Good call! I have the exact trim removal set.

But I'm not sure if I used it on the Z's HU install...

G Fo12ce thank you for your recommendation!
Btw where do you guys have your ipod cable come out to?
Anyone got a pix?

I haven't decided yet, but I plan to get a nice grommet from a local electronics supply so it looks clean instead of a drilled hole. I did that in my wifes car for her DICE iPod kit. I'm leaning toward the upper glove box but not sure.

Grommet (they come in various diameters):

i just made my own gasket like below using EZ felt black. this is on my G, but the same for my Z for its USB cable going to my Nuvi inside the cubby. double stick tape or use a glue gun. the black matches the inside well, but the flash made it a werd color in the pict.

this is the outside. the circle and line on masking tape is where and how i cut the EZ felt.

Yep, I'm not a ipod user.

Ok so I'm a little confised about something.

This cable (Pioneer CD-IU50V) I've read is only necessary when you want to play video from your iPod, other wise the USB on the front can be connected to it with any regular iPod cable.

The thing is I don't want a cable conected to the front. Is it safe to assume the CD-IU50V cable connects to the back of the head unit so I can then run it to another area (glove box or where ever).

Hold on does this unit come with any accessories? like a cable that connects to your iphone or usb?
i checked the site and i couldnt fine any...

And this product... if ur ipod or iphone is plugged in... if u were to click next on the interface (not ur ipod) will it would go to the next track?

No you must supply the cable for ipod that is how most companies are.

For just audio you can use your usb cord that came with your ipod but if you want video you have to but the ipod video cord.

just got mine in today. i'll post pics up in about 5 days!

G Fo12ce · 08-19-2010, 10:47 PM

Got mine today. To answer my own question, there is no USB port on the face of the unit, only a micro SD card slot. Also, it comes with a cable that plugs in the back and terminates in a USB plug. If you want iPod connectivity then you have to get the Pioneer CD-IU50V iPod cable. Just FYI they also make CD-U150E, an extension cable the IU50V for longer runs.

JayYoon · 08-20-2010, 06:03 AM

well i ordered the Pioneer CD-IU50V iPod cable but if there is micro sd slot... i rather use that over ipod any day!!! cant wait til my hu comes in!!! GRRR!!!

JayYoon · 08-20-2010, 06:07 AM
