Ipod cable will not work with the DEH-P3000

Hi. Someone (I think it was nhmteam) posted a problem with this unit and an ipod cable he had. It would seem that he had the cable and his ipod worked fine with the stereo unit until one day his car battery died and his ipod no longer worked. His DEH-P3000 used to display "AUX" for source, but after the dead battery "AUX" was replaced with "M-CD". someone suggested he disconnect the battery for an hour or so and that should fix it, but if it did not he was probably having trouble with the microprocessor. I have the same unit. It has been sitting in a box for years and I decided to hook it up to use as a radio for my pool area. It works fine in that capacity. I decided to get the ipod cable that pluggs into the IP-Bus port in the back so the kids could use their ipods for pool music. The cable pluggs in fine but does not work. As with the original posting, I do not have "AUX" as a source/input option either, only "CD", "FM/AM", or "M-CD". Since the unit only has power to it when the power converter is switched on, I feel the problem is something else, like the microprocessor suggested in the first post, but I do not know how to go about fixing it. My manual does not make mention of "AUX" as an option, and I cannot rule out the possibility that the cable itself is defective. Any help you can give is appreciated.

    Hi Benimur. Your instructions were slightly different but it allowed me to get to a point so that I was able to figure out the difference, and now the ipod works fine! Thank you very much.

Hi, On a slightly different model and only if you would venture to try: with the iPod via cable plugged to the iP-Bus port and the unit powered off but the powersupply on - 1. press and hold for a couple of seconds the Function button (FUNC) or till the clock starts to flash; 2. the arrow keys (left/right) will move you through the different menu settings; 3. the arrow keys (up/down) will move you through the different selection for each setting; 4. look for source, external, AUX, iPod or whatever will be displayed which may refer to an external input; 5. soon as you have enabled/set the AUX, press and hold the FUNC button while turning the unit on. This will save the current setup. Hope this also work for your DEH-P3000. Good luck and kind regards.

I think an MP3 player can be attached. How is

Just buy a 3.5mm cable to go from your MP3 player to the "Aux In" jack on the front of the stereo. Plug that in and press "play" on your MP3 player and you're all set.

European Wiring harness not compatible with US bought Stereo

This is not as straightforward as you may think.

You can certainly buy a generic adapter harness which will plug into the European DIN harness and then provide you with the bare wire tails to patch into. You may even find one which plugs directly into the rear of your head unit without the need for patching.

But you'll find that your head unit still won't work properly as the US uses a different FM channel range to Europe (US frequencies are odd, e.g.102.7, Euro frequencies are even e.g.102.8). The channel spacing is also different.

The radio itself cannot be converted, but you may be able to buy an external converter. It won't be cheap, and the head unit display will still always show the wrong frequencies. Channel changing may have to be done directly on the adapter and not on the head unit as I don't think that the DEH-P3000 has any way to communicate a request for a channel change to any external device and this also means that radio channel presetting may be impractical/impossible.

Considering that the DEH-P3000 is an obsolete unit and nothing special to begin with you can buy a brand new Euro-spec head unit of equivalent quality for less than the cost of adapting your unit and it will work correctly without any awkward Heath Robinson adaptations.

Sell your Pioneer back to the USA where it belongs or bin it as it's useless over here.

IPod Adapter kit for DEH-P4800MP

Yes it does, I have proof.

Open a new window/tab browser. Click this link to the PIONEER WEBSITE PDF File for this cable. Please refer to page 7of 84, and look in the category "head unit group 1"... From the BOTTOM LEFT of this paragraph count up FIVE LINES, your Head Unit Model number is right there.

I hope this helps,

I have a pioneer DEH-P3000

Hi nhmteam. I have the solution for you: 1. With your DEH-P3000 turned off, 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

Ipod Connection through RCA Cable

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
