Thanks Brokly for your answers.

It a MAX202 instead of a MAX232

Hi,

There is a thread "Купил I-Pod и пионеровский адаптер CD-IB100" which sounds interesting. (But I can not read russian).

Concerning the IPOD and the pioneer IPOD interface CD-IB100;
Some people say that this interface is very slow and it is hard to navigate through the menus of the IPOD with the HU buttons.

My question,
- Is there someone which has experience with this CD-IB100?
- Is this interface really slow or is it the IPOD which reacts slow on the HU commands?
- Is this slow communication solved when using the 3rd/4th generation IPOD?
- When the IPOD is connected to the HU, does it behave like a Pioneer CD-changer?
- Does it display the ID3-tags on your head-unit? (including scrolling)

I hope someone can answer me. I like the Vitat-hardware-interface but I have no spare time to build this interface myself.

Regards,
Dave

Thanks Brokly!

Did someone succeeded "connecting" WinAmp to a pioneer HU using Vitat's ip-bus interface hardware???

If so, can you post then some pictures (HU + interface hardware with connection to PC which is running winamp) and maybe the plugin for WinAmp? (including the source code)

Thanks in advance,
Dave

I found the following thing on the WWW

http//instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/FinalProjects/s2004/km279/Copy%20of%20ece476/

There is a piece of C-code that makes communication via rs232 possible with WinAMP.

See also http//www.vitat.spb.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=94

Is there somone who succeeded to create a WinAMP plugin that communicates with the Pioneer Head Unit?

So the head unit controls WinAMP (play, next track, previous track stop, end so on). And WinAMP sends the current playing MP3-track information to the head unit (The ID3-tag information)?

Ofcourse this communication will take place with Vitat's IP-bus interface hardware elsewhere on this forum.

Dave

Sounds interesting o  but I can not read it  ( . Is it possible to translate this?? (I used bablefish but it is then still hard to understand...)

Vitat,

Can the OpAmp LM339 be removed when using the MAX3050 (instead of the PCA82C250) ???

Kind regards,
Dave

The guest above was me.... forgotten to log in.

A long time ago I saw a snapshot of a schematic of a pioneer radio with IP-bus connection. I found this schematic somewhere in the yahoo groups ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ipbus ). Pioneer uses an IP-bus driver with type number CA0008AN.

Kind regards,
Dave

Hi,

Why don't you use the PCA82C250 RxD pin instead of the LM339?

Thanks in advance for answering,

Kind regards,
Dave
