Ipod to MP3 player cord?

[dylan702110988]

OK, i just bought a new Alpine head unit and just finished installing it

i have a question for those of you with Alpine head units, is there any cord that i can use to play my Creative Zen player on this deck? like a ipod to male cord they sell?

it might have been answered before but i couldn't find it on here, i even searched Google. I would just like to listen to my mp3 player too.

I have seen a BUNCH of different Alpine headunits with different Inputs, so im not sure exactly what your looking for but I'll list some that I have Installed that have worked well

3.5mm (headphone jack) to 3.5mm This is used when you have a 3.5mm input on the face or in the back of the radio and you can just plug your I-pod in the headphone port.

3.5mm to RCA. Plug into head phone jack of the I-Pod then Use the RCA input in the back of the radio.

Alpine I-pod harness...This plugs into the back of some alpine radios and utilizes the jack on the bottom of the I-pod so It will aslo charge it as well.

there are some for ya...hopefully one will suit your needs.

that's the problem there's nothing like that...there's 2 plugs on the back (red and white) but i think those are for a amp

i need a ipod to 3.5mm

do they make that?

How about this? I'm not sure which model you have though, and if there'd be any compatibility issues.

Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. - KCA-620M

Best I can think of is this Peripheral Electronics - Connex2car Auxiliary Input for Select Pioneer Radios - PXA02. Altough this is made for a pioneer best buy has one for the alpine decks. And you can probably find it online cheaper. Just use the 3.5mm and keep the ipod connector and rcas behind the deck or something. If this is what you are talking about.

let me try to explain a little better

i have 2 connections in the back of the unit (manual says there for an amp) and the only other thing i can do is get a cord that would connect to a ipod wire that goes to a 3.5mm...

hard to explain...ill take pics later on today so u can see what I'm talking about

So, your Alpine has a 3.5mm input on the front?

And the IPod uses a 2.5mm output, correct?

Or maybe I am missing it altogether, but from what I read, thats what you are doing

 

[Jdiddy2k4]

do you have the model number for the alpine unit?

You aren't going to be able to get musical notes into the pre-amp "out" door. If you don't have an AUX input on the face of your player, there probably won't be one on the back .

Why couldnt You use a 3.5-3.5 mm jack as I stated earlier??? You claim the radio has a 3.5mm Input right?? Well the I-pod has a 3.5mm output...(the headphone jack on the I-Pod) You will not find a cable that attaches to the bottom of the I-pod and also go to a 3.5mm jack. They sell the cables im talking about at any radio shack or electronic store
