the rca cable hookups in the back without the radio still playing?
This is different on every stereo, but generally the RCA ports in the back of the stereo are labeled "Aux" or something to that extent.

First, you must purchase a headphone jack to RCA cable which can connect to both your stereo and your ipod.

Connect the cable, turn your ipod on and start playing a song. Turn the volume on the stereo to a moderate volume so you can hear when the song is being played through your stereo. Then, using the selector switch, turn the stereo from "Radio" to "Aux" or whatever it says next to the the RCA plug ins on the back.

IPOD ADAPTOR
you have to buy the ipod connection kit to pioneer, but if your deck have RCA input at the back..all you need is Y cable 2 (RCA male - 35mm jack)

RCA will be connected to DECK, 35 mm jack to your ipod.

to use your ipod...change the input setting on your deck to AUX (auxillary) most deck have this for CD Changer connection

Good Luck

How do I turn on the "external aux" for my pioneer DEH-p7000r
You'll need an adapter cable such as this one:
http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?search=ip+bus&i=469PIOPRCA

The adapter cable will convert the changer port on your head unit into an AUX input with dual RCA jacks. Once connected, the head unit will detect the cable and allow it to be another source (i.e. radio, cd, aux).

To connect your iPod to the adapter cable, use any iPod cable or dock that outputs to male RCA plugs.

Sound only coming from one side
you should have 3 leads going into you multi changer, two rca's and one bus lead. power up the unit and remove the first rca cable if the music goes off unplug the second rca and plug the first rca where the second was plugged in, if the music comes back on then the multiloader is working fine and you need to check the radio controller and its connections
